I guess I shouldn't be surprised anymore. December is always the busiest time of the year. One Christmas party or get-together or event after another. And with me somehow being in the thick of things all the time, I tend to spread myself too thin. I wouldn't have it any other way though, and most of the time I just get tired and get easily get back on track with a good massage.
But somehow, I seemed to have stressed myself out a tad bit more than usual in the last month. I had a bad bout of tonsillitis about 3 1/2 weeks ago, and it kept me on antibiotics (and away from alcohol LOL) for 2 weeks. It cleared up about a week and a half ago, but then last weekend, I got up to find my throat hurting more than it did when my tonsillitis first broke.
So I head to my doctor and it turns out my tonsillitis has pretty much cleared up but now, I apparently have acute pharyngolaryngitis. The doctor told me to go on complete voice rest i.e. no talking even! I also have to stay away from caffeine, spicy and sweet food, alcohol, and even fruits and fruit juices. Which now means I have (1) barely talked the last 3 days, (2) drunk only water in the last two days, and (3) not eaten anything sweet also in the last two days.
So far, so good. My throat hurts much less today than yesterday, and it doesn't hurt to swallow anymore. Hopefully I get my voice back by Thursday. It's such a downer being unable to talk to people and have dessert and coffee. :)
