Just got back from the doctor -- it's not strep, or the flu, or tonsilitis. No, it's something I never would have imagined I could get now that I'm out of school.

I have mono.

W.T.F.

Apparently it's going around to adults, and the doc -- who was very nice, thanks geogal -- has seen several cases of it. And since it's a viral infection, there's

Good gods.... That's insane! I hope I don't get it.... :S

Feel better, dear... and rest lots and lots... healthy vibing sent in your direction.

[geogal]

Yikes. Well, I'm glad you like Dr. Feng(she is a super doc). If you need anything, let us know.

Feel better soon.

*HUGS*

Oh gods, that sucks.

Had mono bad my sophomore year in college.

So, not sure if you'll be up for visitors, but we'll be in the Houston area sometime in the next two weeks.

My email is my first name at gmail. :)

WOW. :( You MUST REST and have lots of liquids, and it may be longer than three weeks before you feel back to normal. Mono is a big deal and can cause a lot of havoc with your body (as in liver damage and other nasty stuff) if you don't really take care of yourself.

I had a "mono-like" virus a couple of years ago -- not mono but something of its kinder. Not fun, and it lasted for more than eight weeks.

If you need me to bring by a meal or ANYTHING AT ALL, please call or email me, or have Rob do it. *hugs* David and I are more than willing to wait on you hand and foot if you need.

Holy cow!

Rest, rest, rest, rest, rest. I'm sure you've been working way too hard! Your body is telling you to rest.

And did I mention you should rest? Even if you feel up to work on Monday, it's time to use those sick days next week too.

Oh my god, have I turned into my mother?

[petuniamluv]

I think we all have. :\

pyro, that SOOO SUXORS. I've had it, though I didn't know it for most of the time. Hell sometimes I think I've got it again, like it keeps coming back a la *whisper*fever blisters*whisper*. So yeah, PUT YOUR BUTT IN THE BED AND KEEP IT THERE. I know it's hard for you productive types, but you need it now. ;)

I have Ghirardelli hot chocolate, SSX3 should you need a break from FFXII (shyeah right, that'll happen), and can bring anything else you need. I highly recommend miso soup. And lots of down, fleece and flannel (no, not to eat). Now get back in that bed! :P

I've been staying on the couch and sufficiently drugged. :) BTW, we do have your J. Jill hoodie.
