Day 55 Close Talker

So in my past life I had been accused of being a soft talker.. this was mostly when I was on the phone with someone and I would make quiet remarks or wouldn't speak up. Perhaps it is because at times I have been very aware of my hoarse voice and feeling like I have always been the loudest one in the room.
Recently though I have become a close talker, and this is more because I am whispering so much. I feel like everyone can hear me when I whisper and it is funny that sometimes people have been responding, "yes" "ok" "call me".. when they have no idea what I have said. Perhaps it is like being on the airplane with Michelle and my friends are tired of having to ask me to repeat - thus I turn to close talking.
I am definitely doing this with the kids. At Josh's soccer practice on Wednesday when I was letting him know that I was leaving to pick up Teddy, I had to walk through the practice and whisper in his ear because my voice was so tired. Funny, that the kids don't think that it is weird anymore.
Another funny thing is how many people whisper back to me. I can have entire whispered conversation with someone, with them whispering right along with me and then at the end they wonder.."why am I whispering".
I also wonder about my froggy voice. It seems that I have had a hoarse and froggy voice my entire life. So, does this have anything to do with getting cancer? The Dr.s still can't seem to figure out why I have it. So, was my froggy voice the cancer cells effecting my vocal chords? Will I have a froggy voice when I am cured?
