Oh No!

I can usually continue working through most things, especially now that I see so many of my clients online. Losing my voice completely, however, is not one of them…

I woke up on Sunday morning barely able to make a sound and by Monday morning my voice was gone completely. It’s like someone stole my voice box overnight, and I’m very unhappy about it!

Although I absolutely value quiet time and not speaking constantly, not being able to speak at all (suddenly, without warning, out of the blue) has really thrown me this week and I’m feeling pretty miserable.

I suppose I’m writing this post as a way of attempting some sort of communication because I’m feeling so stifled and frustrated. I would hope that with time I will have some valuable insights and find some positive in this (I mean it’s hardly the end of the world, I do realise that!) but right now I’m feeling the loss and missing my voice.

Im missing being able to connect with the people around me by talking and being part of a conversation. Im missing being able to see my clients. Im missing being able to make little quips and letting the people around me know how funny I am (hilarious don’t you know!)

Also did you know it’s not possible to make a doctors appointment without speaking to someone? How crazy is that? I have been told to wait until I feel better and to call them then…

And if I don’t end up finding a silver lining or some important lessons in all this I’ll probably just delete this post and we can all forget about it!

In the meantime, I’ll be here moping about very quietly. If you have any brilliant remedies that will encourage my voice to return I would so appreciate them – Im trying everything I can think of but still have no voice!
