All In My Head

Chapter 15

About another week passed, I went through rehab and regained my strength, finally, everything was going back to normal. Today is the day I will be discharged. I packed up everything I had here at the hospital and threw it all into a bag. At around 12 they brought me my lunch and I ate alone, everyone else went down to the cafeteria to get something to eat. I sat in silence, thinking about what it will be like when I go back home. I was still really confused about everything I saw while in the coma, was it all real? or was only a part of it real and the rest a dream? And what was real and what was fake? All these questions were floating around my brain and I wanted the answers. My thoughts were interrupted by Josh walking into my room. "We're leaving soon" he said, "Are you ready?" he asked. "Yup, just gotta finish eating" I answered while stuffing more soup into my mouth. We sat in silence as I slurped down my soup. I quickly finished it and Josh took my bowl away. I grabbed whatever my family had brought to the hospital and threw it into a box. There wasn't much, a few pictures, my phone, a blanket and a couple pillows. Josh grabbed the box for me and Ivy helped me walk down the hall. Once we made it downstairs, I thanked all the nurses and the staff for everything and I walked outside. The fresh air was so nice, I felt like I could finally breathe again. We walked to the car and we all jumped in. I looked out the window as we drove home, it was nice to be here again. Once home, I went up to my room and grabbed some clean clothes and went to the bathroom to clean myself up. I felt so gross. I showered, put some sweatpants and a sweatshirt on and brushed out my hair. I walked over to my computer afterwards and looked through everything I missed, I checked my emails, scrolled through social media and caught up on everyone's lives. Afterwards, I went downstairs and chilled on the couch with my family, we watched some TV, laughed, talked, like everything was back to normal. It's so nice to be back.

We had a relaxing afternoon, I didn't leave my spot on the couch. Once dinner rolled around, we ordered Chinese food and man, did that taste so much better than the hospital food I've been eating. We didn't talk much while we ate, I think everyone was glad to be eating something other than the hospital food. After we ate, I went upstairs to get ready for bed. I changed into my pajamas and crawled under the covers. My bed was so comfortable compared to the hospital bed. I sat there for a few minutes before drifting off to sleep. I'm glad that's over, I hope I never go through that again. The last thing I remember is me replaying the image of me falling, I watched it happen over and over again in my head. I took a deep breath and relaxed. "It's over" I told myself. I'm okay now, there's no need to worry. And finally, I fell into a deep slumber, but this time, I knew I was going to wake up.
