I was told by a doctor at UHS that 30 days is the pretty standard length of time from when you first start feeling symptoms, to being not contagious (they pretty much said proceed with caution) to playing sports and what not. It is still being double checked with two more doctors..
In other news, I have a huge psych test tonight which is going to rape me, and my spleen feels fairly large. I am aware that there is no connection between my psychology exam and my large spleen (LS), but I feel like I probably should add something about mono in that sentence.
Spleenformation (Spleen information. Not, the formation of a spleen):
When a person has mono, the spleen becomes enlarged for whatever reason (ask the spleen gods). The unfortunate thing about uncontrollable spleen enlargement (USE) is that it you have to stop playing contact sports. Now, I for one am not such an athlete myself; however, I was (note the past tense) enrolled in a beginners racquetball course and recently had to drop it due to my USE. If I were to continue playing racquetball with a LS, than the LS could rupture (if hit by a racquetball, racquet, or being yelled at by my former manly female racquetball instructor) and cause serious pain and hospitalization.
Now if the congregation can please rise and join me in a prayer to the psychology gods...
