Mononucleosis - a follow up

It's now 2 weeks since I realised that what I had was more than tonsillitis, and things are really not going very well.  I know, I know, I said that I would be sick for a few weeks, but geez - couldn't I be, like, sick but feeling well enough to do things I normally enjoy - like eating, sleeping, reading.  Appetite is at lowest point, hurts to much to eat anyway, sleep is elusive - constant bouts of fever have me waking up in sweats throughout the night, and I have no concentration for reading.  Yup, this is me gripping just a little. 

I want the old Sue back!  I want to sip a glass of wine and nibble on cheese while preparing a fine dinner. I want to bundle up and go for a nice walk outside. I want to look further into the future than my next dose of pain killers. I want to start thinking about Christmas!  Patience, that is all I repeat to myself at this point.  I will return, and it will be a slow uphill battle, but I'll make it.  I'm just trying to encourage myself at this point - thank you for listening!
