The diagnoses: Mono
The Cause: Definitely not kissing anybody!!! I couldn't even get a frog to kiss me right now! :)
The Treatment: - First of all the hardest for me - No more Marathon training. I am really not happy about that. This has been a really hard summer for me to train, but I was looking forward to that accomplishment.Secondly - I am supposed to sleep! I almost laughed at the Dr., but he told me if I don't sleep I don't get better. Seems pretty simple but since my body is only used to 3-4 hours a night I thought this was going to be a hard one for me. He told me that I would want to sleep and he was right. I think I have been awake 2 1/2 hours of the last 18, and I am headed back to bed in a few.
I told the Dr. that I didn't have time for mono right now he just laughed and said that these things usually didn't consult schedules.
I guess that means no more kissing for me for a while !
Enough with the negative....It could always be worse. I am thankful that it isn't. I hope you are smiling!
"Anyone who imagines that bliss is normal is going to waste a lot of time running around shouting that he's been robbed. Most putts don't drop. Most beef is tough. Most children grow up to be just people. ... Most jobs are more often dull than otherwise. Life is like an old-time rail journey - delays, sidetracks, smoke, dust, cinders and jolts, interspersed only occasionally by beautiful vistas and thrilling bursts of speed. The trick is to thank the Lord for the ride" Gordon B. Hinckley
