Injury Report: Timo Meier out a month with Mono

[Grave]

You can teach defense you cant teach creative offense

Hopefully he can get back into game shape really quick. This sucks, because he was more or less a shoo-in for a spot imo. I guess Goldobin is going to get a really good look, which I can't complain about. I'm also glad he's old enough to play in the AHL now so it's not as though we can't call him up.

Personally I think everyone should do some time in the ahl just to get their feet under them.

We saw rantanen spend quite a bit of time there.

Thank you Mike Potenza.

I don't think I've ever heard of Mono being an illness. I guess it means one of something but missing four weeks sounds serious.

According to the internet, it sounds more like a pain in the ass rather than a particularly urgent medical condition. But yea, seems serious.

I'm assuming you're talking about literal pain in the ass and not the other kind.

I've had mono. It was terrible. You are super weak, can barely swallow due to swelling and a sore throat. I was out for two weeks.

i've had it too. in high school. the kissing disease lol It just sucks out your immune system. Mine lasted 3 months... You can continuously get sick if it doesnt leave your system completely. And this could take 6 months or more...

It takes a while for your spleen to recover (webMD). From another post...

My spleen was so swollen, they thought i had hepatitis C. It took 3 weeks to finally determine all i had was mono...

Unfortunate for Timo. Next man up for now.

I'm certain he'll get his call-up this season.

Had mono in 4th grade. Missed a month of school and 3 weeks of football practice. Spent the whole time on the couch.

Wow I didn't realize it was so serious. I hope Meier gets healthy soon.

No offense but if you ache while eating watching the food channel seems to be an odd choice.

Mono is rough. It cripples your energy and basically forces you to sleep 20 hours aday. That was my experience. Hes guna lose muscle mass, from the inability to function.

Poor guy.

Yea pretty much lol.

I had mono the summer before 3rd grade (had pneumonia at the same time at the start of it). I can echo what everyone else has said: mono is a complete pain in the ass. You have ZERO energy, just getting up to go to the bathroom makes you want to lie down and pass out. Mine lasted 4-6 weeks, I can't remember the exact amount. I spent the entire time in bed, which is pretty drastic for an 8 year old.
