However Friday was different. I took the thermometer out of the first aid kit my family has.
It rarely gets touched, my whole family is very healthy. My temperature is always 98.6 so when my temperature rose to 100.5 I knew something was wrong. on top of the fever I also had swollen glands on the back of my neck, the front of my throat feeling swollen, dizziness, nausea, weakness, and headache. So I called up my parents who just left for a weekend retreat telling them what was going on. My step-mom who works in a hospital told me to " get some rest, push fluids, take ibprophin." Being nauseous me I decided to do one out of the three and go to bed.
The next day went the same. I didn't eat anything, I called out of work and slept as much as I could. Sunday I wasn't feeling primarily great but my fever was gone so I decided to make the whole work thing happen. When I got there they had me go into the managers office and start counting a drawer for register. In the office i started sweating and according to my managers I looked flushed. They told me I should go see a doctor.
That visit resulted with the fact I have mono. Today now being Thursday almost a week later I still have no idea how I got mono. I still feel nauseous, tired weak. I apparently will for a long time. The doctor told me that I will be actively contagious for 6 months which basically means I wont be able to share drinks, kiss or other similar activities for 6 months.
I woke up this morning to a text from my cousin, the conversation went like this:
Is there any possible way I
could have mono too?
considering I kept drinking
out of your brisk thing the
other day
OOO yeah I would get
yourself checked out
Hahahahha craaaaaapp

She went on to tell me how both her and her boyfriend were feeling the symptoms... OOPS.
XOXO
