Chapter 18: Fiona

WHEN DR. ROCHE CAME to change the dressings on my face, he decided some of the bandages could be removed. I wasn’t sure how I felt about that. The bandages might be ugly and uncomfortable, but who knew what was going on underneath them.

“Do I want to see?” I asked after he’d removed them.

“It’s not so bad. A bit of scar tissue, but you’re healing nicely. The swelling’s gone down quite a bit.”

I hadn’t looked in a mirror since that first time seeing myself. The sight of my face had freaked me out so much that I’d even covered the mirror in my bathroom so I couldn’t see myself when I brushed my teeth.

The doctor got me a hand mirror. I hesitated before looking at myself.

“Remember, a lot of the scarring will fade over time. And once you’re back to full health, we can discuss options for minimizing that. Don’t think of anything you see now as being the way your face will look forever.”

His words didn’t reassure me. Even if I’d look better in the future, I didn’t want to look horrible now.

I slowly raised the mirror, then set it back down without looking.

“You don’t have to look if you don’t want to,” the doctor said. “I’ll take the mirror away.”

He tried to take it from me, but I snatched it away. I needed to see what I looked like before I could face anyone else. I just needed some time.

I took a deep breath, then raised the mirror to look at myself. Red, angry marks crossed my cheek. He’d uncovered the left side, which made me think the right side was even more damaged.

“Can I put on makeup?” I asked.

He shook his head. “Not yet. The pigment can make the scarring look worse. Maybe in a week or so, but you might need a silicon primer to help with healing beneath the makeup.”

I nodded. I definitely didn’t want to make things worse.

“So, about the sex?” I asked him.

“Ah. I was going to send someone to talk to you about that. At the moment, you shouldn’t move too much, or it can undo the healing. But maybe there are ways... They’ll discuss that with you. I’ve got to get going. Other patients to see.”

I chucked as he left. That guy was so uncomfortable about sex.

After I had my breakfast, I waited for Matty. He was late. Maybe he needed to do stuff with his parents, but I’d come to rely on his visits.

While I waited, a woman came in to see me.

“I’m Stacy,” she said. “Officially, I’m Dr. Marengo, but Stacy is much better. I’ve come to talk to you about your vagina.”

I stifled a laugh. Already, I liked Stacy.

“I keep asking how long until I can have sex, and no one will give me an answer.”

Stacy sat down on the chair beside me. “It’s hard to know in these cases. We don’t want to give you a fixed time frame, because the body heals at different rates.
