Day One

Well hello there friends!  Today, 9/30/10, I found out that I have a mature bump on my Right Vocal Fold... The doctor has placed me on total vocal rest for a week.  No singing.  No talking.  No nothing.  Wow... this is probably the biggest challenge I have ever had in my life... 

I'm trying to stay positive about the who situation and am looking at it as a personal experiment.  I guess I now know what Ariel feels like in The Little Mermaid... luckily I already have my amazing man who is not afraid to kiss me... lol

But I digress.  My hope is to try and blog at least once if not a couple times a day with little discoveries I have made or advancements in my life. 

So far I have discovered that it is much easier to type my words than try and write them in a notebook or on a whiteboard.  But I also don't want to carry my laptop around with me all the time... its heavy and has a sucky battery life... Oh well... I will figure something out...

Question I have so far? Why is my throat a little soar when I literally haven't spoken since 2 pm.  And I've been drinking water like its... well, water... lol

Thank god I have professors who are totally understanding, because classes and rehearsal could be really complicated if I didn't...

Well I think that's a good first post... Make sure you check back and see whats going on in the life of the Gay Mute!
