I'm worried...

[sgorny]

... my voice is getting pretty quiet, as in... no one who calls can hear me on the phone. And the S.O. can only hear me if he is right there next to me, and half the time he asks "what?"

One of my greatest fears was that something would happen to my voice. Especially that I wouldn't be able to sing. And now I can barely talk, can't cough, have trouble swallowing, and can't clear my throat.

I know it's only two days after surgery, and I'm no where near recovered... but I'm scared. If my voice doesn't come back, I won't be able to work, I'm the main breadwinner, I have no disability insurance, and then what will happen to the house & us?

It is scary! At the same time, I'm sure there is a lot of swelling right now. Give it some time. People lose their voice temporarily after a tonillectomy. This sounded much more intense. Relax. I feel sure everything will come out okay.
