Man, there's nothing I love more than Gary Larson's sense of humor, and your opportune use of it. Thanks, Kiteman.

Pretty good. I still have a voice crack rarely, but today was pretty good. I'm producing a lot of phlegm, and it hurts when I yell too loud, but otherwise very good. All his mom did was say, "Oh, honey, don't do that to people, you could have hurt him!" And then take away his phone for a week. Oh, well.

No, it's a lot better now. I think I'm fine, other than humiliation. My sister says it feels normal, so I'll trust her. Thanks.

Thanks, bro, but I'm 24.

No, it's pretty good now. I have to clear my throat from time to time, and I can't yell too loud without some discomfort, but for the most part I'm as healthy as a horse. I just LOVE my nephew.

Haha, thanks.

There's not much of a bruise from what I can see, just a little yellowing. It hurts to swallow too hard. My other sister's studying to be an ER nurse, and she says it's normal for a change in voice tone and pitch. She says it's like losing your voice for any other reason--misplacement of your vocal cords. I've managed to avoid a nice, juicy throat injury for a good long time, so I have no idea about treatment of one. I'll wait it out for another two days and if there's no improvement, I'm under the knife. Thanks for your help. Wish me luck.

Oh, by the way, it's either foo-gedda-bahdid or fa-gyetta-bottit. I've never heard fugeddaboudit. :P

Thanks again.

Haha, I remember seeing that sign. I think someone called it stereotypical or something and that they were going to remove it.

Well, my voice is almost back to normal (and look, two days, just like my sister said), but that sore throat feeling is still there. The bruise is gone, for the most part. I hope the possibility of needing surgery is eliminated. But I'll stop worrying when my voice is completely back to normal. All this caused by a passive-aggressive kid. :P Thanks for your help.
