is anybody out there?
Wow. I feel so alone. It's not enough that I'm bedridden and barely able to reach out, but when I have it's not even noticed. bizarre. I guess out of sight out of mind. serious blog drought.
Fever is still at 102 today, and my larynx is in such horrible shape that I can't cough anything up for the pain. I'm convinced it's now clogged and infected, and won't resolve itself. Matt just left to get antibiotics, so I pray that helps.
at least this isn't a sustainable situation. it either goes away or I die.

hi. i'm here. i'm sad you're still sick. i love you. in long landmark course this weekend...
hi becca!
i'm here too. don't get on to check your blog every day, but i've been checking it more or less every week for a long time now. don' t usually have time to respond, but just know i'm here, enjoying all your stories. i REALLY enjoyed the one from awhile about nikokai's frustration at the interactive tv shows. my kids never even tried to answer. i have NO idea what goes through their mind during the silent moments...
hope you feel better soon. if it makes you feel any better, i haven't had any voice for two months now, especially the last two weeks, when i got some throat thing which has conveniently worsened my chronic laryngitis. i suppose it's a work hazzard in my line of work, and the constant choir rehearsals getting ready for naw ruz didn't help much either. i'm beginning to wonder if i'll ever have a voice again. sure am tired of sounding 98.
i love you.
steph
well, it's reassuring to hear some word from my sisters. whew.
steph - I hear ya about the voice. or maybe i don't...
I don't exactly know how close I came to death this time, but I'm telling you it felt prett close. I was sure I was dying when I sent matt out for antibiotics last night. for about three days my throat has been slowly constricting more and more, and I've been unable to bend my head or swallow because of the swelling in my throat. about 8 hours after taking the antibiotic it was like a miracle happened. I could actually begin to cough all the congealed and old infected stuff out of my larynx. if I hadn't gotten the antibiotics I would have died, I'm sure. probably would have been a couple of days of pure misery first, but at least we live in a very lucky age. that, and I insisted the doctor give me antibiotics even though he insisted I did not need them (mind you he did not even once look in my mouth or feel my throat).
so, I'm alive. whew
We're alive..Personally I've been checking with your mom and I've sent an email on Friday. Of course I can't remember your home email so I sent it to your work one..which I am sure it's the last thing you want to look at. course..it's work related so that I am sure isn't helpful. :)
I also sync up your blog to my pilot and I read it there which means I also don't posted that way either. :) Helpful, huh? :D
Time to kick this illness already! We all miss you and want to see you again. After this you better start taking extra C or airborn or what ever to keep sickies away from you!
Oh and just so you know, you are not allowed to die. Keep that in mind next time to help fight it off.
Oh and have you read The Stand by Stephen King? If so, surprised you didn't freak out more, if not, well... don't read it right now ;)
you guys rock. thanks for responding :)
are you still alive?
is anyone in there? No new post yet?
I'm back.
