I got sick of laying in my bed!
thanks mel for the pics:)its been too long... I know! We flew over to california to have thanksgiving with Johnny's fam, and then headed out on an 8 day cruise with platinum, the day after. The Clark's watched Ivy for us, and she had the time of her life. I usually don't worry leaving her bc she adjusts really well. We kept telling her that we were going to go on a boat and she was going to Disneyland. When we were saying our goodbyes to her she said " you go boat, I go dismeyland." It was so funny! She was totally trying to shoe us out the door, bc she knew where she was headed as soon as we left.
I am not a cruise lover but we had an awesome time just being together, and hanging out with our friends. The first day we got there was great, but it was all downhill from there. The second day I got really sick. My right lymphoid had inflamed like crazy and my right tonsil was ridiculously huge! I figured I was just getting strep or a really bad case of tonsillitis. So next day I went to see the doc on board and he told me that I just had tonsillitis and gave me some fast acting antibiotics. Well two days went by and I was feeling worse and worse. I went back to the doc, and he was very concerned at the size of my neck and tonsils, so he decided to put me on an Iv with a different antibiotic, along with a couple shots. Anyway, to make a long story short, after 3 iv's and 3 shots, nothing worked. I was able to get off the boat for a couple of hours, but that was about it. Seriously, 8 days on a boat without getting off will drive a person crazy! I think that it will be a long time before I step on a cruise boat again... we were just grateful that our cruise was free! few!
I went to the doc when we returned, and they ran some blood tests and turns out I did not have "tonsillitis" but rather mono! So that explains why none of the antibiotics didn't do anything. Its a good thing the ship doc made me walk around with a flippin needle in my arm for nothing! Ug! So now I guess I just get to be really lazy! I hate this feeling... but everyone needs to experience mono once in their life right??
Hey cruise buddies... does anyone else have any other pics that pertain to me or us??

Oh dear. I'm sorry you're sick, I think I know how you feel..
For the past 4 weeks I've been sick with some of those same symptoms and I FINALLY went to a doctor. He tried to tell me I have mono (without a blood test - I wouldn't let him take my blood because I didn't want to believe it). Then he decided I have sinusitis. Then I decided doctors don't know anything (just kidding. kinda.)
Anyway I'm an antibiotics -- and so far, not feeling better. Maybe I have mono too.
Hooray for us, right?
Feel better soon!
Amy
That sounds awful. I wish I could have gone but I probably would have been right there with you. Being prego I would have at least gotten sea sick. Anyway, I hope you get feeing better. Let me know if ya need anything.
Cute pics. Too bad there aren't more/any of the fun excursions. And I wanted some of you in the cruise ship hospital!
MONO? Thats crazy. You shouldnt have to pay the doctor since he diagnosed you wrong. Anyway, we went to Dismeland yesterday and thought of you guys! We had fun hanging out on the cruise!
Awww so sad you had mono on a free 8 day cruise!!!!! And yeah, at least it was free.
you look dang good for being so sick!
Oh Amy that sounds awful! I'm sorry!
Mono seems to be going around. :(
That blue shirt you are wearing is really cute!!
Too bad to hear that you have mono, such a bad time of year for that!
