Plays Well With Others

Well, I just spent

Well, I just spent a week in the hospital trying to recover from the mystery illness. Well, it’s not a mystery anymore … see turns out I have the worst case of MONO they’ve ever seen in their lives.

Now let me explain to everyone how you get MONO since their seems to be a little confusion. Sure, it’s nicknamed the “kissing disease”, but that’s how you pass it to someone else. MONO actually comes on when you overwork your body to the point where it can’t take it anymore. I tend to try to fit alot of things into my schedule and do alot of things, but I guess there is a point where the body just shuts down. This was it.

So, I spent the last week in the hospital trying to eat the soft foods they’ve given to me, not very successfully either. They shot me up with tons of Morphine for pain and had me on a IV drip because when I entered the hospital I was very dehydrated. My fevers began around 103 degrees, but with ice packs packed all around my body, the fevers finally lowered in the last few days.

I’m definately on the road to recovery, but not at 100%. I can’t talk for long periods of time, because my throat dries out too quickly and it gets painful. I can’t eat regular foods, and instead eat very bland, soft foods. I can eat a tuna sandwich on soft white bread, but most fruit juices irritate my throat. I can eat most puddings, like vanilla or tapioca, but I stay away from chocolate since that’s a bit sweeter. I’m still longing for regular food and being able to eat like a normal person again, but I’ll take what I can get. Last week, I could barely suck water, so if I’m able to eat a whole sandwich … hey, Go Me!

I’ll return to work on Monday or Tuesday, depending on how I feel. It’s my decision, even though everyone wants to make it for me. It all depends on how I feel Monday morning …
