•One week post-op•
Miranda had her surgery one week ago. She's been laying around, not doing much, completely normal.
"Are you ready, my love?" Taylor asked, as they were headings to Doc and Mel for a one week post-op. "Yeah!" Miranda said, she took his hand, and walked to the car.
He started driving, "how's your pain level today?" Taylor asked. "Probably 8/10" Miranda said. "I'm sorry, that you've been in so much pain!" Taylor said. "It's going to be worth it at the end! We'll have a baby!" Miranda said. "That's all that matters!" She added. Taylor smiled, and put his hand on her leg.
•At the OBGYN•
"How are we healing?" Mel asked. "It's going good, other than the pain that comes along with it." Miranda said. "Are you still having pain?" Doc asked. "Yes!" Miranda said. "On a scale 0-10; with 0 being no pain, and 10 being the worst pain." Doc asked, and explained. "8/10." Miranda said. "I don't like that, let's take an ultrasound; should we?" Doc asked. "Yeah!" Miranda said. Mel started the ultrasound. "Is it not normal for her to have this much pain?" Taylor asked. "No, her pain should be less then 5, almost healed." Doc said. Doc was looking at the ultrasound, over Mel's shoulder. "Is everything okay, Doc?" Taylor asked. "Everything looks good, what do you think Mel?" Doc asked, knowing Mel had worked with more Endometriosis cases in LA. "It looks amazing!" Mel said. "Why am I still in so much pain?" Miranda asked. "It seems like you are healing slower then normal, that's completely okay. I can write you a prescription for a higher Ibuprofen." Doc said. "Thank you!" Miranda said. "What about the stitches?" Miranda asked. "I want to keep them for another week, or even two." Doc said. "Come back in 2 weeks and we will see how your healing." Doc said. "Okay!" Miranda said. "I'll see you in two weeks!" Doc said, shaking their hands and walking out. "Okay, two weeks, here's your prescription, I still want no heavy lifting, no sex, if you're going to exercise; light exercising only, more resting; on the couch or bed, the better." Mel said. "Okay, got it!" Miranda said. "If not better in two weeks, I'll have to say; we'll keep you here; on strict bed rest." Mel said. "Got it, thanks Mel!" Miranda said.
•At the house•
Miranda went straight to bed, she was also always so tired. "Can I get you anything?" Taylor asked. "Can you go to Deitch Pharmacy and get my medicine?" Miranda asked. "Of course, anything else?" Taylor asked. "A nap?" Miranda asked. "You take a nap, I'll go to Deitch Pharmacy." Taylor said, covering her up, and kissing her cheek. "I Love you!" Taylor said, walking out of the room. "I love you too!" Miranda said, rolling on her right side, getting really comfortable taking advantage of having the whole bed to herself. Taylor drove down to Deitch Pharmacy right down the road. He went inside.
"Welcome to Deitch Pharmacy." An employee said. "Hi, can I pick up?" Taylor asked. "Of course, Name?" The employee asked. "Miranda Kinney; August 14, 1990." Taylor said. "One?" She asked. "Yes ma'am!" Taylor said. "Awesome, I'll be right back!" She said. Taylor waited, "can I asked who's picking up, for privacy reasons?" The lady asked. "Husband, Taylor Kinney." Taylor said. "$12.09" she said. Taylor payed, and got the medicine, and headed home to his girl.
•at the house•
He walked up to their bedroom, saw Miranda was sleeping, and didn't want to wake her; just yet. He made her a green shake, and got her medicine ready, and sat it on her side table, with a note, "went to Plum Market, I'll be back soon, enjoy a green shake and take the Ibuprofen; I'll be back, my love."
He headed to Plum Market for a few things; Flowers, get well soon card, candy bars, and a bottle of sparkling water.
Taylor got back to the house, and went upstairs, Miranda was sitting up on the bed, finishing her shake. "Hi, my love!" Taylor said, waking into the bedroom. "Hi." She said. "How are you feeling?" Taylor asked. "I'm feeling a lot better." Miranda said. " I got you something!" Taylor said. "I saw your note, what did you go to plum market for?" Miranda asked. Taylor sat on the bed next to her and sat the bag on the bed. "I got you some flowers, a get well soon card, and us some candy bars, and a bottle of sparkling water. I thought that we could cuddle, have some sparkling water, some chocolate, and I can make your favorite Pasta e Ceci, and we could watch our favorite Empire." Taylor said. "Sounds amazing!" Miranda said. "But?" Taylor asked. "There is no but; baby, this is so sweet, I love this." Miranda said. "I thought it could be a little date." Taylor said. Miranda kissed him, and rested her hand on his shoulder.
•About one hour later•
Taylor brought them both a plate of Pasta e Ceci, and two a glass for sparkling water.
Miranda had gotten back in bed, and fallen asleep.
Taylor sat the food down, walked to her side of the bed and gently pushed her hair away from her eyes, "my love, are you hungry?" Taylor asked. "Starving!" Miranda said. "I have you some Pasta e Ceci, do you want it?" Taylor asked. "Yes, please." Miranda said.
Taylor got in bed next to her. They enjoyed their Pasta e Ceci, and sparkling water. Taylor took their dirty dishes downstairs and put them in the dishwasher, after they finished.
He went back upstairs, Miranda was in the bathroom vomiting. "My love?!" Taylor asked, knocking on the bathroom door. "Are you okay?" He asked, then going into the bathroom. He pulled her hair back, and bent down beside her. "The pasta e Ceci tasted so good going down, not so good coming back up."
Miranda said, wiping her mouth with a rag. "I'm sorry, my love." Taylor said. "Back to bed you go." Taylor said, helping her up and flushing the toilet. "I'm sorry!" Miranda said. "No, it's okay!" Taylor said. She got back into bed, and he covered her up, and kissed her forehead. He laid next to her. She moved closer to him, laying her head on his chest. He pushed the hair away from her eyes, and kissed the top of her head. She was already back asleep.
•One week later•
Back at Doc and Mel's office to get another check up. Miranda hasn't been feeling as bad as she did, not sleeping as much, and being able to keep her food down.
" How are you feeling, Miranda?" Mel asked. "So much better." Miranda said. "How's your pain?" Mel asked. "Better!" Miranda said. "Shall we take a look?" Mel asked. "Of course." Miranda said. Mel started the ultrasound, "your stitches look amazing, too!" Mel said. "How does it look?" Taylor said. "Everything looks amazing!" Mel said. "Great!" Taylor said. "Should we take these out?" Mel asked. "Absolutely!" Miranda said. Mel got the stuff and stated taking out Miranda's stitches.
After she took the stitches out, Doc came into the room. "Mel said, everything looks good!" Doc said. "You can continue to every day things, I still want to wait another 3 weeks before any sexual activity." Doc said. "Another 3 weeks?" Taylor asked, with a laugh. "Haha! I'm sorry, I just want everything to be healed." Doc said. "I understand!" Taylor said. After talking with Doc and Mel, they went home, and just watched movies and cuddled on the couch.
"I'm excited to be healed, I can't wait to have a baby!" Miranda said. "Me too!" Taylor said. "On top of that, I just want you to be healthy!" Taylor said. "Me too!" Miranda said. They watched the rest of the season of Empire.
