Well, visited the doctor again yesterday and they took some blood. They’ll let me know in the next couple days if I have anything viral. Could still be an effect of some really aggrivated allergy, the doc says (different doc yesterday than on Friday), so I’ll be on Allegra for a while along with lots of fluids and ibuprofin. Meh.
You never realize how much you take your voice for granted until it’s gone. Helps me appreciate more those people who either just don’t have their hearing or are unable to speak. I suppose I should be grateful for what I have left, the ability to whisper.
On the bright side, I can’t really go out to get fast food because I can’t speak up enough to order what I want, not without having someone go get it for me… so it’s easier not to get it. Even at the grocery store I didn’t have my little discount card, and usually I can just tell them my phone number for them to punch in to get the discount, but yesterday I had to write the number down on a piece of paper, hehe. Ah, how humbling.

I can pretty safely say that I’d prefer most boys better if they couldn’t speak. However, I still hope ya get to feeling better soon (and not just because you’re 2,000 miles away and I don’t have to hear you talk anyways – heh).
sometimes i lose my voice because of an allergy or a cold or whatever… it doesn’t stop me. i just whisper, which is really bad for your voice. but, i just can’t get enough of hearing myself talk!!! I LOVE IT.
Thanks, eh. It’s more annoying than anything. Not a bad excuse to chow down on ice cream and snow cones though, eh? Because otherwise I feel fine, hehe.
Is it me, or are there like whited out spots in your entries?
I see that sometimes, Richter. Must be a bug– dragging the mouse over the “whited out” spots should make the text show up.
Josh– wait, so whispering is bad for your voice, huh?
I know exactly what you are going thou….
It also humbled me and made me realize that I take a lot of things for granted…
I had my vocal chords permanently damaged by a breathing tube in case you were wondering…Sucked…

Studly, I didn’t know B4rb still read your site, good times.
Always amazing when a lurker surfaces– thanks for the support, b4rb… It’s amazing how many people actually can relate, though it looks like I don’t have much room to complain. 🙁
And yes, true that– I’ve never been so grateful for being able to communicate electronically.
yeah, whispering causes your vocal cords to dry and seperate. it just overworks them and can extend a period of laryngitis
