Oh joy. Of all the delightful things that have happened to me, the topper of my list is I have been blessed to have contracted Mono. Of ALL viruses I could have contracted I get this. I never would have guessed it would have been this. I just thought it was a really bad case of sore throat and some sort of flu virus.
I went into the clinic yesterday and got checked out. They gave me these huge white pills to take to get rid of my tonsillitis.... do you have any idea how hard it is to swallow those things when there is only half an inch of space in the back of your throat? The throat and nasal infection stuff should be gone in less than a week, but I am still contagious to others with mono for another week after that. I feel like walking death.
Everyone has been really supportive. My mom is worried sick (not literally) and wishes she could come down and take care of me, all of the girls here, though cautious (and rightly so) are supportive, caring, and help me to laugh about it.
Though I hate that I am like this, I am most worried about my boyfriend. Before I got really bad we did have a kiss and shared a drink, and before I knew what my diagnosis was he gave me a hug and was super sweet and got me some juice and such to help me get better. He is a really healthy person and I am so worried he will... or has gotten the virus from me. I would feel so incredibly awful. ... lol, but (optimism kicking in) if he does end up getting it, at least I can take care of him with out worrying that I will get it. Not like I can catch it again :P
Another.... semi-good thing about this is that I get to sleep in, don't have to got to work, and I don't have to go to class.... though on the other hand I hope this doesn't jeopardize my employment or lower my grades in class. But for all of that, Everyone says I will be exhausted for while and should rest for another week or so. Though I definitely will, I honestly don't feel too bad aside from a headache and my tonsillitis, and feeling abnormally weak.
Well, God must have something good meant for this whole icky situation.

Pei pa koa is pretty decent cough medicine (from herbal as I remembered), great non alcoholic medicine, some western cough medicine are more effective, but this is non drowsy.
