Day twenty-five -Roclincourt

This morning I slept in until around 10.30. When I woke up, my voice was still gone.. I couldn't even get a squeak out; all I could manage was a whisper. Francoise gave me warm milk with honey and some lemon, which was supposed to help my throat, but it didn't bring my voice back. It's funny, because I didn't do an excessive amount of talking or yelling, and my throat doesn't hurt when I swallow or anything--it's just the voice that's gone. I cough a little bit, but it doesn't hurt to cough at all. So strange. Anyway, Francoise and I had lunch, then I rested a little bit, and went online for awhile while she was at the townhall. Pierre came home from work at 3.30, and shortly after that, I went into Arras with Francoise to get some stuff from the office of tourism to send in a package to Veera's family. Then I went to Annick's house while my host mom accompanied Pierre to a retirement ceremony for two of his coworkers. Annick heard my voice and insisted on bringing me to her friend, Dr. J-P. I tried to protest, but alas, I ended up going.. J-P checked me over and told me I have laringitis (surprise...) and he prescribed a cough syrup, an inhaler, and an antibiotic since I'm flying out thursday and the elevation could cause me ear troubles or something like that.. i didn't fully understand, but it's more of a precaution than anything else i believe. Annick and I went to the pharmacy afterwards (the one in St. Laurent where the guy and the lady know my host mom and me and everyone that's come through her house lol) and I got the antibiotic and the cough syrup, but skipped the inhaler. lol. My voice has gotten a little better.. I can make noises and talk a little, but my voice cracks constantly, so I've been trying to rest it and stick to whispering as much as possible so by tomorrow it'll be all better :P After getting my meds, we went back to Annick's and Francoise and Pierre came to get me shortly after. We stopped by Simon and Claire's place on the way home, since I hadn't seen their new house yet, and then grabbed supper at McDonalds before coming back to Roclincourt. We at in front of the TV, and then I came up to bed. Hopefully my voice is back tomorrow!! I hate not being able to talk haha.

a demain
