CAN YOU HEAR ME?!?!?

The most frustrating part of this whole experience is that even after 3 1/2 weeks, I still don't have my voice back. I can talk, but it's not my normal voice. I can sing (and I love to sing) but I only have about 3 notes to my range now. But the worst is that I have no volume. I simply can't talk loud. The more I try, it seems the softer I get. I am seriously thinking about investing in one of these to help me be heard:

The worst is at restaurants like Bajio's where I try to tell them that I don't want onions and they can't hear me and the person next to me has to tell them. Talking is one of the things I do best :) and now I can't even do that. Ugh.
