Chapter Twelve

‘They’re looking very smooth,’ the doctor said as the bandage came off.

‘I can’t see them,’ I replied.

It was a part lie. I could see the little piece of metal sticking out from my stump but I couldn’t see the exit wound.

‘Here, I’ll take a picture of them so you can see.’

Natalie crouched on the floor in front of me. A part of me wanted to stop her but it was the only way I would get an idea of what my new implants looked like.

‘They’re fantastic,’ she said to the doctor as she handed me her phone.

They looked exactly as I had imaged they would. Two bits of metal. One sticking out from each stump. I wanted to get exercising so I could build up my leg muscles again.

‘If you look after them well, you should be fine to leave in about a week. We’ll show Natalie the exercises that you can do at home and you’ll go to rehab to use weights on the implant. It will help to get your bones strong and your muscles working.’

He showed me how to keep the wound clean. It would prevent any infection from going down into the bone.

‘My thighs looks so swollen.’

‘They will do, you’ve had major surgery,’ Natalie said.

‘The swelling will go down over the next few days,’ the doctor said, writing something on a clipboard. ‘I’m happy with what I’ve seen here. The nurse will put clean dressings on and we’ll go from there. I’ll be back tomorrow.’

He left us. I sat staring at what could be my only lifeline. I had researched normal prosthetic legs and had seen that the pressure on the socket would usually cause pain on the stump. I was glad that I would never have to experience that.

‘How does it feel?’ Natalie asked.

‘Will you stop asking me that?’ I snapped.

She moved away from me. Six months felt like a long time. I was bored already.

‘Sorry,’ I murmured, remembering that she was only trying to help.

‘I’m used to it,’ she said, looking down at her phone.

The nurse came in followed by Leo and Scorpio. ‘You have ten minutes. Then you have to leave,’ she announced.

‘Look at that!’ Leo said loudly, pointing at me.

‘That looks gross but fantastic at the same time,’ Scorpio said.

I shook my head as I smiled at my brothers. The nurse eyed up Scorpio. She was just his type. It wouldn’t be long until he noticed her.

‘How long will it take for him to heal, nurse?’ he asked, going over to her and standing close to her as she got the bandages ready.

I laughed. Leo smacked my back to shut me up. She was a couple of years older than us. Her cheeks blushed when Scorpio fluttered his eyelashes at her.

‘How do you feel?’ Leo asked.

I gritted my teeth at the repeated question and glanced at Natalie. She picked up her bag and put her coat on.

‘Natalie, don’t go yet,’ I called as she went to sneak out.

She turned and grinned at me.
