Dare anyone to go an entire day without talkng... not a sound. It really is impossible. I went for a walk today, thinking it was a great way to rest my voice and even the occasional people walking past required a response. I few times I was able to nod politley, but sometimes I found myself saying "good morning". It is an impulse that I seem unable to resist.
We went to a big neighborhood party tonight and I tried to just be silent and nod, really difficult. Except that when I did try and participate in the conversation, I found that no one could really hear me or they pretended to know what I was saying. In one of the brochures that I was reading, there was an article about voice therapy following radiation. Apparently I am in for times of isolation and anti social behavior due to my lost voice. The article urges voice therapy to strenghten my throat and learn how to project better. Funny, I have been such a lound mouth all my life... I never thought I would have a problem with not being heard.
