i hate mono

Well, it seems I just can't catch a break this season. I'm trying to stay positive (really! haha) it's just unbelievably frustrating to bounce back again and again from injuries and sickness only to be knocked down over and over. But since I am out for the rest of the season it looks like, I am going to take this time to really rest, recover, and rediscover my love for the sport :)

A little recap of my recent adventure: I began feeling bad with an especially sore throat a week before moving back to Colorado. Driving up with my family I began to feel extremely sick, and after I got all moved into my summer house we decided to go to the doctor. My resting heart rate was extremely high and I was constantly dizzy and to make a long story short I spent four days going between the ER and specialists with concerns from a throat abscess to a blood clot in my lungs and it was miserable. In the end turns out I have mono and strep, and my body was just under a lot of stress. I am doing so so much better, even though I am back in Texas and not riding at all right now, but my brother is finding ways to keep me entertained :)

I admit I am still incredibly bummed, but there are many seasons to come and this is by no means the end.
