Yuck!!!

So... I haven't been feeling well for a while and I finally broke down and went to the doctor this week.


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!
