Hope you are all well! Much love!
Liam sat as he waited to hear news about Niall. He only waited a little over 30 minutes like the surgeon had said when he saw him walking in to get him. "Hey!" Liam said as the surgeon walked up. "Hey! He did great! The surgery was a success! He is awake and he is asking for you, he actually hasn't stopped asking for you. If you want to follow me, I can take you back," the surgeon laughed and Liam laughed too. "Okay!" he said and followed the man to the room. "He's right in there. His voice isn't going to be great, so try and keep him from talking very much for a few days. Also, I have written out some care instructions for you that you'll get when he is ready to go home. We are going to keep him for observation for about an hour, and then he will be good to go. Just make sure he has plenty of liquids, ice cream, soups, soft foods for the next two weeks. You'll see more detailed instructions on the paperwork and the nurse will give you more information, I just wanted to give you a basic run down," the surgeon explained. "Okay doc! Thank you!" Liam said shaking his hand. "No problems at all!" the surgeon said and walked down the hall to start his next surgery.
Liam walked into the room and smiled at Niall who looked over at him. "Hey baby," Liam said as he sat down in the chair next to the bed. "Hi," Niall said with a very hoarse voice. "The surgeon said not to talk a whole lot, love," Liam told him as he kissed Niall on the nose. "I know," Niall said sadly, and Liam smiled at him. "Your voice will be back before long," Liam said to encourage Niall to rest his voice. Niall got an idea, and asked Liam for his phone that he had given his boyfriend to hold while he was in surgery. "I want to go home," Niall typed in his notes. "I know, love. Just an hour, and you can go," Liam said. "Why don't you go back to sleep, I'll wake you up when it's time to go," Liam smiled and Niall nodded. Niall didn't mind catching up on a little more sleep, he had barely gotten any the past week because his nerves kept him awake.
Niall napped for the hour he was under observation, and then the nurse came in to check everything over one last time. "Open up for me," she said as she looked to make sure everything was still looking good. "Okay! You're good to go! Here are some care instructions. Minimal talking for a few days, plenty of rest, lots of fluids, soft food diet for two weeks, and make sure he takes his medicine. All of the instructions are pretty self explanatory, but if you have any questions, concerns, or anything happens, don't hesitate to call!" the nurse said with a big smile as she handed everything to Liam. "Okay! Thank you so much!" he said as they walked Niall out to the car. "I have to stop by the pharmacy to get your medicine, do you want to get some ice cream or a milkshake?" Liam offered as Niall leaned tiredly against the door. Niall nodded in response. Since he had woken back up, the pain had started to set in, and Niall wasn't feeling good. "Okay, babe," Liam said as he ran into the pharmacy to pick up his meds. He got Niall a milkshake at the McDonald's drive in, and Niall drank half of it before falling back to sleep.
After they got back home, Liam carried Niall into their house and laid him on the couch. Luckily, they had stocked up on foods, drinks, and ice cream before the surgery, so Liam walked in the kitchen to get Niall some jello knowing he had to be hungry, since he hadn't eaten since dinner the night before. "Niall, baby. Wake up and take some medicine and eat," Liam said as he tapped Niall's shoulder lightly. Niall rubbed his eyes as he sat up, and swallowed down the medicine. He winced in pain as he swallowed, and a few tears ran down his face. "I know it hurts, love. I'm sorry," Liam said rubbing Niall's shoulder. "Try and eat this for me," Liam said getting a spoonful of the jello, and holding it up to Niall's mouth. Niall looked at him hesitantly, but eventually ate some of it. He finally finished the jello, and Liam helped him get comfortable again on the couch. Liam waited on him hand and foot, making sure he was healing well, for the next couple of weeks until Niall was completely healed. Niall made sure to thank him everytime he did something, and was so grateful he had such a caring and amazing boyfriend.
