I knew I was coming down with something, late Saturday night. My throat was just dry & no matter how much water I drank, I couldn’t seem to soothe it. As I went to bed, I hoped & prayed that I would just sleep it off & wake up feeling completely better. Instead, I woke up to the worst scratchy, dry, sore throat I’d ever had. I didn’t have much of a cough, but I think it was mostly due to post-nasal drip. I experience that a lot this time of year, with seasonal allergens floating around everywhere. But, it was never quite this bad… I had little to no voice & it even hurt to try to talk, so I spent the day resting & whispering, while Jeremy took care of me & the girls. I’ve been drinking tons of water, taking lozenges & even had Jeremy buy me some Tylenol Cough & Sore Throat medicine, which tastes just awful, if you’ve never tried it before… Yesterday, I started feeling a bit better, but I still didn’t have much of a voice. Today, the pain is gone & I seem to be coughing & getting rid of whatever it is, but my voice is only about halfway back… I hope & pray that I can get completely over it, soon & be back to full voice, so that I can at least be more help around here!
