Your Exam Shows You Have Laryngitis

Our dinner didn't turn out to be much of a date.
As soon as my partner "heard" me
try to speak, he convinced me to go to Urgent Care.

I agreed because I felt pressure in my ears.

My doctor, obviously from Ghana
because he spoke with the same accent as my 151 student,
found it extremely amusing that I had lost my voice.

My nurse asked if I had lost it--
yelling at "him." Har Har.


So, my partner is out now filling my scripts,
and for the first time, I feel a little woozy and scared . . .
He's rather cold to me
and refuses to touch me.
Irrevocable damage, no doubt.

Meanwhile, this weekend?
Doctor's orders:
"Treatment is mainly voice rest. Talk as little as possible (this includes whispering). Use written notes to communicateuntil your voice is back to normal."

So, right when we need to talk the most,
I physically can't.
