"Will I tell the girls that you or one of your colleagues will be round to give them the scan results this evening or what?" Michelle asked feeling rather what smug that she had gotten to the doctors.

"Yes." was all that Doctor Lee said before he and the other doctor walked out the door, leaving Michelle inside with a rather large smile on her face.

Chapter 11

Michelle went into explain all about Alice going for the ECG scan.

"Hi Alice later we are sending you for an ECG scan which is used to record the electrical activity of the heart. This is done by sticking electrodes, a bit like plasters, to the arms, legs and chest. This test won’t hurt at all and I will be coming down to the scanning room with you." Michelle explained.

That afternoon while Dana was at the gym training Alice and Michelle went down to the ECG scan room. Alice was in one room hooked up with wires coming from every part of her body. The wires were hooked up to a machine beside the bed. Michelle and a few nurses and a doctor were in another room but Alice could see the chatting through the glass window. One of the nurses came in and stared the scan all Alice had to do was lay there and open and close her eyes when they told her to do so. After awhile of doing that the nurse then brought in a small strobe light while Alice had to look at, it hurt her head but she had to look at it anyway. Opening and closing her eyes every few minutes, she thought this was never going to stop when she heard Michelle come in the room.

"Well Alice that’s us all done, we just need to wait till the porters come to take us back to the ward." Michelle said.

"When I get back can I get another wash please?" Alice asked she had been washed that morning before Dana had came in but she felt she needed to wash again. Michelle nodded and soon the porters were there to take them back upstairs. Once settled back in Michelle came in with another nurse and helped Alice get washed. They then pulled out the back rest and built the pillows up around her and gently rested her against them. To Alice this was a great big step to be up sitting again, it felt so good and she couldn’t wait to see Dana’s face when she walked in the room. Michelle waited in the room for a bit just to make sure Alice didn’t feel sick or dizzy. The cot sides were still up, and to tell the truth Alice felt safe that they were. Michelle left just before Dana walked back in the room. The look on her face when she saw Alice sitting up in bed was indescribable. She walked over to the bed and captured Alice’s lips in a long loving kiss.
