Do you hear what I hear...? MY VOICE!

After 7 years and 8 month I had a stint of about 15 minutes last night of "Normal voice."

I wanted to titled this "My Voice has returned!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" but I didn't want to jinx my voice or get ahead of myself, but for a span of about 15 minutes last night laying in bed before Brett and I went to sleep, my voice was coming through LOUD and CLEAR!

It seems the less I try to force a voice, the better off it is sounding. It sounded like I just had a plugged nose or was just getting over being sick. Now with that said, some of you might say, that's how you always sound - Brett did - but this was more clear than my voice has ever been since my car accident happened 7 years ago!

As we were laying in bed, I started singing Christmas carols! Frosty The Snowman and Jingle Bells and while it wasn't loud first, it got loud and Brett - trying to fall asleep - got annoyed. To his defense, he was sweet about it and exhausted from a long day at work. He was so sweet, when I asked him how good it sounded - he said, you always sound like that to me. To clarify, I didn't always sound THAT GOOD! I was so excited, I could barely contain myself - 7 years!! To finally hear the sound of some of my words was really too good to be true. I had a hard time believing what I was hearing and I let myself only get excited for a few minutes - I felt like calling everyone I knew at 11pm. I did call my Dad and left him a message so he could hear!

I'm hesitant to even post this blog - I don't want to jinx my voice but I think it might be safe to say that the surgery is being to show and I hope signs of marked improvement continue to come! YAY!
