The Case Of The Missing Voice....

dum dum dum.... (ok so that was supposed to be music.... lol)

So Friday morning I woke up and my voice was a little scratchy and my throat was a little sore, so I thought nothing to worry about, right???? WRONG! By 8:45 that morning I sounded like a deaf person trying to talk.... (I am not making fun, this is just how I sounded.... just ask my sister) I went all day long like this.... not fun....

Saturday Morning - Surely it will be back to normal.... I haven't talked for at least the last 8 hours... so I should be good... not so much... just not happening.... so on this day I talked barely above a whisper...

Sunday Morning - great Leadership meeting at the church this morning.... still can't talk... Heather, tell us how music is going when is the chorale starting?.... (deaf person talking here) "It will start this Tuesday night...." (Ok so at this point people are looking at me like I am retarded and pitiful as well.... great feeling) Yep I am your music director... I promise that when we sing and I teach you the parts it won't sound like this .... hopefully????

Monday - So surely after 4 days my voice should be back to normal and all the little old people that call into work on Monday's should be able to hear me.... not a chance... spent the whole day on voicemails hoping to get well soon..... tonight went and ate with family and promised to go to the nurse practitioner today if I didn't sound any better.

Tuesday - woke up @ 6:00 because I was supposed to have something ready for Stephen to pick up (and had forgotten about it.... oops) grabbed the phone to find out just how long I had before he got there and miraculously THE VOICE IS BACK!!!!!!

Oh my goodness you don't know just how happy I am... I will never take my voice for granted again... I don't think that the people around me will ever be this happy to hear me talk again.... lol... Stephen said that he couldn't wait until I could talk normal again... (I told him that it was annoying.... lol... he didn't believe me until a couple of days later... )

Anyway... fun fun...

So we finally got the washer and dryer installed in the house and had to change the cord (Thanks David for the phone advice!) so glad to have a way to wash clothes at my house... I didn't think that I would ever be so happy to do laundry in my life....

so until next time...
