Only 1 hour to go and counting...

I can hardly believe it is nearly over. An hour from now I will be able to speak freely again!!!

I am so used to carrying my communicator about with me EVERYWHERE so I shall feel very strange without it. I will be constantly looking behind me checking I have not forgotten it. Although I am obviously looking forward to regaining the power of speech, a small part of me will be sad to see the communicator go. Your voice is part of your identity - people can tell a lot by the sound of your voice. The communicator has been my voice for the best part of a week and so it was in a way, part of my identity for that time. However, I will be regaining part of my identity by being able to talk again!!!

What a journey it has been...and not over let. We shall be reflecting on this one for a long time!
