Good morning Blendfriends,

Sorry I have been absent, but I was really really sick. I am still not 100% but at least I do not feel like death. I am starting to get my voice back. I am super disappointed with the healthcare I received. This all could have been cleared up sooner if only I was given the medication I needed sooner. Last Monday when I went to the doctor again to get a sick note I felt so awful. I had not slept in days as I was scared to choke on my own phlegm. My husband was there and made her actually check me. My lungs were clear, which I suspected, but it was all in my throat. Imagine feeling like your trachea was as skinny as a spaghetti noodle. When I finally got the prescription I needed I had to get my husband to physically help me walk in and out of the pharmacy because I could not breathe enough to walk. I have had laryngitis before but never like this. I also strained a rib muscle coughing so moving around has been difficult.

I missed my language test which also caused a lot of administrative problems and a lot of additional fees. It is now rescheduled for November 2.

I guess recovery will take quite a while from this but I am hoping by the end of the month I am feeling more like myself. I am trying to be patient with myself but it is very hard.

Not a very motivating post but I am feeling not very motivated.

I hope everyone is doing much better than I am. I will check in later.
