Out of it

By Walker Alldredge - 15/09/2020 00:02 - United States - Ogden

Today, I was recently diagnosed with mononucleosis. This means that I'm really tired. I had been planning a trip with my sister and my cousin, but I didn’t wake up this morning at 7 because of the Mono, and they didn’t bother to wake me up. They went without me, to all my favorite places, leaving me at home with nothing to do. FML

Today, I went to the doctor to see why my walking pneumonia wasn't getting any better. It had. I've just somehow managed to also contract mono... while sitting home, alone. FML

Today, it's officially been two weeks since I found out I have mono. It's also been two weeks since anyone has visited me, called me, or even emailed me. The real kicker? I'm now fired from my job because they can't believe I can have mono twice in one year. I guess I'm just lucky that way. FML

Today, I went to the hospital with stomach pains. I found out I have mono, as well as a ruptured ovarian cyst, which may need surgery. I called my best friend for support, only for her to drunkenly yell at me for not being at her party, and that this could have waited till a better time. FML

Today, I was sitting at lunch and started choking on a chip. I couldn't breathe and nobody tried to help me. Having to take matters into my own hands, I reached for a juice box that belonged to someone sitting next to me. After I could breathe again, they informed me that they had mono. FML

Today, I have mono. This means I need to sleep a lot, under doctor's orders. My dad has decided it's okay to to play loud bluegrass music and leave the TV on old movies in which women scream hysterically at all hours, and gets pissed at me when I tell him to turn it down. I feel like an old man raising a manchild. FML

Today, I was taking a nap in our country house. I was sick with a fever of 101.3. When I woke up, I see that my family had left to go back to the apartment. They forgot me. FML

Sticky situation

Today, I found out that all together, I have mono, strep, a UTI, and a enlarged spleen. How am I going to tell my friend that I made out with his dad, and now his dad is sick? This man gives his newborn kisses every night. FML

Today, I woke up feeling awful, having caught the same illness my boyfriend had last night. When he was sick, I skipped my friend's baby shower to take care of him. Now that I'm sick, he goes to a friend's place, says to call if I need him, then turns his phone off. Seriously. FML

The Trifecta

Today, after blacking out from fever, I found out that the reason I've been feeling so sick is that I've somehow come down with pneumonia, strep, and the common cold all at the same time. FML

Today, just a day prior to my vacation starting, I learned that my five-day "seasonal fever" is actually due to a blood infection from a bacteria. FML

They did the right thing with not waking you up, with mono you stay home until you are well.

They were in the right. You need to rest up and you’re also contagious so you don’t really need to be out in public right now.

They can’t be infected unless they kiss her or share any food or drink.

Actually it can be transmitted by any bodily fluid or mucous membrane which means sex or a sneeze, someone's dirty hands etc.

"The virus that causes mono is transmitted through saliva, so you can get it through kissing, but you can also be exposed through a cough or sneeze, or by sharing a glass or food utensils with someone who has mono."

I had that crap when I was 5 years old. It nearly killed me. Please be careful with it

If you have mono, it wouldn’t have mattered if they did wake you up. I had mono and was so sick with a 103 fever and couldn’t move except to crawl to my bathroom for two weeks.

Get better. They did the right thing as you are contagious.

You can’t go anywhere anyway. Between mono and coronavirus, you shouldn’t go anywhere.

You need rest and to avoid physical activities with mono or you risk rupturing your spleen. Also you could infect the others so staying home is really what’s better for you.

That does suck and being disappointed is valid, HOWEVER mono is highly contagious and I got in when I was 15 and am 28 how And never recovered. I’ve been exhausted since with chronic fatigue syndrome... it is likely the cause of an autoimmune inflammatory response that has been calcifying the lymph nodes in my chest by my lungs over a period of years. And ontop of it when I got histoplasmosis in my lungs in 2016 I began coughing up pieces of calcification that look like little bone fragments, and recently started coughing them up again after going 4 years without, And I also was diagnosed with afib at 25 which is possibly due to the sleep apnea caused by my lung issues. .... mono is highly contagious stay home and rest and don’t give it to anyone 🥺 my best friend in high school knew she might have mono and didn’t tell me til after we had both been drinking out of a soda and I have life long repercussions. I don’t think I’m ever going to reach old age...
