Lisa's Cold

Last night Lisa came home later than usual.

It was raining, and she didn't have her umbrella,

When she got home, she was cold and wet.

She was tired, and she didn't feel well.

She got out of her wet clothes and went to bed.

She just wanted to sleep.

This morning, she woke up with a bad cold.

She had a headache and a sore throat.

Her mother took her temperature.

Her temperature was 39 degrees, so she had a fever.

Her mother told her to stay in bed.

Lisa's sore throat hurt a lot, so her mother called the doctor.

She made an appointment for 11:00.

Lisa got out of bed at 10:00, and got dressed.

At 10:15 they left their apartment.

It was still raining, so they took a taxi.

They got to the doctor's office at 10:45.

Her mother gave Lisa's name to the receptionist.

Then they sat in the waiting room.

They waited in the waiting room.

They waited for 10 minutes.

Then a nurse came and took Lisa into another room.

The nurse weighed Lisa and took her temperature.

Then Lisa waited for the doctor.

When the doctor came, he looked down her throat.

He listened to her heartbeat.

Then he gave her a shot.

The shot hurt a little, but Lisa didn't mind.

She wanted it to help her feel better.

After leaving the doctor's office, they went to a pharmacy.

Her mother bought some medicine.

Then they took a taxi home.

For the rest of the day, Lisa stayed in bed.

She took some medicine and drank a lot of liquids.

She slept for a couple of hours.

Then she listened to some music.

By 6:00, she was feeling much better.

Now she is thinking about tomorrow.

She's looking forward to going to school.

She doesn't want to stay home again.

But she may have to stay at home.

She can't return to school until her cold is gone.

She doesn't want her friends to catch her cold.
