silence is golden...

I am on day 5 and a half of no talking!! If you didn't believe in miracles, I promise you...this is one!!! I still have until Wednesday to go!! Hopefully when I go to my post op appointment on Wednesday the doc will give me the thumbs up to talk again. He did tell me my voice was going to get worse before it gets better but i don't care. I do have to say that having to be silent for so many days couldn't have come in a better era! If I had to do this 10 years ago it would be so much harder. I have been using my text-to-speak app on my ipad a lot! It's great! I just type what I want to say and then the little British lady living in the ipad says what i just typed. I have also been texting and using facebook a lot so really it isn't that bad. Even Noah has picked up on my hand gestures and is pretty good at the guessing game. It's actually been really great having to curl up on the couch with Noah and just hang out and watch a movie. We played Uno last night and somehow I lost on a technicality that i couldn't actually say the word "uno"..hmmmm. I even ordered food from Chick fil a!! The only thing that is kind of weird is if i am out and about and someone says a friendly hi or asks me a question in the grocery store, I can't answer and I look like a weirdo just standing there with a smile. Oh well!! I'm almost done! Only a few more days to go!!
