Wow, I pray that you have a speedy recovery.
I had a similar thing happen, but in the form of a strange cold. It lasted much longer than a typical cold, despite all my efforts to combat it. After 3 weeks of the illness, the 2nd week of which I lost my voice for about 4 days, when it was all over, I tried to sing again...and couldn't! Another week passed and I tried again. Now, my voice which once had some pretty nice range sounded more like that of Mary J Blige, you know, that raspy sound. I was mortified! :cry: I prayed and prayed, and honestly thought it was punishment for doing, saying, or thinking something wrong. Another long 2 weeks passed before my voice returned to normal. I had almost gotten used to not singing by then until I heard a good song on the radio and hummed along with it. I noticed my sound quality sounded more like myself. 8O I opened my mouth and tried to do a rift...It sounded wonderful (to my ears) even if I cracked a little.
Since then, whenever I get a cold, I DO NOT SING. I just drink hot tea with honey and a dash of lemon juice. And, of course, I thanked and praised God over and over again for giving me back my gift.
I endured that torture for 1 1/2 months. I NEVER want to experience that again. Get well soon!
