Shots

Chapter Two

"Well that is to be expected, Mr Cohen. You were shot in the chest area and you lost a lot of blood before the paramedics could get you stabilized," said the nurse, looking at me closely. "But why am I having so much trouble remembering? I can barely remember anything from more than a few hours ago... I can still remember who I am and who my parents are. I remember my life, but it's like I'm missing parts of my memories..." I said in a long stream of worry. "Well you were losing a lot of blood Mr Cohen. Your brain was deprived of oxygen for a while, but there is no permanent damage. You should be back to normal after a little while," she said with a sympathetic smile. "But for now, you need some more rest. Mrs Cohen, I'm afraid that visiting times are over, you'll have to leave, but you can come back again tomorrow," she said addressing Mae. "Ok nurse, thank you for the information on Isaac's condition. I'll be back again tomorrow Ike," she said getting up from her seat next to my bed. "Mae? Can you come back as early as possible? I want to spend as much time as I can with you... I want to remember again. I want to remember who I was, who we were. I want to love you like you deserve to be loved again. I can't remember who you were, but I think I feel the way I felt when I first met you..." I said as Mae was getting her things together. She looked at me with a loving smile, as if she knew that I was trying to break out of my mental prison. "Sure. I'll be here at seven-fifteen sharp, in time for the very first visiting hours. Is that good with you?" she said as she came closer to give me a kiss on the forehead. "Yes, Thank you Mae." I said suddenly feeling really tired. 'Wow, why am I getting so drowsy... It must be all the painkillers they're pumping into me...'
