Sheo Forever

Chapter 23 - Born Ready

Sorry it has taken forever guys! i got back from camp a few days ago and yeah. SO here it is.

Shai POV

The last few days have been hard to say the least. I fell out of bed the day after I got home from the hospital because I forgot about my leg being in a cast halfway up my leg. The cast on my leg stops just below my knee, and the one on my arm stops at my elbow. The bruising on my ribs has gone and my head no longer hurts.

When Theo and I got home from the hospital, he carried me to the couch, and we started to look for houses to buy. We found a few that we liked, but haven’t really found the perfect house yet.

When I wake up, the bed is empty and cold. I turn my head and see Theo isn’t in bed. I turn my head to face the bedside table and look at the clock. 8:17 AM. I see a note attached to the table as well.

Babe,
I’ve gone out for a run. Should be back around 8:40.
Ring me if you need to get out of bed, please! Don’t do anything!!!!
I love you,
Theo

I smile at the piece of paper in my hand. I read it a few times before putting it back.

I throw the covers off me and sit up in bed. I really have to pee! There is no point ringing Theo because I think he needs some time to himself. He has done everything for me; cooking, cleaning, dressing me, washing me, taking me to the toilet…EVERYTHING. He really needs a break so I figured I can at least give him this.

If I can make it to the bathroom by myself, I’m pretty much halfway there, so it should be all good.

I place my left foot on the ground, and slowly lift my right leg off the bed. The cast makes my right leg higher and heavier than the left. I extend my left leg so it is straight and my heel is digging into the ground, and I lift my broken leg off the ground. With all my might, I push myself off the bed with my right arm and land on the hard floor with a ‘humph’.

Keeping my right leg and left arm off the floor, I slowly move my body so I am laying on my belly. I army crawl out of the bedroom and into the bathroom. It takes a bit of work, but I finally make it. Once I am in the bathroom, I lift the toilet lid up, and turn back so I am sitting on my butt. With all my strength, I push myself off the bath and manage to sit on the toilet, still with clothes on.

I stand on one leg, and pull my shorts, along with my underwear, down. I sit back on the toilet and do my business. While I am on the toilet, I catch my breath because I will sort of have to do it all again to go back to the bedroom on to downstairs.

Once I’m finished, I stand on my left leg, and pull my bottoms up. I hop over to the sink and rinse my hands after flushing the toilet.

I open the door of the bathroom and slide down the wall to a sitting position again. I roll onto my stomach and make my way, army crawling with one arm, to the stairs. Once I reach the stairs, I flip myself over so I am on my butt and grab hold on the vertical rails of the banister.
