I would not be opposed to a mild case of mono. My health has really been bouncing around for the past couple weeks and now I’m starting to wonder.
sore throat... check. headaches... check. white patches on the back of your throat... unknown (will someone look at my throat? I'm serious. Really.). swollen glands in your neck... check. feeling tired... check. not feeling hungry... check. fever... negative.
I’m also nauseous / vomiting… not that such symptoms fall under mono but I’m just saying…
Mike has mono. (Insert traditional, same-sex, mono-kissing joke here. Clever clever clever.). I am not nearly as sick as Mike tho.
The other day I was walking through the cannon center with Melissa and was surprised by an aerial assault in the form of a baseball cap. It took a good three seconds before I noticed the prostrate form of Mike on a nearby bench.
Jules: Mike! You look... sick. Mike: I'm a coconut (or something equally coherent). Melissa: Might I recommend acetaminophen or naproxen. Mike: I've never flushed a goldfish down the toilet. (Melissa makes some notes in the margins of her Physicians' Desk Reference.)
Mike looked and sounded really sick. Like a whole lot worse than I’m feeling. But I can still hope, right? I think that I may actually be running a bit of a fever right now. I need to get a thermometer. Where does one purchase such things?
I wonder if they have any old ones for sale in the health center… joking… just joking… ahem.
If Mike actually said that I will give him a dollar, mono or no.
That’s too bad. I haven’t been sick in about two years… my immune system is highly advanced, but I’m not here to brag. Hopefully this isn’t the return of the “Senior Year” sickness.
