"Guess what?"
"What?"
"I am your new doctor," Lewis said, "I know, I am not the head of department, but I know exactly what I am doing. Promise,"
"What about Ashton?" I asked, "My treatment is still the same, right? And on a Tuesday, and I can go home this weekend,"
"I am not changing anything for now,"
"Why are you now my doctor- not that I am not happy, but I am so used to Ashton,"
"Your sister requested a change in doctor, and she is your legal guardian, so what she says goes about that,"
"Do you know why?"
"Erm... I think she is just getting a bit worried because you two are so close. How are you feeling?"
"Tired,"
"You did have surgery. I am gonna feed you and then you can sleep, does that sound okay?"
"Where is Sierra? And Ashton?"
"Ashton is with Kaykay, Sierra will be down soon I am sure,"
"He's not coming to see me?"
"I could page him. Him and Kaykay have had a tough day,"
"Well what if I have? Which I have. He doesn't know that of course,"
"You had a tough day? Wanna talk?"
I shrugged and looked at him, then the tube used to feed me. Lewis was gentle, caring, and patient- he was a good doctor. But he wasn't Ashton.
"I had more scans, and more blood taken, and my weight taken again,"
"It does seem pretty packed, you can have a rest tomorrow. Maybe someone will take you on a drive,"
"People always say I get a rest and then I'm either in surgery or in a machine,"
"Well, nothing is planned. Have you brushed your teeth today?"
"No,"
"You probably should before you sleep,"
"My ulcers hurt,"
"I'm surprised you are talking so much,"
"I always have a lot to say," I said, sighing, "I'm trying to ignore them,"
"How is that going?"
"Not good,"
"Okay, well you need to try and brush your teeth everyday, and take it easy. Why don't I see if I can get you an emergency dentist appointment so that they can take a look and make sure it's all okay?"
"No,"
"No? Why not darling?"
"No," I said, shaking my head, "Please,"
"Well I am going to, because we need to make sure they don't get infected or anything, but it will be okay darling,"
"I want Ashton back,"
"Because I am caring about your health?"
"I want the old Lewis back,"
"Surprisingly, I am the same Lewis. All that's changed is now I get to help you more,"
He finished my feeding and then sent me to brush my teeth, so I did, then crawled back into bed and faced away from him. I was mad that Ashton hadn't visited, and kind of took it out on Lewis.
