Jinkx wakes up to a bright light while taking a big gasp of air and springing up from her pillow. She looks around the room in confusion and can't make sense of anything. She sees her mother sitting next to her with surprised eyes, "Jinkx oh my God! I need a doctor ...she's up!" The nurses rush in and the next thing she knows she's being poked and prodded and tries to form words, but can't and ends up yelping, "What's wrong with her?!" Her mother yells with tears forming in her eyes, "We'll explain it to you later ma'am but right now you'll need to step out of the room. A nurse escorts her out. Jinkx sees a tall man in a long white coat walk in, "It's been a while Jinkx. Can you do me a favor and sit up for me?" Jinkx sits up and the doctor brings a light back and fourth and she follows it with her eyes, "Can you touch your thumb to all of your fingers for me? Like this." The doctor does a demonstration then Jinkx follows the directions, "Can you get up and walk?" Jinkx attempts, but she feels her legs turn to jelly and almost falls down on her face if it wasn't for the doctor catching her, "So we'll start her on physical therapy tomorrow but today lets see if she can digest solids then we'll build up from there. Discharge her from the feeding tube and add these to her medications and take those off." The doctor rips off a piece of paper and hands it to the nurse. The nurse rushes out with the paper in her hands to change the order. Jinkx tries to say something, but all that comes out is sounds, "Jinkx hunny are you ok." Her mother asks Jinkx sits there in silence baffled by why she can't communicate, "This is normal in patients who have been in acoma for a long time. She'll be back to normal soon and we'll have a computer in here soon so she can type out what she wants to say after a couple days of therapy. Her brain will be making connections in no time." Her mother smiles  and reassuringly rubs Jinkx's hand. Jinkx pulls away and sighs. She wants to know where Adore is... She needs her.
