Well, this is my last day of total silence. It has been a learning experience, frustrating, and revealing at the same time. It's been a blessing, in that no one could hear my accent and therefore did not treat me poorly because I'm American; and a curse, because I have only been able to chat with friends via the Internet or writing on a notepad.
Tomorrow I'll be able to speak in low tones, but will still need to alternate with the notepad. I won't be able to teach or speak louder than a 'confidential' voice until the end of June, after which I am hoping to offer a class. I hope that my voice returns even better than it used to be; I miss singing very much.
I have my next checkup on the third. Hopefully I will know more by then.
The dissertation is at 12,000 words, and I am somewhat thankful for these weeks of enforced silence enabling me to finish my last task before I leave Scotland.
