"I now weigh 190 lbs!!  (That's as far as it goes though.) I know because I had to go to the doctor.  Hermana Mortenson (my teacher) made me.  See, I've been sick since about the third day I came here.  I went to the doctor but he said that it would go away and to gargle salt water.  I even told him I was coughing up blood but he said that was normal.  Well, Hermana Mortenson made me go again last Saturday.  They took me to instacare.  They took tests and x-rays.  They told me I have bronchitis.  They took a look at the x-rays and found that I have a spot on my right lung.  They weren't sure what is was, so I had to get a CT scan.  It was so weird.  I was too tall for the machine and had to sit with my feet off the table.  After I was done they told me I had to wait a day for the results.  I was scared, I'm not gonna lie, but all is well... no cancer."

"Yep, I was sick for that long.  I'm better now though.  As for the spot... my comapnion gave me a blessing before I got the CT scan.  Nothing even showed up on the results.  The spot is gone."
