No voice, no family interaction

Greetings everybody. I have lost my voice. On Friday, I thought I had lost my hearing out of my right ear, but it seems to be connected to this condition that has now taken my voice. I have a faint ringing in my right ear, but can actually hear. I just can't speak. I would much rather be without a voice than without hearing. Needless to say, we're just hoping it isn't contagious and spreads to the rest of the family. Stephanie has quarantined me in our bedroom and I just sit here and prepare for Football Sunday. On the surface, it sounds pretty good for me - without kids in my bedroom, forced to do nothing but lay here and rest and oh, by the way, football just happens to be on all day today. But it actually kinda sucks. I want to be hanging with my family, not holed up here in this room.
