Tw- Mentions of scars.

It was about 2 in the morning now. The medbay was quiet , few staff lurked around checking on people the soft beep of the monitors in your room filling that void of quietness that was apparent in the air. You slept lightly , your soft breath quiet and sound and your senses calmed. You needed this. You stood curled up , the blanket that graves had given you lay on top of you keeping you warm and your heart slowed as you were sleeping.

You shuffled in your sleep as you heard the door to your room open but you didn't mind it as you weren't fully awake. Your eyes slowly started to open as you heard the soft patting sounds of footsteps come closer and as your vision came back to you and you became more aware of your surroundings you saw it was a woman but more so , a nurse. She wore pink scrubs with a white long sleeve under shirt along with her medical badge clipped onto her pants. She wore bright blue gloves and had a mask on as most nurses or doctors did , some didn't. She rolled in a small metal table that held a roll of soft yet thick cotton bandages , gauze and some disinfectant.

The light from the hallway illuminated into your room causing you to squint your eyes, waking you up more. She flicked on the light to your room and raised your hand up to your face to cover your eyes from the blinding lights.
"Hey sweetie ,I'm dr green. I work as one of the nurses here. I just came in to change your bandages."
She says softly as she moves the table closer to the bed. You looked up at her with tired eyes and she walked over to you holding a soft look.
"I'm just gonna sit you up okay ? You're gonna hand your legs off the edge of the bed and sit straight so I can change your bandages."
She informed you as she gently placed her hands under your arms and helped you sit up.

As she helped you sit up you looked around blinking your eyes as you were trying to get used to the change in quick lighting.
"Imma need you to lift your arms a little okay ?"
She spoke as she gently placed her hands near your side and lifted your hospital gown to get and started unraveling the old bloody bandages that you wore. You felt the warmth of her fingertips as she gently started to take off your dirty and bloody bandages. As she finished taking off the bandages you felt the cold air hit your skin. You looked down to see the line of stitches that were along your side. The flesh around it was red and puffy as it was a little irritated from you moving around and there were some dried up , crusty blood spots as she fully removed the bandage.

You looked down at your closed wound and you saw just how bad it really was and a small frown came upon your face. As the nurse prepared the disinfectant she saw your look and immediately new what was up as she had sent that look one to many times.
"Your scars show you what you went through and how you overcame it , it shows your journey on how you combatted your issues and overcame them."
She says gently and you give a small nod.
"Regardless of your scars you are still human and you will always shine bright regardless of the darkness , when your trapped in the darkness always look to the light."
She spoke and you gave a small smile.
"Thank you...means a lot , been through Shit and also look like it but yeah..."
You say quietly.

"Don't worry , now just know this is gonna sting okay ? I'm gonna clean around your wound okay."
She spoke as she gently took a wipe and put rubbing alcohol on it and gently started to clean around your stitches. You winced as you felt the sting of the rubbing alcohol, the string scent filling your norstils as it overwhelmed your senses. The coolness on your skin being more apparent as it felt light and airy. She rubbed around it cleaning your wound as best as possible and she then gently put gauze on it and started to wrap around the wound with fresh new bandages , the soft white cotton feeling soft against your skin.

You stood silent letting the nurse do her job properly and to help you and you waited until she gave you the okay to be able to go back to doing what you were doing. She wrapped your bandages and tucked the little piece that was left into another piece of the bandage and now you were finally done.
"You're good to go , I'll be back in here to check on you in a few hours and to give you some breakfast okay sweetie."
She gave you a soft smile as she helped you back into bed.

"Thanks..."
You spoke quietly as you draped the blanket over you again and tried getting comfortable.
"If you need me just ring us In and one of the other nurses or doctors will come to aid."
She inquiry's before stepping out of the room leaving you alone. You got comfortable and waited a few minutes before letting sleep overtake your system again letting you fall into the void that took away your worry's as you body re charged.

**********

Hours passed , the bright light from the outside creating a soft hue of light as your room illuminated with light. You shuffled around and  rubbed your eyes as you felt your body starting to turn on and wake up. You streatched your arms a bit , trying not to stretch to much to the point your side would hurt more and you scratched your head a little as you looked around. You looked at the clock that was set upon the wall and it read 8:30 am. You sighed before lifting yourself up in bed. You swing your legs over the edge and you lifted yourself up gently , you winced as you did so as you were still very sore and not in any shape to be walking but the day must go on.

You held onto the bar of the medical bed and you tried walking , only managing to walk a few inches before you felt the pain kick up and you fell back into bed. You huffed and moved the wires around and the tubes that were on your arm that were holding your IV and you remembered what the nurse had said last night and you saw a small red button near your bed and you eyed it. As much as you didn't want help you needed it and you weren't getting out of bed for nothing without some help.

"Really......c,mon all I gotta do is use that bathroom..."
You say quietly to yourself as you now decided against pushing the button and you kept trying to stand up. You stood yourself up for a moment again before a light bulb went off in your head and you got an idea. You stood up but you grabbed onto the chair that was next to your bed and you started to use it as a walker almost to help you stand up. You used the chair and you held onto it and you pushed yourself towards the door in your room that led to the bathroom and you made sure you took the IV tube that was still attached to you an you brung everything with including the water bag that was attached to your iv in order to make sure no alarms went off.

You waltzed your way into the bathroom and you closed the door behind you , you looked to see the toilet and you quickly lifted out gown and you went over and did your buiness , the only noise being heard was the sound of your stream. After a few seconds you flushed and finished up and you went over to the sink and you saw tha bags under your eyes , your hair was slightly matted and tangled and we can't forget the lovely hospital gown. You sighed seeing how bad in shape you were but you really couldn't do much due to your injury's. You wanted to leave and you wanted out but for now it was a waiting game.

For one's better days wait to be seen for thou shall wait and be keen.
