The next morning, Keshara was checking my vitals. I reached out and held her trembling hand. She froze for a moment. Tears falling on my blanket. I slowly drew her to me and whispered, Thank You. The nurse came in and Keshara was instantly back to business. Keshara said Ok, we have to roll you over and check your wound. and I have to listen to your breathing sounds. You will not like this so grit your teeth cause there is no way around the fact its going to hurt. The rolled me over and I gasped with the stabbing pain and grabbed her arm as hard as I could. She whispered, Im sorry, I have to do this. Once on my side I settled quickly. I said, can breathe better like this. Keshara quickly removed the bandage and went over the wound with her scanner. The nurse handed her a dermal re-generator and she went over some weak spots to make sure my outer layer of skin was sealed. Then she listened to my breathing. I shivered at the touch of her cold stethoscope. She said sorry, almost done. Then she ran the scanner again. This time it was set for a deeper scan of my lung. The eased me back over on my back. Jaden had just came back with some coffee for Maria. He asked , How is she? Keshara got dizzy. Jaden helped her to a chair. She said its ok, just over tired. Mandy is in much better shape than I really expected. Their will be some internal scaring from the bullet wound and where I had to re inflate her collapsed lung. The wound is sealed and healing well. We have some fluid build up which is common for lung wounds of this magnitude. Looking at me Keshara continued, Im going to have to sit you up. You will not like it. Ill give you something for the pain. But you have to cough and force yourself to take deeper breaths Keshara looked to Jaden and Maria, You two need to go outside for a few minuets, while we get this done. Jaden asked why? Keshara said, when we do this she is going to spit up some really nasty looking and smelling stuff. Praetor, please take Maria to the commissary and make sure she eats. Keshara stood up and came close. Whispering, This is the nasty part of medicine. She is going to cry out from the pain and sound like she is gagging. If you see what comes out, I gaurentee you will throw up where you two stand and not want food for a lone time. Jaden gathered up Maria in a warm blanket and took her down the hall to the commissary. When they got to the door. I cried out in the worse pain I had ever experienced. Maria whirled around and grabbed Jaden hard and held on tight. The gurgling sounds I made alone would make anybody sick. Jaden covered Marias ears so she wouldnt hear it. Jaden was shaking. Maria was shaking harder. She needed to eat. During a lull in the sickening sounds I was making they went inside. One of the nurses rushed up and said here please sit. She ran off and came back with some hot tea and fruit for Maria and a small glass of Romulan Ale for me. The nurse said I have a sister who is borderline Diabetic too. As for yours Sir, I keep a flask in my carry all, for emergencies. Jaden stood for a moment and gave the nurse a big hug and said Thank You. He sat down and downed the drink in one gulp. Taking a breath he said Gods, I needed that. The nurse poured him another and then put the flask away. and went back to her business.. They didnt know how long to wait so he asked a nurse to see if it was all right for them to come back in the room. She came back and said, she is finished... doing what she had to do. Now they are cleaning her up and cleaning the room too. Id wait about fifteen minuets before starting back to her room.
