Beep. Beep. Beep.
Horizontal slits of light in my eyesight slowly get bigger and bigger as my eyes open fully.
My brain feels like mush right now.
What's mush?
Mush is.....its.....it's not coming to mind right now.
Nothing coming to mind right now.
Where am I anyways?
"-Un-ssi? Yeonjun-ssi??"
My eyes take what feels like a lifetime to slide to the right.
A tall, blurry, broad shouldered figure stands next to me.
Is the voice coming from them?
They sound so far away though.
"Yeonjun-ssi? Can you hear me?"
I try to nod, but my body feels heavy.
So, so heavy.
Like it weighs a million pounds.
"Yeonjun, if yes, blink for 3 seconds, if no, do nothing. Can you hear me?"
I follow the instructions for the figure as best I can.
"Okay."
A weird scrapping noise for a couple of moments.
"Do you know where you are?"
I do nothing.
More scraping.
"Do you know who I am?"
I do.
I do, but I don't.
It's someone I should know, but don't remember.
I strain to remember him.
"Hey, hey, don't strain yourself, okay? You gonna get more hurt if you do that. It's okay if you don't remember who I am, you should soon. I just want to gauge your neurological state as of now. I'm gonna put it down as you don't remember me, kay?"
I blink for 3 seconds.
The head of the figure moves and more scraping, before it stops.
The figures hand moves to their chest, and something is retrieved.
"Bright light now, hmmm?"
A click and then a light is shined into my eyes in turn, and what feels like a finger on my eyelid each time, gently lifting it up.
The bright light is replaced in the chest.
Something heavyish and soft is pulled down me, leaving the cold to settle on my skin.
Hands on my arms next, gently squeezing.
"Can you feel this?"
Blink.
He moves to the hand of that arm next.
"Can you feel this?"
Blink.
"This?"
He manipulates my arm gently.
Another blink.
He mirrors his actions on the opposite arm and the answers are the same.
The soft thing is pulled down more, and a hand on my tummy, pressing gently.
"This?"
Blink.
"This?"
Blink.
"Here?"
Blink.
"That's good."
He pulls the soft thing off more and repeats what he did on my arms on my legs and feet.
He gets to the second knee, and makes to extend it into a straight position.
But it doesn't move.
"Can you feel me squeezing it?"
Blink.
"Okay. Partial paralysis in the knee then, it seems."
More scraping.
The figure leans towards me.
A hand on my shoulder.
"You've done really well, Yeonjun-ssi. You're being so brave. Now I'm gonna make you go to sleep for a little while so you can rest and you're not in anymore pain."
I feel something happening against my hand, and then a sudden tiredness overwhelms me, blackness dripping at the edges of my vision.
"Close your eyes and go to sleep now sweetheart."
And hand covers my eyes as my eyes slide shut and I welcome the blackness that seeps over my vision...
