GUESS WHAT I HAVE?

Okay, let me start off by saying I have been feeling like crap lately.  I mean REALLY crappy.  I get home from work and I have to lay down.  And when I lay down I fall asleep immediately, and it’s not normal sleep, it’s comatose sleep, y’know mouth wide open, snoring, drooling, just completely out cold.  So, I thought my thyroid was screwed up again, and I had a blood test on Friday.  Well the doctor called me this morning to give me the results, and guess what……my thyroid is normal but……I have……are you ready?   MONO!  WTH?  I’m 33 years old, I’m not 15, and growing up all I ever heard was that you got it from kissing people, like lots of different people.  Guess what, I’m not kissing anyone, haven’t been.  Of course I work in an office where everyone knows everyone else’s business, and I think everyone had heard I had it before I had hung up with the doctor!  They all acted like I had the plague and me just being there would infect them all! 

Elle of course was the wonderful, caring big sister she always is.  This was her response, “You have freaking mono????  Who have you been kissing???  Okay, you win, you are sicker than me, oh fragile one.”   If you don’t know, Elle has a massive sinus infection right now, so she feels awful and I am known as “the fragile one”.  I don’t know how that came about, maybe because I’m the youngest, I don’t know.  Anyways, I looked it up on WebMD and apparently the virus that causes mono is in your body at all times, and it just depends on your immune system whether you get it or not, it’s not contracted by kissing a bunch of people…..now to convince DH!!
