On the plane ride home Marcus and I watched a scary movie and my mom took pictures and showed me the videos of my fights. I just didn't want to think about wrestling. That part of my life was over. I had to forget about it all. All of it. Whenever we got to off the plane I went home so we could put all of our clothes up and unpack our suitcases. Then we headed to our temporary home, the hospital. The doctor said the surgery had to be done tonight or she was just going to give out. I insisted they hurry then because I refuse to let her die. They gave me a room and stuffed me inside of a billion blankets because everyone said it was super cold inside of the surgery room. My mom was crying and she was worried about me. I kept telling her I was okay and I had to do this for Karen. She kissed me on the head and said "no matter what I want you to know you are an amazing wrestler. Don't forget that." Then I got a moment alone with Marcus. He came in and looked at me "Skye are you sure you are going to do this." I nodded. "I have to, I will not let her die." he replied, "But Skye wrestling and MMA is your life." I grabbed his hand and laughed "Marcus I know that but Karen, she is just, she has to live." He sat on the hospital bed with me and put his arm around me. "Skye you are just such a good person, it is my pleasure to be loved by you and I want you to do this. If this is what you want, promise me you will still love me when you get out of surgery." I glared at him with a confused look on my face. "Marcus I am losing a kidney, I am not losing my feelings I will have the same feelings for you, no matter what." Then while we were kissing the doctor came in and said "Sorry for interrupting but we have to start the surgery now." Marcus and my mom waved as they walked further down the halls. Then the doctor explained that he is going to give me a shot of amnesia and I will fall asleep and if I want to I can count down from 10 and I will probably be asleep by 6. So after they put the I.V. In I started counting and the last thing I could remember was saying "eight." When I woke up Marcus and Mom were the first things I saw. Mom asked how I felt and Marcus just hugged me. I replied "I am very sore, How is Karen." The nurse that was taking my I.V. out replied "She is just now getting out of surgery. She will be in recovery for about 3 hours and you can be the first person to be in the room and wait for her to wake up." I said Thanks, let me know when I can go." She said "Sure thing, you are a true hero you know." I nodded. Honestly I was so exhausted and I wanted to sleep but knowing Karen would be awake soon, I couldn't sleep. My mom brought in cherry jello and Marcus brought in my necklace so I could put if back on. He laid with me and waited while my mom talked to my doctors. Then they told me I could see her.
