Chapter Ten

Fox

I opened my eyes, finding it difficult because my lashes seemed stuck together. My body was stiff, and I groaned as I tried to lift my arm. A stabbing pain went through my rib area, and I gasped, pressing my palm to my side. I was disoriented, and didn’t recognize where I was. Slowly it sank in that I was in a hospital room, and the memory of being hit by a car came back.

I wanted to sit up, but my muscles felt weak and my ribs still throbbed. There were no other people in the room, only machines with blinking lights and annoying beeps. My chin felt scratchy, and I rubbed it, noticing I had the beginnings of a beard. How long had I been in this bed? I didn’t remember anything after the truck hit me. I tested moving my legs, and it seemed I didn’t have any broken bones. I was sore, and incredibly stiff, but hopefully I was right, and nothing was fractured.

Gritting my teeth, I forced myself to slowly move upright. My muscles resisted, but I just kept going until I was sitting with my legs hanging off the edge of the bed. It took me a long time to manage, and I was sweaty when finished, but at least I’d sat up on my own. From what I could tell, I wasn’t paralyzed, or permanently injured. I wasn’t dumb enough to try and walk, not when my legs felt like spaghetti, but I was dying of thirst. I fumbled around the bed and found the button to call the nurse.

When the nurse appeared at the door, her eyes widened and her mouth dropped open. She came into the room, looking shocked, but pleased. “You’re conscious!”

I nodded, unable to speak because my throat was so dry. I pointed to my throat and made drinking motions, and she nodded and left the room. She returned moments later with a doctor I didn’t recognize. He asked me some questions but I didn’t respond because I was dazed and so groggy, I could barely keep my eyes open. He shone a pen light in my eyes, and checked my vitals, but eventually sitting up was too much. I groaned and slumped back onto the bed, and fell asleep.

When I woke up, I only stayed awake a few minutes before slipping back into oblivion again. That went on for what felt like the entire day, me waking up, and then falling asleep. At one point my parents where there, then gone when I woke. I had trouble knowing what was a dream and what was real life. I even thought I imagined Liam holding my hand, and telling me he wanted to be with me.

Eventually I was able to stay awake longer than a few minutes, and the nurse informed me I’d had a second MRI while I was out, and that things looked extremely good for a full recovery. I was relieved to hear that since, as a nurse, I knew how easily my life could have changed for the worse.
