Lesson learned

Ok....so, while Harry was here I didn't get much sleep because we'd go out really late and as usual, I wake up early no matter how late I sleep.  So....I think it really caught up with me. The last night he was here we had a great time watching Eugene and Jun at Backstage...unfortunately, I think I was yelling a little too much....and well...completely exhausted myself since I was also in the middle of rehearsing for Musical Moments.  So...last Monday I started to feel the burn of the weekend...started off as a little discomfort in my throat and a slight fever.....then as the week progressed...I tried my best not to go to the doctor because I just don't like to take antibiotics....I attempted to get better by sleeping 11 hrs.....and it helped at first.....rehearsals were fine...my voice was fine....then, on Thurs night we decdied to go to Blue Bar after rehearsal to watch Howard perform.  And, of course, we are always invited up to sing at the Blue Bar....by the end of the night...I felt my voice starting to give up on me.  The next morning (Fri) my voice was gone...I still had some low notes..but, no matter how hard I tried to sing them high notes....there was no sound coming out!!!  By Sat, I was drinking lots of lemon water, started taking vitamin C and zinc....AND started drinking herbal teas.  When I went into rehearsal on Sat....my fellow cast memers convinced me to finally go and see a doctor...so, I ended up leaving rehearsal early to go.  Now, I'm on antibiotics...and I'm feeling drowsy...I hate the feeling...this better work!!!  Now, I'm avoiding talking and hopefully by Wed, I'll have enough voice to sing my solo!!!!  Please pray for me!!!!
