I'm Still Around....not Dead...yet

CHD, the counterfeit section is now an opt-in, it was getting out of hand, can be handled better now. Ask Bobby for access.

I'm not sure if I'll be allowed in...I kinda was the reason the group was started...

Don't forget what it's like to have fun!

Thanks guys. I'll be on here a lot within the next week. Been sick on and off and away from work...got bloodwork done this morning (haven't had an appetite in a week, didn't eat anything for almost 2 days in a row which is unlike my "fat" self)

Anyways, bloodwork came back and my Doc says I might have mono. I'm showing all symptoms...101.6 fever, headache, loss of appetite, fatigue, etc.


To be honest, I don't really mind the loss of appetite...I'm loosing weight and plus, for some reason, I'm craving healthy foods. Really odd, but I haven't really been eating garbage (other then the mcdonalds this morning after my bloodwork but that was because I didnt really have an alternative....15 hours without food in my body, I needed something)

I'm not exactly overweight, but I'm not exactly in shape either. Upper body is where everything is good with me. I have no issue *usually* picking up 100-150lb merch at my job. But I've lost like 5-7lbs in the past week, and hopefully I can keep dropping. I'm 232 and if I manage to loose 42lbs I'll be right within limits for the weight class for my height & age to go into police academy.

The past few days have been a fun nightmare.


Thursday morning, woke up to my mom telling me the doc called, confirmed mono and said that if I have a fever I need to go to the ER...

It was 100.3 when I woke up, so we called 911 and they transported me to the ER (knowing the ER around here it takes about 2-3 hours to get a room, and it was easier to just call 911 since they took blood on the ambulance and could get me into a room immediately.


Basically got x rays, cat scan, and ultrasounds done at the ER, and then they saw more then mono and said my colon was inflamed, white blood cell count was 3X what it should be (30,000 was what they found), liver and spleen were also of concern


Anyways, they then transported me to University Hospitals in Downtown Cleveland....got me into a room immediately. The two guys who transported me into their squad and took me to my room were a year older than I was...20 and another guy was 21...and we got along like friends lol!

Anyways, that night had a doc come in and he said he just thought it was normal mono but he was gonna have the morning docs check it out, so I stayed the night, had a team of Doc's come in on Friday and look at me, and a senior doc who knew as much about mono as any one of us knows about coins came in and said everything was just consistent with mono and that I shouldn't lift more then 35lbs for 6 weeks and that I'm excused from work for 2 weeks.


So I've got 2 weeks to rest. They released me yesterday, and I got home at 3Pm yesterday and slept from about then to 9Pm, and then ate a bit then went back to bed, and just woke up a few hours ago.

I hope you get better soon! The funny thing is you are only a year or two years older than me (I'm 19, and was born on 7/30/1999).
