My voice was hoarse since March 23rd. The day after the Island Cove adventure with Mhark, Ato and Vee. I decided to have a check-up only last Tuesday. And the doctors noticed a lump on my neck. Now, that needs a lot of diagnostics first before we can be sure what it is. And I'm getting nervous. I really hated doctor's appointments. You'll never know what might be wrong with your body and it kinda scares me.
Anyways, back to how my voice got hoarse. When we were at the pool, I was able to gulp a lot of pool water (imagine the amount of urine I drank!?!) during the slide experience. You know how chlorine and urine can become corrosive to your throat. The next day, I got a sore throat and a mild fever. I didn't bother to self-medicate. I thought household remedies could do the tricks.
The following week had been stressful at work. There were so many students and we lacked teachers. So we had no break time and we had to open a lot more classrooms! So I was talking 9 straight hours with unruly students who keep messing up with the screen and writing Korean characters... Aaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!
But I didn't want to take a leave because I know how it would affect the others teachers if I didn't report for work. There were times when my voice would get better and work was not that stressful. But when I'm close to healing, there goes another classroom crisis again! Oh, no!
And so, I had to have a voice rest for 3-5days. I'm on my 7th day and my voice is getting better. Tomorrow is another battle to face. I hope we have less stressful classes this time. Please! Just for one more week so that I can have my voice back!
