Mono again

*Due to Sharon's comment, I have edited this post to include another picture
I think I am something of a medical anomaly, because blood tests confirm that I have mono again. This was very surprising to the doctor, but even more surprising was that even though I was vaccinated years ago, a hepatitis B test came back positive. Luckily, that test turned out to be a false-positive, so I don't have both hep B and mono, just mono.

I suppose I'll take a mild fever, complete lack of energy, and tonsils swollen up to the point where swallowing spit is very painful over Hep B.

For your comparing pleasure, here is a picture of when I had mono last semester:

Which stylish beast is more handsome? The Sam of mono-past, the Sam of mono-present, or the Sam of mono-future?

Please don't let there be a Sam of mono-future...
