Back to normal

Happy Wednesday!

I'm back to normal!
Well, in a matter of speaking.
So about 6 weeks ago I started feeling like I had the flu one Thursday night. So I didn't go to school the next day. That weekend I was awake for a total of about 10 hours. The following Monday I went and had a mono test which came back positive.
Thus began my mononucleosis adventure.
You're not supposed to get mono when you're 27. It's supposed to be a young kid to teenager virus.
So I'm odd that way.
You normally catch mono from slobbering around on people or from sharing food and drinks. I don't do either of those.
So I'm odd that way too.
.....
Ok, maybe I'm just odd all 'round.

But the funny thing is that this past Sunday I was doing some laundry, going up and down the stairs, and the sudden realization hit me that I felt completely well.
It's such a strange thing, that virus.
It came on all of sudden. One day I was fine, then the next day I was exhausted and weak. I continued to be exhausted and weak for over a month. And I tell you what, mono sucks. Most days I had to choose between studying, eating and showering. I could do one, not all three.
And I usually chose showering because I want people to like me.
But I managed to make it through finals (and got all A's, thank you very much) and then spent the next four weeks in bed watching movies on my laptop.
Then BANG!
One Sunday I feel completely normal. (Physically, that is.)
Weird.
And it sure is nice to be able to shower AND eat AND do errands on the same day.
So I have a whole new appreciation for my B cells. I like them in their normal state. Not all trashed and looking like they've been run over by a lawn mower.
Thank God for the regenerative powers of the immune system.
And for waffles.
