Living In Silence

Back in May I was in an accident and lost my voice. So now basically I'm waiting 6 months (as per my out of court settlement) until a voice repairing operation. And so now, in July, I have gone almost two full months with no voice. Four months left until I can talk again, I'm not even sure how I will sound, but I honestly can't wait. It has been so hard not being able to communicate with anyone. I've been to a few voice therapy classes over the last two months, and they are starting to show a little progress. I can speak a *little* but it's light whispery sound that isn't very attractive and is somewhat hard to here.

I can't discuss major details of what or where it happened (as per the settlement) But if you knew where I worked before, thats where! BUT to put it simply I was hit in the neck, quite hard, and somehow developed what is called Vocal Cord Paralysis when one of the vocal cords stops working. It's kinda weird, at least I had never heard of it before, but it is treatable so It's not the worst thing in the world I guess.

So what have I been doing? Well, I settled out of court for a reasonable amount. SO I've basically been doing nothing for eight weeks. I jog a lot. I also do pull ups. I'm also trying to write some things, maybe a book, but I can't really think of anything. I've read a few books, and surfed the web. I havent drawn anything since a few weeks before my accident when I essentially left home for good.

Maybe I'll get my voice back before they set a date for an operation - at least I hope so. If you are reading this and you can speak, be sure to USE your voice!! Because I was always kinda quiet, but now I can't speak at all. How ironic. You never appreciate what you have until you've lost it.

SOOoo, that's what I'm doing and where I've been. Got any ideas for a book to write? I'm kinda bored!
