I know you thought I fell off the face of the earth…I have not really. I have and am sick. I have no energy at all the past few days with yesterday being the worst of them all. I try listening to my body and for over a week now I have been sleeping a lot more, but thought it was the unusual high heat and humidity. I woke Monday with a slight sore throat that escalated quite a bit Monday night with a fever added to it that was barely kept away with Advil and Tylenol staggered that continued into last night. Nothing touched the pain in my throat though and my glands are swelling more and more.
At the Doctors today they did a strep that came back negative and so the thought is I have mono. I cannot believe it. I will have a confirmation tomorrow after my blood work returns but he is pretty confident. I am so upset! This means no exercise for a lease a month and a lot of bed rest. How is that for a curve ball!? Well I will just need to adjust my eating…scale way back because the serious side effects do not look good to me.
So while I am here I will be stalking a bit because even typing this post up I am feeling more tired. I will definitely keep all updated and I was told anywhere from 2 weeks to 2 months is the recovery time, the shorter is typically the more rest you get.
Please know I am here…just am in the back ground a little until I get past this.
Trish
UPDATE>>>>
I just got word…I DO have strep throat…NOT mono!! I do not think I have ever been so happy to be told I have strep in my life. I still need to rest but I have antibiotics that should help speed the process a bit and I can resume normal activity in 2 weeks vs a month or more. Yes I am happy!!
Thank you all for your kind emails and comments, they really have cheered me up…look forward to getting back to the grind sooner than later!
