Talk is cheap...

[chocolatepuppy]

Thanks you two! I think my voice may be working on coming back! Like I said, I can see the humor the first day, I wasn't too worried and I do have reputation for being a blabbermouth. But today it was getting old trying to 'talk' to someone and you can't talk and I was starting to worry. If it's not back tomorrow, I will be really worried!
And to top it off my floor leader put me on a job where I would have to do a lot of communicating.Of course everyone knew I couldn't talk but that didn't help when I needed to tell them something about a machine!

Whispering is suppose to make laryngitis worse so try to talk in a regular voice if you can. Hope you feel better.

Oh, dearie - I can top that. I once lost my voice just at the start of a one-week music camp. Where EVERYONE sings - try being the voiceless one then! It was misery (I love to sing, used to attempt to sing myself to sleep as a kid). I had to sit there and learn the parts while not being able to speak, never mind sing. Thanksfully, it came back by Thursday, and our performances where Friday and Saturday, but man, that was awful!

Ugh! I hate losing my voice, and I feel for you! I hope it comes back soon!!

On a side note, I have noticed two reactions when I lose my voice: either people talk louder than normal (like as if I can't hear or something) or else they whisper back to me. Just kind of funny

OH you poor thing what awfully rude remarks, my daughter is exactly in the same position right this min, she cant talk and her is so sick..I feel so sorry for her..I did say ..well you talk quiter..(blush)sorry I did that..HOpe your up and going really soon

It seems my voice is back, but not up to par yet. I don't work today so I'll try not to talk too much today. I feel bad for my furkids as they don't understand why I'm not talking to them all the time.
Thanks for the replies, and yes it was funny, people would whipser back at me or talk real loud to me! lol

OH Dear Yes! It has happened to me twice. Once when I worked as a switchboard . The people who knew me that called thought I had been fired and replaced with someone else!
Hope it comes back completely!
