Ok, so yesterday Doc Mohan at crescent internal medecine tells me: “No talking for 3 Days! not even a whisper! your voicebox is ALL inflamed and you may need steroids!” . I whisper “O. ..” but I am cut off as she commands: “NOT EVEN a WHISPER!”. I have been trying to see the deeper lessons in this no talking thing. I am quiet all the time, so I am very aware of what is I am trying to communicate, because then I have to write it to people. I posted about that yesterday. Thats been pretty cool. Other things I’ve learned:
- I sing to music without really thinking about it, I have to keep remembering not to!
- I thank people without thinking about it, so I am trying to stop, and I give people these funny, big eye looks and wave really fast
- I am confusing having thought something with having said it.
That last one is the weird one. I am so IN MY HEAD right now, that it feels like I am talking when I IM, e-mail etc.. only when I am out in public is it painfully obvious that I have no voice. I am the worlds worst mime and suck at charades, no one knows wtf my hand waving means.. O well… only one more day.
Whispering is worse than speaking according to all of the vocal coaches I’ve been to. Inflammation can be dealt with naturally besides steroids. Dr. Wong’s Zymessence is awesome for any type of inflammation.
