Other than still being sick we had a really good trip. Our first stop was Jackson, MS to see Mandy’s Dad, Aunt, and Uncle. From there we went to New Orleans, LA and then on to Gulfport, MS to see Mandy’s Mom, Aunt, and Grandmother.
From what I have heard everyone approved of me. I was really cool to see all the places and people that Mandy sometimes talks about. I got to see the houses she lived in, some of the schools she went to. Got fighting lessons from her Dad and Uncle. Her Grandmother is such a sweet woman and has a sharper mind than anyone else I know. All the things she holds in her memories is just amazing.
Finally getting to see New Orleans was very cool. We got to have dinner with Kevin which is always a good time. We walked around the city a bit, and when I got to tired we hoped on a little bus tour thing. It took us all over the city including the lower 9th ward. It was crazy to see how much is just gone from the storm, not just in New Orleans either, but all along the coat.
I am off to try and make it through another day at work. I am still feeling the mono, so about lunch time I am just ready to pass out.
I called the doctor yesterday and convinced them to call the lab and see if any of my blood work was done. Turns out that I tested positive for mono. Seems that I might be running a fever for ten days (five down I think) and feeling bad for up to three months.
On the upside as long as no one drinks after me, or kisses me, I will not getting anyone else sick. That means trip is still on, just doing to not feel that great the whole time. I think with feeling bad all the time for a few months I will have to sign back up for Netflix.
I missed work on Monday because I had a massive headache. Managed to make it on Tuesday and have not been back since. I went to the doctor on Wednesday. I had a temperature of 102. They were leaning toward the flu, but that test turned out negative. They took a urine and blood samples. I still know nothing. I have had a fever for at last four days now. It is not getting any better.
At the earliest the blood work might be back today, but it could be Monday. I really want to be over this before then. We have a trip planed for the upcoming week and I really don’t want to miss it.
Just in case any of you had any doubt, day time TV sucks.
