still Sick

    This is week 5, that I'm sick. This is week two that I'm completely out of school. I am regaining back a lot of energy, but more importantly, I am falling behind in all my classes. I'm facing possible in completion and lost credits. This is not the first semester of college I imagined, more like a nightmare.
    Doctor ordered me to stay at home in bed rest at all times. I have infectious Mononucleosis. Basically, I had mono. Then I went to the Texas State University Health Center, and they told me that I had a head-ache virus. They gave me some antibiotics for my stomach, despite the fact that I told her I had no stomach pains. Going two weeks untreated really affected my body. It became infectious. Now, still to this moment, it's severely affected my organs. My liver is not fully functional, and my spleen is enlarged. That means that they are concerned that my spleen will rupture. I'm still contagious. On top of that, I had mono "complications." Basically, I last week I had a throat infection that caused my throat to be so swollen, I couldn't breath nor swallow. Thankfully, they didn't need to do surgery. After my cat scan, they decided that I just needed large amounts of IB prop-hen. For you that don't know, Mono is not treatable by medication. If you take antibiotics, it is likely that you will break into a body rash.
      Basically, this semester has sucked. My teachers are trying to work with me, though I totally understand that there is a point where you can't help much. With all of the school that I've missed, I've missed 5 in class quizzes, 2 midterms, 3 assignments, and all lectures. I've kept up with all my online work, with the exception of last week's blog.
     If I fail any classes, my financial aid will be revoked. I will be put on probation. There can't be anything more discouraging than this. At this point, I don't even want to finish college.
