**basketball:6th period**
bạn and the varsity team are all practicing drills and today for some reason, bạn feel really out of breathe and dehydrated. On your water break, bạn gulp down your whole water bottle but bạn still feel dehydrated. bạn feel dizzy and bạn fall on your knees.
Coach: Sullivan!! Get your behind over here!!
bạn try to get up but bạn can't. bạn just fall right back down to your knees and the assistant coach goes to you, Tommy.
Tommy: What's wrong Jamie?
Jamie: I feel dizzy.
Tommy: Why don't bạn sit down. Do bạn need water?
Jamie: Y-yah...
Tommy gets bạn cold water and bạn gulp it all down, still feeling dehydrated AND bloated from the water. bạn put your hand on your head and bạn can't take it. bạn can't stand another một phút in the gym when bạn remember what your doctor said...
**
Doctor: If bạn ever feel sick Jamie, dizzy hoặc anything, quickly go to the hospital and get a check up.
**
bạn quickly pack up your stuff and bạn walk out of the gym. bạn don't see Shawn and bạn forget it. bạn quickly go back trang chủ and bạn don't see your grandma there. bạn guess your grandma is still at work and bạn put your stuff down. bạn change into regular clothes and bạn head to the hospital bởi walking. It's just a few blocks away anyways so it's not a big deal. bạn quickly head into the main bàn and bạn ask for the emergency room. They point it to bạn and bạn go there. bạn sign up for a check up test and when it's your turn, bạn go in to the room. It reminds bạn of the same room in Florida where bạn first got diagnosed with leukemia.
Dr: Jamie Sullivan?
Jamie: Yes.
Dr: So you've been diagnosed with leukemia I see.
Jamie: Yes. I came for a check up. My doctor in Florida đã đưa ý kiến if I feel dizzy I should head to the hospital and get a check up right away.
Dr: When did bạn feel dizzy?
Jamie: 6th period. I have basketball.
Dr: Oh. Although excercise is recommended, you're a little too sick for it, don't bạn think?
Jamie: ...
Dr: Well lets get bạn checked up and we'll see the results soon....
***
Dr: Oh...
Jamie: Is something wrong?
Dr: bạn seem to have gotten worse.
Jamie: What?
Dr: Have bạn been taking your medication daily?
Jamie: Not daily but sometimes...
Dr: Medications are important for bạn Jamie. bạn can't ignore them.
Jamie: ... how bad did it get?
Dr: Results are obvious but it's not too drastic. I'll assign bạn thêm doses of your medication. You'll probably feel a bit thêm nauseated and dizzy for a while because your body has to get used to the doses. bạn might also get severe headaches. I'll assign a new medication for that one.
Jamie: *sigh* thêm medication...great.
Dr: Well Jamie they are important for bạn so that bạn can live longer.
Jamie: I know...how long do bạn think I have?
Dr: Excuse me?
Jamie: Well I know I'm not gonna die of old age...how long do bạn think? The doctor from Florida đã đưa ý kiến I had maximum 30. What do bạn say now?
Dr: ...I don't enjoy saying a limited age you're going to live.
Jamie: Please...can bạn tell me?
Dr: ...I'm guessing...maximum would be 25.
Jamie: Minimum?
Dr: Exaggeratingly, 18. (you just turned 17)
Jamie: A year?!
Dr: Exaggeratingly I said.
Jamie: Oh....
Dr: I'll give a note so bạn can give to your bóng rổ coach. It's just going to say if bạn feel dizzy to let bạn sit out for the rest of the time until bạn feel better...
