Poor, miserable me

[tilly_stratford]

Okay, right, it seems I misinformed you (heck, I misinformed myself). This illness is not in fact "Return of the flu", but "Attack of the Mono".

That's right. I've gone and contracted "kissing disease". Feeling quite down because of it too.

As far as I've gathered I have to sort of put my life on hold for some weeks, and I won't be entirely healthy until six weeks or so have passed.

And now I have to watch out and take care of my spleen? I was barely aware I was in posession of one. What has my spleen ever done for me? Okay, it might be that my spleen is a mighty fine guy, but I keep envisioning it as a freeloading bastard, skulking around with a cigarette in its mouth.

The only thing that has faintly amused by this whole ordeal that the illness is caused by the Epstein-Barr virus. It's like having a lot of feminine well-educated Englishmen nancing around in my bloodstream. Oh, and that you can actually purchase cuddly plush-figures of said virus:


So, any sympathies or hugs out there for a sick outcast? *puppydog eyes*
