It has been awhile

Sorry it has been so long... I think most of you know that I have been rather sick with mono.

I learned that it is not true that you can only get mono once. I had mono in college and now about 14 years later I have it again. I guess it is a different strain this time. I have no idea where it came from. I don't know anyone else that has it and I guess it will remain a mystery.

My doctors only advice was to "listen to my body". My body told me I was tired all the time. Was I supposed to take off from work for weeks? So I continued to work full time with night time meetings most every night. That was not a wise choice. After two weeks, I felt A LOT worse. The tiredness that I had felt before was nothing to what I was feeling at this point and my spleen and liver started to swell quite a bit. SO, I did take some hours off of work for a full week and canceled all nighttime and weekend commitments. (sorry for the birthday parties that I missed) I know, I should have taken actually days off. It was hard for me to know what to do. This past week I went back to full time with just a couple extras. I am feeling a little better...still a bit tired, but a lot better.
