Speechless!

by Arnica @ 2007-12-29 – 09:23:14

Yes - I've lost my voice! My darling Grandson shared his Xmas germs with me and I'm now suffering with Laryngitis!

"Great" some would say - "a bit of peace and quiet" but considering the Pantomime opens on Thursday the timing couldn't be much worse. "Oh no it couldn't"

As well as being literally speechless I was amazed to find that I've managed to get a doctor's appointment at midday today (yes on a Saturday!) - my daughter phoned the surgery just after 9.30am. This took two attempts as I gave her the telephone number for the local radio station by mistake!

Hopefully I'll get started on some antibiotics later today. Unfortunately the chemists all close between 12 and 2 so it'll mean another trip out into the damp air. Never mind at least I didn't have to wait until Monday.

Ah well - no New Year's celebrations for me then!

I hope my blogfriends are all well and had a lovely Christmas? Roll on 2008!

Call in the under-study and take yourself to bed with a large bottle of Remy Martin.... want me to come and rub your chest?

  What a good idea apart from one small problem - we don't have an under-study! The rest of your suggestion sounds fine!

      Very amateurish I might just have to mime along to the prompt!

        Still humming and ah-ing. We aren't due to start until 3pm so I'll decide at the last minute. We are in the theatre for the first time so it's quite crucial. Although my voice is returning I don't intend saying my lines - I'll just go through the movements etc.
        
        A couple more days on the anti-inflamitory tablets will hopefully sort me out.

        Very wise... get the prompt to read your lines and just go through the motions.

How hilarious for you to enjoy the art of miming. Think of how much fun you will get playing out all the actions. I'm just giggling at what I would have to do - Yikes!!!

Sending healing energy to your voice and throat!!!

  Thanks - Doctor says it's a viral infection so I don't need antibiotics. Got some pain killers, medicine and an inhaler. Here's hoping!
  
  I hope you get well soon too!

Now this virus won't affect your fingers will it? So long as you have your fingers you can communicate with us!

Hope you feel well soon and enjoy the New Year celebrations - we will make you a festive mask for next year a la Michael Jackson

  Thanks pal - can I have a sequined mask like they wear at the Venice ball?
  
  Hey - just heard, my photo came joint 3rd in CJ's photo competition. It's a picture of my Grandchildren:

    Loud round of applause. Aah what a lovely photo - I hope it isn't quite as "Lord of the Flies" as it looks! How could such darlings ever harbour germs that cause loss of voice! I don't believe it

      I'm rather pleased with the photo - they were just following me out of a forest and I simply turned round and snapped them! It was quite spontaneous.

So sorry to read about you losing your voice arnica, and I do hope that all is O K by curtain up.

You could write your lines on big bits of paper then walk to the centre stage and hold them up for all to read, with a translation in French.

  Thanks Trevor - went to rehearsals today and I did the movements whilst the MD did my lines. That's it until dress rehearsal on Wednesday afteroon by which time I should have my voice back (fingers crossed).
