Laryngitis

So, I had hacking and sneezing and an upper respiratory infection in mid-December.  I expected it to turn into laryngitis, and true to form, about 10 days later, it did.  I did not have fever with the initial infection, but Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, I had fever and weakness.  I worked for a couple of days, but by that Friday, I was exhausted from trying to breathe and talk, and had no voice.  So I took that day off, and it was otherwise a three day weekend because of the New Years Day holiday.  So, the four day weekend helped. I worked the next 4 days, except I had plumbing problems, so worked a short Friday the first Friday of January.  I also worked this past week.  Each day, my voice is getting  stronger. My multiple past experiences with laryngitis is that the best way to recover is minimize using my voice.  But, I cannot do that and work, and since I otherwise did not feel sick, I worked. I am still getting better.
