A new chapter

[Doc Holliday]

While the nurse was attending to her, Doc entered the room and took a seat next to Lea.
"Ms. Kaufman, I heard you were awake." He turned to the nurse. "How are her recent vitals?"
The nurse gave them to him and he nodded his approval.
"Let us take a look," he told her as he pulled the sheets away from her legs. The nurse was present taking notes.
"Right now things should not hurt with the meds I have you on but tell me if you feel anything," he told her. He was poking a few spots. "You might feel pressure and even some discomfort but no pain." He finished his poking and ran a bio scan over the area. Once done, he pulled the blankets back over.

"Ms. Kaufman it is very early but things appear normal," he began. "I know you do not want to be told that you are going to be here for awhile but you will be. Please, give yourself some time to heal up and build your strength. Some physical therapy will be needed as you basically have new knee joints."

He could see the disappointment in her face. "You are safe here. In a day or two I can authorize you going ambulatory around the hospital." He looked over at the nurse. "She will be able to make that happen. You will be able to enjoy some of our facilities here. Food, drink, piano bar and such."
He sat back and relaxed, taking a genuine interest in her. "Can I get you anything? Is there anyone I can get ahold of for you?"
