As you may remember, the day after I left the BMT isolation ward of the hospital, I got sick with a horrible cough. Because I had the cough, they put me on isolation and I have to wear a mask. I’m still on isolation because the cough is nearly gone, but continues to linger some. The mask is the funniest thing because it literally looks like a duck bill. I think you just have to see it. I wear it quite a bit. It’s not the most comfortable thing, especially when it gets hot inside, but it’s not that bad. I also have to wear it in the store, which really doesn’t bother me. Sometimes people stare, but my safety is way more important. A few people have asked me about my mask – more about comfort than anything. The most amusing thing that has happened occurred when mom and I were walking around the University Mall and we passed this little kid. He pointed at me and laughed! I was so shocked, but it was cute because he wasn’t afraid of me; instead, I think he thought the duck-look was funny. So far, no one has been rude, but one of the women I know from my hospital time told mom that someone actually stopped her in a store and questioned her about what was wrong with her. I’m hoping that doesn’t happen to me but I’ll deal with it. In the meantime, I’m just going to continue looking like a duck.
