Live like you were dieing.
Listen to your doctor, first and foremost. Mono can run up to 6 months long, during which your internal organs are swollen and at a much higher risk than normal of rupturing. Intense physical activity is not the best idea given these conditions. But me personally, I'd go insane sitting around idly for months on end.
It is a great time to start writing that book you were thinking about. Or learning a foreign language, if that is you aren't already a professor of a foreign language. If so, maybe another notch on the language belt...
You could also pick up a new computer skill that might enhance you teaching.

Make your plans, Professor. You should be well on the mend by then. Pay attention to any upper right quadrant pain and take it easy.
Hey, it's just Mono.
It coulda been Homo.
I knew people with mono in high school. By the time they returned to school they were the teacher's pet, smart as whips, and very mature. Since you are the teacher, smart, and mature, you will regress into a rebellious state, skip classes, and drive a Pontiac Solstice.
Better still...you probably have tenure.
Louise: George, I can't have sex.
George: With me or in general?
Louise: I went to the doctor today. I have mono.
George: Nucleosis.
Louise: Oh I hope it's not a problem for you.
George: No, no, pff...
Louise: How long is this not gonna be a problem for me?
{ Jerry's apartment...}
Jerry: Six weeks?
George: Yeah, six weeks.
Jerry: Well, so what? you've gone six weeks before.
George: I can do six weeks standin' on my head. I'm a sexual camel. That's not the point. At least there was the possibility.
Jerry: Well, so, are you gonna break up with her?
George: I don't know. I don't wanna be one of those guys.
Jerry: What guys?
George: Like us.
Jerry: Yeah.
Last week I had pneumonia. Although my chest hurt badly it was a nice time to write, surf the internet, play video games, and sleep 5-6 hours a day more. Good luck.
Touring battlefields months from now shouldn't be any problem. You're not planning on running through them at breakneck speed, after all.
