I’ve been sneezing and blowing my nose all day.

I’m scared that I’m sick. I don’t want to be sick.

I don’t want my heart to be rejected by my body. Or my heart to have an infection.

Okay, so if I’m sick, is it really that bad? There’s a very little chance of that happening.

There’s still a chance though.

Idk maybe I’m just too worried.

I do everything to protect myself from being sick. In school when someone even coughs I instantly switch seats to the back of the classroom. I never participate in activities outside because I don’t want to get cold or muddy.

Oh wait… yes I do! Yes I do!

Everyday I swim at night.

Everyday I swim at night!

The one thing that’s supposed to be shielding my heart from infections, is giving my heart infections?

It’s also December. Ever since late November it’s been more and more cold.

Well, I have a doctors appointment tomorrow at Stanford.

Should I tell them about this? Is it even important?

They have dying children to take care of. Should I tell them I think I might be sick?

Today I had an orthodontist appointment. I didn’t need to take antibiotics for the orthodontist like before since I’m already 6 months post transplant.

I also had a swimming lesson. Reflecting back to before transplant, I’m so glad to be able to actually exercise. Doing sports is awesome, even if I’m really bad at it.

I’m sick.  

The thing is, I’m not really worried about it that much. I’ve been sick before (June 3, 2019), and nothing really happened. Also, I’m approaching the one year mark anyways, so I’m not extremely vulnerable to infections.

I might seem very chillax compared to my other journal entries (December 6, 2018), but that’s just the way it is boo. I’m an unpredictable person, hahaha.

I decided to not go to school today, but only because today is a useless day anyways. Today at school is a block schedule, which means a full day of nothing in each class.

I also swam today, but only for twenty minutes. I was kind of debating about it, since it is an outdoor pool and I swim at nine in the evening, but whatever. Exercise number one.

Tomorrow I might go to school, but my mom doesn’t want me to risk it. I might get even more contaminated, but I have two tests.
