I hate glandular fever. First No 2 daughter has it & is sick, tired & grumpy for several weeks, then No 1 daughter catches it. She has been much worse than her younger sister & after 4 weeks of it can only go to school for around 2 hours before feeling dizzy & having to come home.
She is doing year 11, so really cannot afford to have too much time off. Added to that, we have Nationals (for skating of course) in 3 weeks & she is devastated that she cannot train & very worried that she isn't going to do as well as she had hoped.
I wake up this morning with No 2 daughter feeling ill again & after I come home from running errands all morning find her in bed, glands once again swollen, tired grumpy & generally horrible (as we all are when sick). It appears that she has had a relapse. She must be really bad, as the two of them are cuddled up together on the lounge (anyone who knows them will tell you that they usually hate each other & would rather not even be in the same room, let alone cuddling each other).
I don't know what is worse, sick men, or sick teenagers (two of them at once this time).
