I couldn't believe I was in a coma for over a month. Things were a little hazy at first but everything came rolling in as the day progressed. It looked like this whole thing has taken it's toll on everyone, it looked like my parents hadn't slept in a while, the same with Veronica and Jug. But Toni looked like she took the brunt of it all, I had taken a few minutes to spend with each of my parents and my siblings to catch up on things.
My mom told me how Toni never left my side except when she would run to Betty or Archie's houses to shower since they lived the closest to the hospital. And as soon as she was showered and changed she was right back at my side. I still had so many questions for Toni and I hadn't sat down to talk just us two, but I knew I would have all night to talk to her since my parents said she was the one that stood overnights with me.
"Is there anything you want to eat you have to be starving" Dr. Rodriguez asked as he was checking out my vitals again. "Is she limited to anything specifically that she should be eating?" My mom asked. "She has lost a lot of weight so I want to try and regain that back. So I would say she can eat whatever she wants." I smiled "so does that mean I can have Pops?" My dad chuckled "if that's what you want baby girl, that's what we'll get." I nodded my head "can I get my usual, mom knows my order." My mom laughed "I'll call it in mija your dad and Jug can go pick it up."
I was still worried about my overall health, the last time Rodriguez came to check on me he wanted to see if I had feeling in my legs. When he poked at my feet I barely felt anything, when he pushed the pen deeper it still was faint. He told me not to worry that my body was still trying to process the trauma it went through. But I didn't want to worry myself, I knew I was resilient, if I could come out of being hit by a box truck and then ejected out of a car. I knew I would be able to get through this.
My hands were weak I couldn't even ball them into a fist and when I tried shooting pain went through my hands and up my arm causing me to almost scream. When my dad and Jug got back with our food I was so excited to eat. I tried to grab a French fry and bring it to my mouth but I lost grip of it and then the shooting pain hit me. I didn't say anything out loud just winced in pain. "Here babe let me feed you" Toni said grabbing me some fries and putting them in my mouth. It was still hard to swallow but it felt good to have food in my stomach.
Since for the last month I've been fed liquid through an IV. Toni cut up my burger in small pieces so it would be easier to eat. "Everything good mija?" My mom asked as she finished eating. "Yeah it's like I'm tasting things for the first time again, it's a weird feeling." I replied "everything is going to take time getting used to all over again baby girl, just take things a second at a time." My dad replied as he gathered everyone's trash.
We all sat and talked for another half hour before visiting hours were over. We all said our goodbyes my parents and siblings left and now it was just Toni and I. Our first time being alone all day. "Do you need anything?" Toni asked as she pulled out pajamas from her bag, along with a toiletries bag. "Could I get a Gatorade or water?" I responded. She nodded and walked out of my room, a few minutes later she walked back in with a Gatorade.
