Help, I Completely Lost My Voice

[mmilus]

I submitted a show last night and have one declined credit card. During the night, I COMPLETELY lost my voice :yuck: so I can't call the customer. I sent her an email last night but she won't be able to hear me if she calls me back. Any suggestions on how best to deal with this so the show doesn't get held up? I thought about emailing my host but hate to involve anyone else if I can help it. This was an outside order that she submitted online so I've not even met the lady. I'm sure it was an oversight but I still need to get it taken care of. Thanks!

Re: helpDo you have someone who can be your voice? (Husband, relative, etc?). In the email, did you tell her you lost your voice? If not, I would follow up with an email to let her know. If you can whisper, then if she calls and knows you lost your voice, she can still give you a number, and will know you cant talk loud or more than a whisper to at least acknowledge. ?

I understand what you are going through. I lost my voice the Friday after Christmas and didn't get it back for a week and thank goodness because I had a party on January 4th and 5th and didn't know how I would do it with no voice. I used e-mail to contact host and I also used my daughter and husband to communicate for me when I couldn't. I've never lost my voice for more than a few hours so it was bad....a woman not talking for more than a day. My husband enjoyed it. And it's hard for people to hear you whisper on the phone.Take care of yourself and rest your voice so you don't damage anything. Good luck with this.

Can she call Head Office with the show # and your info and get it straighten out??? You could tell her that in an email and give her the 1-800 #

What about someone in your cluster she can communicate with? They can then call you and tell you over the phone so you can get the info. Maybe you can use your cell phone to text to the other consultant as she talks on the phone? LOL. Goofy, I know, but unless you are in the same room, could be tough. Ideally someone in the same room as you would be best.
