i came home.
friday night i went to dinner with my parents and my cousin laura (she's back from germany for a little while). we were going to see david, carmen, and sam but sam is really sick so we didn't go out to milwaukee. instead we came back and i went and spent the night over at alex's so we could all hang out for a while since i never get to see laura and together we are 3 of the 4 people in the schneider family that made it out okay.
saturday i came home and went to lunch with hava and alex. when i got back i tried to read this book that i have to finish and write a ginormous journal on as well as this other book that i already finished. i didn't get very far because i started to feel really crappy. i could barely stay awake to read and i'm pretty sure i don't remember anything i did read. my mono just started to suck the life out of me in the worst of ways. i couldn't concentrate or keep my eyes open, my throat started to be really phlegmy so had to keep swallowing to clear my throat...etc. it took me a couple hours to fall asleep because of that. and my throat is so raw today from swallowing every 5 seconds for two hours. and people kept calling me all night so that didn't really help. at about 3 matt called to talk to me about stuff and i feel really bad because i fell asleep while i was on the phone with him. i woke up when the "call ended" flashed on my screen because the light was pretty bright, i sent a text message apologizing and went back to sleep. and since yesterday evening i've felt like puking. i think it's all the phlegm i'm disgesting.
this morning i could barely speak. i went to brunch with kait and had some tea with honey which helped quite a bit. anyway, my mom is going to have ron check with the new insurance company to see what kind of medical stuff they cover because my mom wants me to get my tonsils removed soon. she almost sounded pissed off this morning because she is sick of me being sick. "this is just ridiculous! you've been sick since the fall, you need to get those removed." so, she's going to check around for some ENT specialists and wants me to get my tonsils removed over spring break or right after finals... at this point, i'd do anything. i'd go to the hospital right now if i could. i seriously can't function. i usually have to take three naps whenever i sit down to do my homework; i'll do a little, take a nap, do a little more, take a nap, etc. otherwise there is no way i'd get everything done.
on that note, it looks like surgery for me. whether that be in a couple weeks or a couple more months, it's going to happen. i'm not even really that nervous and i really don't care about how much recovery is going to suck, i just want to be healthy for once.
