Cause you all want to hear about my plague, I'm sure

[erilyn]

I'm now under doctor's orders not to talk for the next couple of days, not even whispering, unless absolutely necessary. If I keep talking, I too could have nodules.

Yeah, those who've met me and know how much I talk, feel free to laugh your asses off right about now, my sister already has. Makes showing holiday photos to the family an exercise in frustration and note writing.

Let's see, it's now about 3am Tuesday morning in Chicago? Saturday night, I got about two and half hours sleep. Sunday night aka on the flights home (and I was wrong about the time from LA to Sydney, it's over 14 hours going this way), I got a couple of hours, but no more than 3 to 4 I think. So since waking Saturday morning (at least I got quite a bit of sleep Friday night), I've had 5 to 6 hours sleep. That I'm able to type at the moment actually amazes me, but I'm fading fast.

No matter if you usually talk a lot or not, not being allowed to talk when you want to sucks!!!! *hugs*

I've never lost my voice like this before, it's certainly a learning experience!

So no m&m's or coke for you...

I hope you're catching up on sleep, I don't know how you're even functioning.

I got about 10 hours last night, I was so tired but had problems getting to sleep. I hope to stay awake during today and get another long nights sleep tonight. I don't know how I was functioning either, but luckily I didn't have to drive anywhere.

Aww, I'm sorry to hear that - hopefully you'll get better fast. *hugs*

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

Thanks, I'm supposed to go to class today and tomorrow, not sure if I'm gonna make it, or be well enough to catch up with friends this weekend :(

OMG YOU'RE GONNA DIE! NODULES OF DEATH! PLAGUE NODULES!

The idea of you not talking is breaking my tiny brain.

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

It's fucking hard not to talk. Or try to answer the phone.

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Man, I hope you're fast asleep soon, and are able to talk soon too. That sucks.

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

10 hours sleep that night, and 9 hours last night. I'm gradually catching up. No talking until at least tomorrow, and I've got another doctor's appointment then, so he can check my ears.

Good grief woman!! We missed you, we really did, but if you can't visit the States and return healthy... EEEEEE

Feel better soon.

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I was fine for the entire trip, until the last three days.

[indybrat.livejournal.com]

Welcome home Hon! feel better soon.

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

I hope I do, I'm so over this :)

[divafits.livejournal.com]

I think I would spend the next few days asleep. Unless you talk in your sleep that solves both of your problems.
I hope you feel better soon.

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

Supposed to get to class this afternoon and tomorrow. Not sure if that's gonna happen, but I have had some good sleep :)

[kittykatz.livejournal.com]

Get well soon. *hugs*

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

Thanks, it's very frustrating, I've got so much I want and need to get done :)

[nannerz2cool.livejournal.com]

Listen to your doctor and rock the Post-It Notes, sweetie! :) And feel better soon!

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

I'm doing my best, I start to talk sometimes just out of habit :)

[marrymehowie.livejournal.com]

Holy crap. I didn't think it was that bad. Feel better *hugs*

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

I think he's just being cautious, apparently if you keep straining your voice when it's gone, it can lead to nodules that can take months to go away.

It was funny, I could still kinda talk when I was there, but sometime during travelling, when I hardly spoke to anyone, my voice decided it was time for it to have a vacation *g*.

[turlough]

Being forbidden to talk must suck. I really hope you can manage to sleep through much of that ordeal. Take care of yourself and get better soon.

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

I've never completely lost my voice before, it's so weird!

[olivejz28.livejournal.com]

Girl, I think I must've caught something from you, because I've been icky since yesterday. :( It sucks you can't talk though, and I hope you feel better soon.

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

Ack, that's what I was afraid of! Though I always find I come away from some sort of weekend away like that sick, I don't know if I've been patient zero before.

[canadiankracka.livejournal.com]

I miss you!!!!!

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

I miss you too! Serioualy, I was almost crying on my way to the airport, I didn't want to leave.

[canadiankracka.livejournal.com]

You need to IM me (ZippedAngelLips). Coz OMGIMISSYOUSOMUCH!!!

[ohevet-likro.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you had a good time in the States, but am sorry that you came down with the plague. At least it was at the end of your trip and not the beginning, right?

Feel better soon!

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

Better at the end and when I get home indeed! And I can't really say I missed out on much cause of it :)

[masheek2.livejournal.com]

It was so great meeting you and spending time with you! Glad you made it home!

I would probably sleep for days if I were you lol

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

I've had two good nights of sleep now, so I'm starting to feel marginally more human. It was hard to get to sleep the first night, I was beyond tired. And it was great meeting you too! :)
