Med Force One-Tales of Recovery

[Veronee]

Nin awoke after her eye surgery. She had been nervous at first. The idea of someone poking her face made her uncomfortable.

The doctor had reassured her yet still she was nervous.
She blinked rapidly as her eye adjusted to the harsh lighting in the room. The nurse was dutifully by her side as ever.
She let out a deep long breath.

"Anistetic sleep is the best" she muttered to the nurse. She could feel parts of her body dhe hadn't in ages. She stretched her neck and let out a deep breath of pleasure.
"I don't suppose there is any chance in some coffee?" She said turning to the nurse.
The nurse opened her mouth to speak.
"For the love of all things good, I went through all of this I don't think some damn coffee is gonna kill me!"
The nurse jumped a little startled at the outburst before leaving the room.

Finnally Nina was alone. A wracking sob took her before she could control it. Guilty, tired and depressed she wished ferently that Egweneth was lying in this bed and not her.
Thinking of Egweneth and what had happened there brought fresh waves of emotional pain to her. She closed her eyes trying to remember the happy times they had together..

She managed to wipe her tears when the nurse returned with a small mug and a straw. She pushed herself up slightly to get more comfortable and she was getting sick of this damn bed.
The nurse held the straw to her lips and she sipped slowly.
The taste of the lukewarm coffee filled her mouth and she felt a new wave of energy.
The coffee was terrible, too sweet, too milky and only lukewarm but gods it tasted great.
She slowly took all of it in before smiling a little and sinking back onto the bed.

"I'm sorry I shouted at you Michael, this has been... Rough for me" she said turning her head away feeling ashamed.
The nurse shrugged and merely said she thought she could understand.
Determined to stay awake she asked the nurse to put a decent movie on and if she did fall asleep again, to ask the doctor when she could start walking around again.
