Quiet time

So

I've been sick.

I have asthma - have had it all my life
and it's well controlled

until

allergies kick in
and

then I can be brought down pretty fast

so I have bronchitis

and now

I'm on the mend

but I've lost my voice

completely

as in

not a peep
not a squeak

silence

I talk for a living so this is difficult for me

and because of that I had to talk a lot today with a scratchy voice

and pretty much brought this on myself

I've been to the doctor and got FIVE prescriptions

yes

Five

Antibiotic
Inhaler
Asthma/Allergy control
Cough syrup
Steroids

and

silence

on the bright side

I am feeling much much better -- which is typical
I get the asthma and the allergies under control

and the laryngitis is what remains

so I get all the sympathy
after I actually don't feel that bad.

and

you may have noticed I'm being quiet about some other things too

well

I'll talk about other things when I'm ready to

which is most likely about the same time I'll get my voice back.
