The context of the following conversation is Addison took her awhile ago, and people were getting worried they wouldn't return.:
Addison says I hope no one worries that I will be gone for awhile and won't come back.
The friend responds I'm sure they understand that you needed to get checked out.
Addison responds My body temperature has been so bad. It's been rising steadily.
The friend responds It's better to get checked out than to have someone get really sick.
Addison responds Yeah, that's a good idea. I will come back as soon as possible..
