Tori's Wheelchair Misadventure

It's been a few weeks since Tori was in the hospital. She had been slowly getting back to the swing of school. She was nearly caught up with the school work she missed while she was in the hospital. She was so focused on school that the girls noticed that she stayed cooped up with Pamela in the common room trying to get the school work she missed done.

When the girls saw that, they thought of a plan. They asked Matron to help. They thought Matron could convince Tori to take a break as Dr. Rivers was coming to stretch her and make sure she was healing. Matron got Tori from the common room and took her to the San.

Once at the San, Tori didn't want to be there. Matron told her that Dr. Rivers was there to stretch her out. She thought she was a bit sore from being in her wheelchair for so long while working on her missed school work. She thought it was a good idea, but that meant she would be undressed. Matron wheeled her in.

In the San, Tori did see Dr. Rivers, so she knew Matron wasn't lying to her to just get her to lie down and rest. She saw that Dr. Rivers wore his full surgical garment. She understood he had to because he would have to examine her entire body. Matron sat her on the bed and began to undress Tori for her examination.

Back in the dorm, Darrel and Alicia were planning something. They wanted Tori to go outside. She hadn't been allowed outside the school since returning from being in the hospital. They were trying to figure out how to convince Matron to let Tori have fresh air. They knew Dr. Rivers was there. Darrel told Alicia that she could try to convince her dad to let Tori outside. Alicia thought that was a good idea. Darrel then headed to the San to speak with her dad.

When Darrel arrived at the San, she peered through the window. She saw that the privacy partition was up. She knew that Tori must be naked. She quietly let herself in. She then poked her head behind the partition. She saw that Tori lay on the bed in her diaper and cast. She saw her dad stretch Tori's legs and rotate her hips. She then slowly walked over to the bed to speak with her dad.

When Darrel walked over to the bed, she quietly called her dad. She didn't disturb him, but she wanted to talk. She hoped she wouldn't get scolded. She felt like she wasn't allowed to be in the San, but she also felt she needed to speak to her dad about Tori.

When Dr. Rivers saw Darrel, he was surprised to see her. He knew that she wanted to speak to him about Tori. He asked her what she wanted or needed. She asked him if Tori was allowed outside. He told her that he already spoke with Dr. Moore about that very thing. He told her that he and Dr. Moore felt that Tori would be allowed outside. He told her that Tori was allowed outside, but she would have to use her wheelchair. Darrel thanked him and told him that it made sense that Tori would have to use her wheelchair.

Just then, Matron spoke up. She told Darrel that she spoke with the caretaker about carrying Tori's wheelchair to the bottom of the stairs outside. She told her that it was too late for them to go outside that day, but she could take Tori out the next day during morning break. She thanked Matron.

When Darrel returned to the dorm, Alicia and Sally asked her what her dad said about taking Tori outside. She told them that it was too late that day to go. She told them that they were allowed the next day. She told them that Matron would allow them during morning break. She also told them that Tori had to use her wheelchair. They understood. Alicia even said that it will fit in with the plan. Darrel wondered why.

Just then, Alicia showed Darrel 2 pillows and a rope. Alicia explained that she would sneak out of the school with the pillows and rope. She said she would meet her and Tori at the stairs when Matron was gone. Alicia then told Darrel that they would gently tie the pillows around Tori then help her in her wheelchair then take her for a lovely time outside. Darrel thought the pillows were a good idea for Tori's safety. They all couldn't wait to take Tori outside.
