Most of you know all the voice issues I went through several years ago. From time to time of late I have had the almost laryngitis re-occur. But I pretty much know what to do and could manage it. I've had extra demands on my voice this last little while. But Friday morning I woke up feeling as if my throat had gotten very dry during the night. As I more fully awakened, my throat felt like it had a lump in it, somewhat the sensation like when you've had a bad cold and are dealing with a surplus of mucous. I can't say my throat was sore like a say throat gets. It was more like I had severely scratched the inside with something. When I swallowed I had to be careful when eating because the muscle felt weak and I didn't know if food was going to go down. I could give you more detail but I don't want to go on and on. Anyway, I had very little voice. I went to work and had to leave. I have an appointment with the voice doc on Tuesday. I'm debating if I should be seen before that however. I can't say there is much improvement today. I can talk if I'm careful and don't raise my voice. Prayers would be very much appreciated. Vicki & Yellow Lab Guide Elway
