I am a singer, I sing a lot. I am in several different choirs, help out whenever needed, sing some duets/cantors, etc. I also used to play guitar and recorder while singing sometimes, I've never actually played the piano or flute for something like concert/church/etc but I love to play and I'm so glad that I can at least still play the piano, though it's hard not to sing as I play. When I immobilized my finger I was so sad because I couldn't play my piano for a long time.

Anyways back to the main topic :) I got sick on Saturday, I had the worst soar, scratchy throat ever! It felt like my throat was bleeding! I had never had such a terrible, soar throat! I couldn't eat, drink, or swallow because burned and hurt sooo much when I did. Actually it even hurt to breathe, boy, did it hurt.

I was supposed to sing with a choir on Sunday but couldn't because I had no voice and still had an awful, soar throat, I could barely talk, no way I could sing loudly through a whole church, no way I could even talk through a whole church, even if I had a microphone. My soar throat felt a tiny bit better Sunday but still hurt a lot and I still could barely talk, and it still hurt to swallow.

Today is Monday, the soar throat itself feels better (still hurts a little but much better than it did) but I still have no voice, now my voice isn't cracky like it was it's just not there. You know how if you sing or yell a lot and eventually you actually "lose" your voice for a little bit? That's how I feel now.

I have to sing on Wednesday (no one else can) and I'm worried that I won't have my voice back by then.

So how long do you think until I get my full, complete voice back? Until I can sing again (I miss it already)? I have to sing this Wednesday, will I have it back by then? I'm very worried :-
