Update.

Lab results are in. Mono was negative. However, the virus that causes it, Epstein Barr Virus stays with you forever, and in my case it decided to flare up or reactivate, causing me to feel like shit. I'm just so exhausted I don't know what to do with myself, but at least I stopped having nightmares that I'm going to die. And now AF is here like she's never been here before. I've never bled so heavy in all my life. UGH.

My doctor still wants me to get the mammogram to be safe, and I agree. My appointment is scheduled for next Wednesday. I'm definitely not looking forward to it. A big machine squishing my huge boobs surely doesn't sound like fun to me. Afterwards, I'm going to go to lunch with Clea and a former coworker, Andria. Andria and I were pretty close over the last few years, although no one would have thought we'd be friends. When I was on maternity leave, Andria wasn't feeling well. She was extremely dizzy so they did some testing and diagnosed her with MS. She never came back to work. They have tried multiple treatments, and nothing has worked so far. Unfortunately, the disease was rather progressed when she was diagnosed. I feel so bad for her and I'm hoping that Clea and I might bring some happiness to her day by taking her out for lunch. It's so scary to think that you can be fine one minute, and sick the next. Life is sometimes just not fair.

  1. I hate that you have to go through the mamogram and all this other testing. I will keep you in my prayers. If you need anything, please let me know. *hugs*
