Man, what did we do before email, blogging, twitter, and many more when we couldn't talk?
I have no idea what happened, but yesterday evening, my voice was going a little hoarse, and I woke up this morning with absolutely no voice. I could whisper, but apparently those are different muscles.
However, email to the rescue!!! I was able to get so much accomplished today just because of the ability of email and other online avenues to talk with people.
How amazing is that?
Back in the day, like just 10 years ago, if you couldn't talk, good luck trying to get anything done if you needed to "talk" with someone.
Man, my throat is killing me from the talking I did try to do today, but my daughter doesn't know enough sign language to communicate in all signs.
I hope my voice is back tomorrow as there is so much more I need to do that can't be done via email, like YELL at people!!
Hi Donna. Hope you can talk soon. Can you help a new guy out with a survey please? Thanks.

Donna-hope you feel better and I marvel about it often! Let the yelling wait a day...you need to get well soon! :)
I'll bet once your voice clears up your fingers will be hurting from overuse. You're right -- what on earth did we do before? Oh, yeah -- we took the day off! What a novel idea!
Get better soon.
ReelProp, Thank you. And sorry, but I can't be any help to you on your survey as I do my tours for way less than what your survey allows.
Midori, Thanks, but sometimes, a girl's just gotta yell!
Patsy, Took a day off? How does that work?
Sometimes its nice to work from home on a "sick-day"..very productive!
Good that you had a bad throat but still is able to be productive. There are days I dont feel 100%, I just cant be on top of my game.
careful Donna. You may wake up tomorrow with no voice and sore fingers. Then you'll have to resort to either your toes or mental telepathy.
Donna - Thank god for email. I hope you feel much better tomorrow.
Hot tea with lemon, Donna. I hope you feel well, too. But, it's nice that you can still get stuff accomplished without having to worry about vocally communicating, right?
L&L, Thanks!
Marc, I always work from him, so same 'ol same 'ol here... but the couch does call for me a little louder...
Loreena, But with email, no one knows when you're not 100%!
Greg, My toes have been warming up, and the psychic powers are only in my dreams...
Robert, No joke! And thanks!
Heather, Yeah, I drank some Green Tea with honey and lemon, but the gargling of the wam salt water is the only thing that has made any difference.
I know this sounds wierd, but I LOVE it when I lose my voice. My husband thinks the raspiness is pretty sexy. Crazy, right?
Your comment on Twitter makes sense now. LOL I thought you had a cold or something and thats why you lost your voice. I hope it comes back. For me, although emails does work, I like to talk to certain people because I know they will be confused with my email.
A voice is nothing to play with! take care of it! and dont go to chucky cheese again
Take care of those chords. You will fine and yelling at folks in no time.
Be careful! That's what happened to me in February. I ended up in day surgery getting my tonsils out. Ouch!
Kim, I used to like it when I lost my voice, like after a high school football game. It showed I really cheered. The "sexy" comment reminded me of the Friends episode when Pheobe went hoarse.
John, True, some people don't understand how emails are written.
Jesse, I'll stay away!
Terry, I sure hope so!
Lorrie, I'm hearing more and more about people removing their tonsils to help with their allergies. I might look into it!
My tonsillectomy wasn't for allergies. I had a huge abscess. That was more painful than the surgery and the recovery.
Donna - I do hope your voice is back by now or at least somewhat. I remember growing up not even have a house phone - times sure have changed.
Donna - eat a lemon, skin and all
Lorrie, Sorry to hear that. Glad you're doing better.
Petra, It's somewhat back, but it came back with a vengence of other "crud".
Greg, Skin of the lemon? Why? Can it be a lemon zest like in a pasta sauce?
Donna,
I hope your voice is better soon. Sometimes it can take a while for it to come back.
Ann
Donna, thank goodness email saved you. Think if you had to do that all over the phone or in person. Hope the voice gets rested up soon for you.
Ann, It's getting there. I still sound a little hoarse, but a million times better.
Gary, It did get some rest. Grandma took Alyssa a couple of times so I didn't have to talk to her so it could rest some more... now, if I could get rid of the cough my voice came back with.
