where did my voice go?!?
So I started losing my voice on friday morning. And I don't mean just kind of started losing my voice, more like it took a holiday and went to the other side of the planet. I seriously couldn't say anything audible over a decible. I was trying to get directions to where I needed to go in san diego for tim and leona's wedding from peter, but he couldn't hear a word I was saying. eventually he got the idea and started asking me questions and I would push a button once for 'yes' and twice for 'no'. I didn't feel too bad physically, I still had energy (for the most part) but I just couldn't talk to save my life.
It was actually a pretty humbling experience. A lot of people wouldn't kind of baby talk me (I don't know if they thought I was slow in the head, but that always gets pretty annoying pretty quick, and communication is was just easier for me if I didn't try too much). It really took a lot of energy to get any thoughts across. I was actually kind of enjoying the experience in a way. I was completely vunerable in a sense. Other times I would just give up completely and not even try at all. I think we all probably need to take the time and be forced to listen sometimes. I realized I probably talk more than I thought I did. And it was something I defintely took for granted. But the time you spend with people is important and communication is extremely important as well!!!!
