After our successful experience with Levron, Dad pushed ahead with a treatment plan for Mrs. MacDonald. Instead of using an operating room, we performed the procedure in his examination room.

Due to her weakened condition, the rapid acting spells we had used on the physically fit athlete were replaced with much more gentle spells that would have to run over a longer term.

Her son was waiting when we brought her back to her room after the procedure.

“Hi, Mom,” he said. “Did the examination go well?”

“It was over quickly. They treated me very well.”

Brian watched as a nurse hooked up an IV to his mom.

“Will that knock her out?” he asked.

“No, not at all,” said Dad. “That’s a slow-release anti-inflammatory drip. It’s a new treatment for her type of arthritis. Over the next few days, her symptoms will subside.”

“Any side effects?”

“Possibly nausea, increased fluid retention, perhaps some balance issues as long as the drip is going. But long-term? This protocol has proven to be extremely low risk.” Dad exuded confidence.

Brian peered at his mother, who had dozed off. “Her hair looks darker. Is that normal?”

“It’s just the lighting in the room, Brian,” I said. “But if she wants her hair done later this week, we have a full salon for the patients on this floor.”

“Really? A beauty salon in a hospital?”

I lowered my voice, as if sharing a secret. “Brian, we have some very high-profile patients come through here. People who insist on discretion. It’s better for them to have access to every service here on-site than to be seen coming and going to a hospital.”

“You mean like plastic surgery?”

Dad made a face at the term, and I jumped in before he could express his opinion. “We prefer the term reconstructive surgery,” I said.

I took Brian by the arm and guided him out, “I think we should let your mom rest. You can drop back in later today or tomorrow.”

In the hallway, Brian took my hand. “Mom looks better already.”

“I didn’t want to get her hopes up, because the treatment varies depending on the patient, but many patients make remarkable progress.”

“If she’s one of the lucky ones, what can we expect? Will she be able to get up on a walker?”

“Brian, if she responds well, we’ll have her dancing again.”

“I don’t know how we can repay you.” He turned away in embarrassment. “I wish we hadn’t been ordered to kick you off of your property.”

Make friends, Luna. Dr. Patrizia’s advice rung in my ears. “Don’t worry about it, Brian. I’m glad it was you who showed up. Having an old friend there was a big help.”

“It wasn’t very friendly to kick you out.”

“Let the lawyers worry about the mine. I’m sure it’ll work out in our favor.”

“So you’re not angry at me over that?”

“Not at all. You were just doing your job.”

I touched his arm again, “You’re one of the few friends I made in high school.” I emphasized the ‘friends’ slightly to let him know there was no romantic intent. “And friends help each other out.
