Has anyone ever had mono? Well this week I am so fortunate to have been diagnosed with infectious mononucleosis. a.k.a. "The Kissing Disease," and for those of your wondering, I have not been going around kissing people. You know, I have always wondered about this disease and that they all hype up how contageous it is through the mouth and saliva, but you know what? It has to start somewhere! What initially causes mono? Any of you actually pay attention in health class? I didn't, and I am certainly paying for it. I went to the store today and bought about $30 worth of juices, yogurt and jello. I hate that my throat was so swollen that it was too painful to force down any solid food. Let me tell you ladies and gentlemen, I don't know how I got this for sure, but be weary of who you kiss and who you drink after. Because I am in it for the looooong hall!
