    Author Notes:

    Chapter 15

    She had first been placed on a ventilator but she had not needed any surgery to relieve the pressure that had built up. She could breathe on her own and had been allowed to do so. She was moved out of intensive care and onto a private ward.
    Physically, she was in good shape but she had taken a terrible knock and her body’s reaction was to shut down in order to heal. 
    The ordeal had now gone on for two weeks.
    Dr Dana Fairbanks had arrived on the ward and was making her way to the patient’s room. She was one of the hospital’s physiotherapist and had been assigned to work with the coma patient from the moment it had been cleared by the trauma team and the head of neurosurgery.
    Because comatose patients are immobile, it is imperative for them to receive some form of physical treatment on a daily basis. 
    Dana had drawn up a set of exercises which involved moving the patient’s limbs and some form of massage.
    It is important that muscles remain strong and that atrophy does not set in but it is also equally important to keep their blood circulation going. This in turn will greatly benefit recovery if and when it occurs. If the muscles are continuously stimulated, the person who will emerge from a coma will have a greater time beginning to walk or move around.
    But to a degree, Dr Fairbanks was also of the belief that physiotherapy for comatose patients played another important role, besides physical. Yes it would help recovery once wakefulness had been achieved but the simple contact of the human touch coupled with some basic human communication had proven to be a catalyst in the awakening of a comatose patient. 
    Everyday, Dr Fairbanks had done exactly that. A compassionate physiotherapist, she had worked for hours with her patient, massaging her muscles, exercising them, talking to her and trying to bring her out from her comatose state.
    She had finished her session with the patient and was now busy writing her notes on the chart she had retrieved from the bottom of the bed. She remained concentrated on her task carefully detailing the extent of the work she had carried out then took a moment looking at her patient. She had rolled her on onto her side, to avoid pressure points and bed sores which evidently painful in their own right, were also a potential source of infection. Anything that could hinder recovery had to be avoided at all cost.
    This woman had become a bit of a celebrity on this ward. For the past two weeks and apart from staff responsible for her care, she had only ever received the visit of one person. Granted that person had visited everyday without fail but no one else had claimed her as their own. 
    Dana looked back down on the chart which bore the name of the patient and read. JANE DOE.
    "Will we ever find out who you are?" Dana thought to herself.

    1. Okay, I’m slightly confused… Is this woman, Jane Doe, simply not Tina? Or have we done a bit of a time jump here and gone back to the past? Because Dana’s been in the story from the early chapters… and I can’t figure Bette’s involvement/attachment to this patient. I’ll be looking for the next post. thanks for the chapter! :)

    5. Okay, I’m confused too. Was Tina dreaming her encounter with Bette? Dreaming she was best friends with Dana? Was Bette her partner before the crash and Dana, being so close to her during her treatment, was now her best friend in her comatose state? Was she dreaming she couldn’t see Bette because she’s comatose but knows she’s there with her? All the questions I have. Hopefully you will answer them. I’ll just have to keep reading to find out. Please post again.

    9. Ok my guess…..Bette was involved in the accident in some way and so that’s why she keeps visiting Tina, Tina’s been in a coma but has some brain activity which is how she’s come to knwo Bette’s voice etc but can’t see her, and that’s how she’s come to see Dana as her friend because she’s the one who’s helping her. How did I do?

    12. Huh?? I am lost…Apparently not alone! too many questions and possibilities go through my mind. And… I guess better to wait to read your next post Kins40! So please…. Please…. Pretty please… :-) PPVS … Thanks!!

    22. Hmmm. There are some very interesting suggestions in comments about what could be happening. I can’t wait to see what it is. I am wondering why they don’t have a name for this woman if she has a visitor every day. Why don’t they ask the visitor who she is? Or did the visitor meet her after the accident so they don’t know either? So many questions…..please post soon.

    23. Hey kins, I am totally confussed. Looking back I think that BealsBaby is on the money. Tina’s relationships with Bette and Dana are from hearing their voices and she has woven them into her dreams. WHatever happens it is a great ride so please post more soon. Many thanks from this curve ball. Your Loyal Fan.
