Trapped in Ophelia's Body

It's just popcorn...

Song: Don't let me fall By Lenka

I have to stay in the hospital another night even when I begged to go home. But no matter how much I beg it doesn't work. Thankfully all the swelling went down and the ride home was not the greatest but either way I am home. My dad has to help me out of the car and into the wheelchair. It's only for a little while they say. He pushes me up to the steps and huffs. "This is going to be fun." He looks around for the easiest access into the house.

"Honey we can go through the back it may be easier," my mom tells him. So he takes her advice and we go around the back to the patio. It sucks having them push me around where ever I need to go. I don't want them to have to wait on me hand and foot but it looks like I don't have much of a choice here.

"Can you just take me to my room please?" I ask as they are trying to move furniture around for me to get through.

"Are you sure?" my mom asks.

"Yes...just help me to my room I will be fine." Of course I will be fine. I love my four walls, my bed and my pillow. They push me down the hallway and into my room then help me into my bed. I cover myself up and just lay there looking up at the ceiling.

"Would you like me to turn the TV on for you?"

"No...I like the quietness of my room...really I will be fine."

Both of them smile at me and then leave but leave the door cracked so they can hear me if I have to call out for them. Like if I have to go to the bathroom or something, I hate people doing stuff for me I really do.

Later that night my dad comes into me room. "Hey you ready for something to eat?"

"Sure...can I eat in here though...I just don't feel like moving?"

"I guess it will be alright for tonight but tomorrow you got to get up and move alright." He leaves then returns again with a plate of food. When I am finished I set it on the table beside me and go to sleep.

The next day my dad comes back in the room. "Rise and shine and yes you are getting up."

I groan, "Dad...seriously just let me sleep."

"No...you need to get up it's already going on noon and I don't want you in here all day besides you have a visitor."

"A visitor, who?" I smile because I already knowing who it is, I mean really who else would come to visit.

"You will never know if you don't get up so come on let's go." He helps me out of the bed and to the bathroom. "You sure you got this?" he asks.

"Yes...I will be fine dad." I roll my eyes at him. He waits in the hallway for me. When I am done he comes back in and helps me roll the wheel chair into the living room. They have already rearranged all the furniture. Guess that is what they did yesterday. I hear him talking to my mom in the kitchen.

"I will be right back alright." He leaves and goes into the kitchen and then out walks Kodiak and Kia running past him towards me.

"You are ok...wow...this is cool I want to ride on it," he says as he runs around me. "Kody says you were in a bad wreck but you are strong and you are ok and this is cool...look at the big wheels wow." Kia goes on and on.

Kodiak rolls his eyes at him. "Sorry he wanted to see you," he starts laughing.

"It's ok...I like that you and Kia came to see me."

"He wanted to know if you wanted to play with the dinosaurs I told him maybe next time so he left them at home."

Kia interrupts, "That's because you told me to leave them at home...I want to play with Oh-phelia...she likes to play with me but no...you said..."
