so the last few weeks/month i've been feeling under the weather, bit of a sore throat, really tired and grogging, having a hard time getting out of bed and such. about a week and a half ago i took a sick day, yesterday my throat got so bad i couldnt eat, i'm working all day and had nothing to eat, and very very little to drink and it was from my throat being too sore to swallow anything so i said screw it, i'm gonna go to the hospital.
was there for about 2 hours, comes back after doing blood work and tells me i've got mono. write's me out of work for 3 days, i call my boss up as im in the hospital on my way out to tell him, leave him a voicemail. i've got 2 more sick days, so i'm kind of freaked out about losing the pay. he sends me a text a few hours later saying my routes covered, my sick days will be covered and to feel better. gotta love having a good boss, just hope this passes soon, i find myself sweating out of nowhere profusely, the next minute i feel totally fine.
went to the hospital last night

if you recover in 3 days you are very luckey
when i had it--was closer to 3 months before i could get back to work----mono wipes the crap out of you --and if not looked after properly can even kill you
dont rush it--make sure you are ok before going back to work
good luck -
yeah we'll see how im feeling, i might just not go back to work this week if i'm feeling this crappy, even so i just have to take it easy when i do which i can and i will. i've been feeling run down for a good month and a half though so maybe i've had it this whole time i dont know. just recently my throat has been hurting so bad i had enough, and that along with feeling run down i finally caved in and went. they told me 5 to 7 weeks before it'd finish passing threw.

Hope you feel better. You don't have to kiss the sheep to love them!
Just kidding. Mono is known as the kissing disease because that's usually how it's transmitted. You will always be a carrier now. Once over it, it can come back and you won't know it. But others can get it then.
Mono you can get over on your own, but if your upper left stomach starts hurting, you need get to the emergency room quick. In some cases the spleen swells and can burst.Injun Thanks this. -
I've never heard of it going away in just 3 days. I hope it does for you.
In my entire life, I've never had a paid sick day. I know I won't get any now, my boss is an a-holeouterspacehillbilly Thanks this. -
