Before I knew it another week went by and I was feeling better than ever. I attended every doctor’s appointment and made sure to do some light exercises to increase my endurance and strength.
"So, are all my tests still coming back normal?" I asked Jessica in her office.
"Yup!" she said, beaming with excitement. "All of your hard work is paying off."
"I feel stronger already," I said, showing Jessica my little muscles.
"Great!" she exclaimed. "Even though you're not one hundred percent, I think you're fit enough to carry Arthur's pup."
I swallowed hard. It was getting closer now that I was feeling better. I didn't want Jessica to see my apprehension, so I thanked her and left.
After I was in my room, I figured I had earned some relaxation. The bookshelf was full and I hadn't had much time to read from it. I slid my fingers along the bindings, finding an interesting title, and slipped it out of the bookcase.
