Not cancer, not strep, but the dreaded mono. Ah, my throat turned purple today. SO we went to the emergency, sat around for four hours, and finally got in. The doctor tracked down my bloodwork, said yep, you have mono. Gave me some drugs for the swelling (thank God) and some T3's for the pain (thank youuu!!) and then decided to give me this spray mask thing to numb my throat right away, cept then I had a horrible asthma attack, which got worse when we left, so I was like writhing in the car, thought I was gonna pass out, fortunately didn't. Went to get mom's inhaler at shoppers cause mine are empty, and she's like, "no, you can't use it, you have mono!" SO, I had to wait fifteen minutes while barely breathing and like halfway blacking out for all my meds to be done up. Then they were done, then I felt better. Ah.

      So I just had the anti-inflammatory ones, and at the moment, my throat hurts more than it did before... hopefully that will change shortly. Major headache, which is supposed to be one of the side effects... but on the bright side of things... TIGH-NA-MARA called and offered me the full time banquet server job! I said yes and then said that I had mono and wouldn't be able to come in for another week or so. She said that was fine, and just to call when I'm not infectious! (which should actually be sooner since I've already had this for like five days, and it only lasts 5-10) But that means I can still see Brody, who comes home very soon!! AND hopefully I won't be like so wasted by the mono that I can't get out of bed for three months like certain other people. That. would be lame. That is all. Someone call me and talk to me cause all I do is sleep and surf... the net. CAUSE I'M SO FREAKIN' TIRED!! Whoever gave this to me shall die a long and painful death.

      One last note. My mom is totally freaked that she's gonna get mono now. She said that she is going to buy me my own set of cups so that I don't infect everyone. I thought that was quite funny, a) because I've already used ALL the cups in the house, and b) we have a little something called a dishwasher.
