I had mono right before my freshman year in high school (back when Noah was my band director). The thinking at that time was NO activity at all. That's when I sort of learned how to play string bass in the school orchestra. The Dr. wouldn't let me play my horn at all for 6 months. I don't know what the current thinking is, but you might want to consult with your own physician for advice. I agree with the others, though. Be good to yourself and back off as much as you can. You will bounce back in time and with proper care. Thank goodness your recital is over and you don't have that pressure staring at you. Good luck and good health to you.
