Cough Cough Hack Hack
You remember how I lost my voice? (Read below). Well turns out, it was bronchitis. Let me tell you: I do not recommend this bronchitis business. I coughed so violently that I actually gave myself an asthma attack where my chest just seized up and then I started panicking like OH MY GOD I AM NOT BREATHING HURRY UP BREATHE! And then I’d stop what I’m doing and just stand there waiting. It was like one of those moments you see on ER where everyone is freaking out in the OR room and then suddenly someone yells CLEAR and there’s this ka-koom-chuh sound and then silence and everyone is just waiting to see what happens. OK that situation is nothing like bronchitis but sadly I’ve already typed it and pushing backspace seems like a lot of work at this point. Anyway I have antibiotics now and I’m coughing a lot less and my voice is more or less back and with a vengeance. I’ve got to make up for lost time, man.



hi annie–
I lost my voice last year and it was not fun. I wasn’t able to speak at all for three days!! Hope you will recover soon. I will try to make it to your reading at bluestockings!
do you write, “with love” or draw a little heart or kiss marks when you do book signing?? just wondering…
thanks for putting up the link to my website!

Bronchitis is the worst! I got it right before my SATs in high school…I spent half the test in the bathroom, coughing up a lung. Thank goodness I’m a fast test taker!
You know what’s scary? I have a cough right now. This being you is bad for my health.
