Yes, it's true. You've heard right...I have been dealing with Mono now for SIX MONTHS! At first, I thought "Ah, I'll feel better pretty soon. I'll just start napping when the girls do every once in a while. I won't be 'one of those' who has Mono for a year...." and then after a month, I realized that I was going to have to nap EVERY TIME the girls did, and so that was my new routine. That was five months ago. Fast forward one week ago, and that's when I found out that my EBV Level has gone UP, instead of down...AND as if that wasn't enough, I am anemic now! :( Soo....I am learning that there is a whole new meaning to 'rest' that I didn't know existed. I don't think I've ever been in one spot as long as I have been on several occasions throughout the last week. Thanks to my wonderful family, I am getting some much needed rest, even if it is by FORCING myself to stay put, and hopefully will be on the mend soon...at least that's what I keep telling myself.
I am however enjoying some good DVD's, books, and of course working on some images. I feel like a little kid playing hookie just sitting around, because I am not sick, as in nauseous, or anything like that. I just have NO energy...and I mean ZILCH! ZERO! NONE! Going up the stairs is a huge effort. Seriously.
I would like to take the opportunity to thank everyone that has sent me their well wishes, volunteered to help out, and called or sent cards.
So, a big thanks to all of you who have been so caring, and patient. It means a great deal, and it helps my world continue to go round to know that you are thinking of me and sending prayers up for me, even though it seems like everything has come to a screeching halt for me at the moment.
Will keep you updated,
Melissa
