Dana opened her eyes, slowly, which, to her, was surprisingly painful. She was in a room that was so bright that she thought she was dead. The only thing that assured her she wasnt dead was the pain that shot through her body as she sat up.

About time you woke up, said a familiar voice. For a second Dana thought it was Alice.

Alice?

Who? No, its me Gina. Thought you werent going to wake up. You fainted as soon as we landed and since you were sitting so close to the plane opening, you fell out.

Oh, Dana said as she looked at her left leg, which was in a cast, thinking how she could be so clumsy.

Dont worry, youll be able to walk again, Gina got up from her chair and walked over to Danas bed. Doctor said its not good for you to sit up until hes sure you havent punctured or broken anything else. Plus it must hurt like a bitch because youre entire left side is bruised. So, lay back down.

Now, to get the best results for the ultrasound, you have to have a full bladder, so youre going to have to hold it for a while. Okay?
