susandennisNot the TV show... my own voice. For the past year and a half, I've had a voice that sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. It started after a bout of pneumonia which also coincided with my taking a bunch o' COPD drugs.
Sometimes it's just horse. Sometimes it's just weak. Sometimes it's fine and sometimes it's just not there at all. Sometimes I know when I open my mouth to say something it's going to be a wasted effort. Sometimes I think all is fine and my mouth moves but no sound comes out.
I've been trying to track in hopes of capitalizing on circumstances that make it better or times of day or activities or something.
It's not huge but it is kind of embarrassing sometimes.
So far, I have come up with squat. I read on one of the COPD forums this morning that my experience is not even usual. Oh well, glad to know I'm not special!

Swim was good and fun. The Japanese couple who are always there on Monday morning were there today. At one point we ended up at the end of the pool together and he asked "what do you call you?" I told him my name was Susan. He is something that sounds like Yuli and she is something that sounds like Vin. We've been meetings on Monday mornings for months and months now, it will be fun to now say hi by name.

The bank came back on line and my deposit wasn't there. So, whew, I don't have to find something new to fret over!!
