So I've been sick for two months straight. Literally. First the flu, then a sinus infection that survived two rounds of different antibiotics in abnormally large doses.
I went back to the doctor for the fifty millionth time yesterday and lo and behold, what I thought was the flu and a crazy sinus infection is, in fact, mono.
(sidenote- if I've made out with you in the past two months, I apologize)
I'm really bitter about it. It explains so many things- why I literally can't get through a single day without napping, why I'm so damn weak, why the antibiotics aren't working. Why I about died during exam week, pulling those all-nighters (although I do think it's saying something that I had my best semester yet, grade-wise, while having mono).
When I'm at school and sick, I just ignore it and force myself to go to class and do my work anyway. During the first two weeks when I was running a fever and it was at its worst, I only missed one day of classes. But now I actually do have to rest. And I'm really pissed about it. I don't LIKE doing nothing. I don't like sitting around. I'm going back to school early this coming Monday, and I want to have fun and drink with my friends and go out.
I just want to live life, dammit. And be able to get through one day without having to take a nap.
Yea. I'm bitter.
