Yesterday morning I had another appointment with Dr. Santini. It was really exhausting with all the vocal drills she put me thought. The main purpose today was to get me to use my head voice. I know I used to speak from my throat. This was all wrong. And probably goes a long way explaining why I lost my voice so often. Also she was working with me to help with voice inflection and to more efficiently project my voice. She is terrific. I have another appointment on Thursday morning then I will be able to go back to work on either Friday or Monday. Normalcy is right around the corner. As an aside I've spent more time in and around doctors in the past year than ever before. I hope this trend stops because I'm too young to have my days off to be planned around doctors appointments like older people.
On the way home me and Jenny talked about going to St. Pete and spending the night at the Island Inn. When we got home we told the boys we were going and started packing. But after thinking about it for a few minutes we decided it was not the right thing to do being behind on bills. In addition Jenny did not sleep a wink the night before. So while Jenny and Devin relaxed at home me and Daniel went to the Walt Disney Speedway to watch testing. The night before while online Daniel saw Red Bull Racing was testing at Disney. He was so excited to go. He knew Brian Vickers was going to be there. But when we arrived we also found out Kasey Kahne, Martin Treaux Jr and Reed Sorensen was there. As for the crowd? There was none. Daniel and some Disney cast member who is a Brian Vickers fan. The weather was gorgeous. It was probably about 60 degrees. I have no idea why Daniel became a NASCAR fan. I could guarantee he is the first Hirsch to like the sport. All I know is since he was a little boy he loved it. When he was first diagnosed with Diabetes Jenny used to use his die cast cars and make a voice with a southern accent to get him to get his shots. Jenny used to say your like a special car who needs special fuel(insulin shots). This was brilliant and really helped with the adjustment. I remember during the off season when he was very young he found he one day watching lawn mower racing. Even now his favorite thing to collect is die casts. He probably has over 150 of them. Watching the cars test yesterday he looked so beyond happy. It was also very special Daniel and daddy time. In the bright Jan. sunshine watching the cars made me very happy we live in Florida. I remember when I was his age living in New York. I dreamed of going to spring training. It was almost magical. I never made it when I was growing up. But here we were watching NASCARs version of spring training. Then shortly we will go to baseball spring training. Not too shabby for either him or me.
