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.
Had mono in 4th grade. Missed a month of school and 3 weeks of football practice. Spent the whole time on the couch.
Same. Watched the food channel. Got super hungry but hurt too much to eat.
No offense but if you ache while eating watching the food channel seems to be an odd choice.
