This is the first time in my life that I have ever lost my voice. And lemme tell ya buddy, it is a very, very strange feeling indeed. I can feel it sitting there just waiting to be released from it's dark hiding place, but I just can't seem to find the key that unlocks the door.

Here is how the story goes.
My throat started hurting on Sunday, but I just figured I had snored really hard the night before and paid it no mind. Then yesterday, not only did my throat hurt but I sounded like one Miss Kathlene Turner. Unfortunately, I am not joking - I was told this by no fewer than THREE people. So I figure that I must have really sounded like her. Honestly it made me want to quote lines from "Romancing the Stone" or "Serial Mom." Anyway, last night I had a few dizzy spells and ended up going to bed at 9 pm after a 3 hour afternoon nap - oh that's the other thing, I can't seem to get enough sleep. So this morning I wake up at 4:30 AM and realize that not only can I not swallow without an EXCRUTIATING amount of pain, but I have now almost entirely lost my voice.

Good thing I have this diary to keep my thoughts in order, because it is FREAKING KILLING ME to not be able to talk.

Miming to the doctor,
Squeeky
