Silent Mouth, Screaming Thoughts

I haven't really posted anything recent yet for december that's worth reading. I guess I have been too busy fixing things in my life. My so called-illness is back..yes, I have laryngitis again..and this is probably due to my stubborn streak. After gaining back my voice last May, I continued to indulge myself in the many things that the doctor told me not to do like smoking, drinking, eating spicy foods, chocolates, pizza, pasta, in short...anything good just to avoid getting sick again.

Today, I woke up with hardly any voice at all and my throat was hurting so bad I really think it's bleeding inside. Coughing felt like someone with long nails was scratching it. I have to conserve the only voice left in order to avoid getting into surgery to get out the nodes. (At least that was what the doc told me)

The only times I have been sick was now and during that time in March when I lost my voice. Twice in a year and my body takes it out on my throat and vocal chords. What a way to punish me for sleeping so late and working so hard. In a way, my body is secretly telling me that I am stressed and overworked..I am.

I'm taking a break from everything...except for writing..this is my only voice for now until my vocal chords are healed.
