I awoke on an uncomfortable bed, swimming in the awful burning smell of antiseptic, I heard the annoying beep of the heart monitor and the drip of fluid, my left arm was cold where the IV feed into my veins, my head was in a fog and nothing seemed to be right. I looked around and could tell I was not in the same room as earlier. This room had a real wall that blocked view of the hallway, though the door was open allowing all the noise from the nurses' station to drift in. I could hear the gossip of the day, hear the click of keys are reports were entered into the computer, I could hear people asking about loved ones, hear the icy voice I knew belonged to my doctor. The icy voice was telling the nurses to keep an eye on me that I was still in a fragile state. He told them to page him when I awoke and to check my vitals every hour. I slowly drifted back into the fog that surrounded me and let myself drift back into sleep. I felt the touch of a cold hand on my arm and knew it must be time for a vitals check, sure enough when I opened my eyes there was a nurse, her hair fell around her round face in soft brown waves, her round eyes showed kindness and hope. "Oh, your awake, I'm sorry if I woke you. My name is Rebecca I'll be your nurse tonight, how are you feeling?" I managed to croak out a fine before I gave up on talking. "Well that's good." She smiled as she said this, "your vitals are strong, and there is no fever, I'm going to get Dr. Hasty and then you should be able to see your family."
As she left I suddenly realized how much I wanted to see my family and as I sat there and thought about how much I missed my sister Ana, and my parents I also realized there was another person I would have to consider my family, because at least to me he was family, Kent, I hope he is here, I know he was here at least once, though I may have made that up. Just thinking about him made my heart feel like it was being ripped from my chest, I heard the heart rate monitors annoying beeping speed up and took a few deep breaths to calm myself down. I calmed myself by learning the room, I was in a single room in what looked like a recovery ward, I was hooked up to a heart monitor, a oxygen pump, and IV that had three bags of clear liquid flowing into it. I looked over and noticed that I had a window I could see out of from where I was in bed; I looked out and noticed it was dark, I wish the hospital wasn't in the middle of the city, because then I would've been able to see the stars, just as I was wishing about being home and being able to see the stars, Dr. Hasty walked in.
"Glad to see you're awake Lyndal, I just want to check on you before I let your family back here to see you. How are you feeling?" I mumbled and okay and he smiled, how a person with such a cold voice could and such really freezing hands could have such a warm smile was beyond me. "Let's see, your vitals see to be good, no complaints, so I guess I can let you see your family now." With that Dr. Hasty left, and I sat there waiting. As I waited for my family to visit, I started to drift back to sleep. Then they walked in, first Ana followed by mom and dad, and then Kent. I felt like all the pain and suffering from the past month had all just been a bad dream, I couldn't help but smile at the sight of them.
