(no subject)
i HATE being sick. my throat is still killing me and its getting hard to sleep at night because my throat hurts so badly that when i swallow i begin to tear up. so i began to think about what the doc said and how i might have mono. i just looked up mono and what it is all about, and well, i was wrong about not having mono, i actually think i may have it! as i was reading the info about it i began to cry because i have a big chunk of the symptoms listed and it can easily be mistakened for the flu or even strep. so im really upset about that and although i dont kno of anyone who has mono, you can still get mono by not getting enough rest and over working your body way too much. i thought at first that i had a sore throat because over the weekend i had my honors choir convention and sang the whole time, so duh, i just tired out my vocal chords. no big. well, they didnt seem to be getting any better, and although my back isnt hurting and i dont have severe headaches anymore, the throat is the one thing that is killing me now.
from looking at what Mono really is, im getting a little freaked out about it. apparently, you can rupture your spleen (and you would need emergency help right away, and possibly emergency surgery Oi!), the sore throat stays for a good long week, you feel really fatigued the whole time you have mono, and although the symptoms may go away after 2 months, there's something called EBV where it practically lives in your saliva and doesnt go away until AFTER 6 MONTHS!!!! so im pretty pissed about that becuase that means your still CONTAGIOUS!!!
well, other than that, im going to the doc tomarraw to get a blood test to find out if i have mono or not, and now that im thinking of it, chances are slim to none that its just a harsh sore throat.
but today i went back to school, and HOORAY!!! i lasted the whole day! there were a couple times where i was close to passing out cause the pain got to me and i was starving (cause for the past couple days i havent had much or any of an appetite). but after taking some advil and eating soup, i felt i could take on the world! so i kinda did, and now, im kinda payin for it cause my throat is in the worst condition ever! but back to school, since i made it through the whole day, i FINALLY saw Jon! i swear, i was on like serious Jon withdrawl. lol. but i went over to his house and saw his cute little puppy, Black Jack, but the only problem was, hes a puppy, so he likes to bite and scratch.
well, my throat hurts (like ive alreayd stated) so im going to prolly work on my retarded Minor Author paper for english while watching RENT and eating ICE CREAM!!!
o yea, one good thing about having mono, all the ice cream you can eat! it really helps with my throat :)
