Chapter 7

Taylor's P.O.V.

A famous author once said life is simple, but it's just not easy

After signing in they led us to a room and we waited inside. I was on the table and he was sitting on a chair near me

"It's going to take longer waiting than for Dr. Rhodes to see me" I said swinging my leg

He chuckled "Yea"

We heard a knock on the door and Dr. Rhodes walked in "Taylor, how have you been?"

"Good"

He took out something from his file "This is your X-ray we took just last week" He pinned it up for us to see "This part of the fracture is healing but this other part isn't healing as well, if as fast" He said pointing to it

"So how long will it take? I mean I know it's not going to heal the way it should. But how long until I get this brace off?" I asked

"Well you keep resting that leg, elevating it when you should be. It will be soon until you get the brace off" He explained

"So what about when it comes off? How will she be? Will be be feeling any pain?" Antonio asked

"She won't be feeling pain. But discomfort maybe. Now after that brace comes off there are going to be things you won't be able to do as before"

"Such as?" I asked

"Well running definitely"

"There goes my morning workouts" I sniffed

"What about boxing?" Antonio asked

"Boxing she can do. But let's say a boxing match where she's dancing around the ring. That she can't do"

"What would happen?" I asked

"Well you start to feel discomfort than it gets even worse. Trust me from what I heard from patients it isn't a good feeling" Dr. Rhodes explained with a small chuckle

I nodded "I will remember that. Thanks"

He nodded "Other than that. Your good to go. If you need anything or anything goes wrong you call me. No hesitation"

"No hesitation. Got it" I gave him a nod

"Take care" He said as he opened the door and walked out. Antonio and I walked out of Med and headed to his car

"Listen, there's this great pizza place I know a few blocks away from here. I was wondering if you want to eat? I know it's only 9 o'clock but"

"I love pizza in the morning, but I promised Shay I would meet her at this diner after my appointment"

He nodded after we got inside the car "It's okay"

"But we can have that pizza for lunch" I said looking at him with a smile

He turned his head to look at me after starting the engine "Okay, sounds good. Text me when your finished"
