Sore throat and voice loss

Nothing much going on right now. I have had a sore throat since Monday but it barely hurts today. Thank goodness because I really didn't want to go to the doctor to have them tell me something I already knew! I started to lose my voice on Wednesday night. It sure was interesting trying to talk to physicians and nurses on the phone yesterday. I even had one nurse say that he was going to put me on speakerphone so everyone could listen to me, too. I guess he is easily amused. But, I can't blame him since I can manage to squeak out a high pitched whisper that sounds as if I have been smoking for 40 years.
