UGH. The past few days have been miserable. On Thursday I got what I assumed was a canker sore on my tongue. I get them a lot, and while they are annoying, the generally go away pretty quick. Since then it seriously hurt to talk at all because you know how your teeth and tongue are essentially tied together for talking… it that has pretty much silenced me for the past two days. Someone looked at it today and said it looked like Thrush. Which I promptly looked up on the Google and found it does look like what I have. The cure: gargle with salt water, gargle with hydrogen peroxide, eat yogurt with acidophilus and it will pass. So we will see what tomorrow brings. It will be interesting not chatting much at church! I do lots of thumbs up and mmmmhmmming.
Today was funny because I was driving with Robert and he was asking me all these questions and I was just making gestures and he was guessing what I was saying. It was actually a funny little communication experiment. If you lost the use of your voice, would people still be able to understand you through gestures and throat sounds?
I suppose in all of this there is a lesson to be learned somewhere. Lord, I speak life and healing over myself tonight!
