    Chapter 2

    CHAPTER 2
    She remembered that night as if it were yesterday. The blast had thrown her out of danger but the fall had knocked her out when her head hit the hard rocky ground. She did not recall those details herself; those were the words the emergency room staff had shared with her once she regained consciousness in hospital.
    She could still hear the regular beeping noise of the life monitoring machines and the voices of the trauma team shouting firm commands around her. Reassuring voices were also telling her, where she was and what they were doing to her. Her head was bandaged, her eyes covered. She could not see, she could only hear and feel……the pain…the excruciating pain in her head, arms and legs. Her whole body hurt.
    "I am going to give you something to take the pain away," one of the reassuring voices had said. "We placed an IV in your right hand, you may feel a slight burn but the pain will soon go away" the same voice had told her.
    The voice was right. As soon as the painkiller was pushed through the IV she was soon enveloped by a warm feeling, her head swirling almost.
    The caring voice had returned, "what’s your name, if you can hear me, tell me your name?" but she remembered feeling herself drifting away carried on a wave of warmth and weightlessness. She did not fight it, she was so comfortable and almost completely detached from her reality she relinquished her ties to her aching body and fell asleep.
    As she sat on her bed, regaining control of her heartbeat, she pushed all thoughts of that night out of her mind. Her head was throbbing. She closed her eyes tightly and pinched the bridge of her nose in an effort to clear the pain behind her eyes. She knew it was no use. The stabbing pain she was experiencing at this very moment was always the inevitable consequence of the stress brought on by the dream.
    She swung her legs to the side of the bed and felt for her slippers with her feet. She knew better than to walk barefoot. As she lifted herself from the bed, she automatically extended her left arm out and felt the wall. As she started walking, the back of her hand traced along the wallpaper lightly. When her hand felt a door frame and then cold tiles, she knew she had reached the bathroom. She put her left hand forward counted five steps and her hand found the porcelain of the sink. She carefully swung her body around the curve of the sink and lifted her right hand to open the medicine cabinet above it. As she opened the mirrored cabinet door the light around the mirror clicked on and the gentle buzzing of the tungsten filaments sounded in the night. Despite the soft glow of the light, she felt her way along the shelves of the medicine cabinet and retrieved a small orange plastic container. She swiftly ran her finger on the label to feel the now familiar raised dots on the label. She had found what she was looking for.
    She took the prescription painkillers and retraced her steps out of the bathroom, through her bedroom and out into the corridor. She headed for her kitchen, her left hand still tracing along the wall as she went.
    In the kitchen, she helped herself to a glass of water. Curling her index finger over the edge of the glass she was able to judge how much water to pour. She swallowed two tablets and moved in the direction of the living room where she slumped down on the sofa. 
    She touched the watch on her left wrist and a low robotic voice informed her that the time was 4.22am. Sleep would not come to her again tonight she told her herself.
    She reclined in the cushions and waited for the painkillers to take effect, she thought about her life over the past two years. She had spent a long time in hospital recovering from her injuries and considering the severity of the accident she had been left pretty much unscathed. The only thing was she would never be allowed to see it for herself as the accident had robbed her of her sight.
    She was still holding the prescription container in her hand and unconsciously ran her finger over the little dots on the label. The Braille symbols spelt the content of the box and her name. With the tip of her finger, she deciphered the symbols:
    C A U T I O N – A N T A L G I C   P R E S C R I P T I O N
    F O R  U S E  B Y  N A M E D  P A T I E N T  B E L O W:
    At that moment she heard her alarm clock in her bedroom. She yawned loudly to shake herself out of her reverie and got up from the sofa.
    "Let’s go turn off this annoying alarm clock and get ready to face the day," she said out loud to no one in particular.

    9. While reading,I automatically had Tina in my mind. Never thought of it being Bette. Now it will be interesting to see if your words fit my assumptions.

    10. When I first started reading I thought that the accident person was either Bette or Tina, but now that the woman is blind, it can be any of the L word ladies, even Jenny or Jodi.

    11. Hi kins40, So much mystery remains as you allow little snippets of information to be revealed. The consequences of the accident are far reaching and have completely changed this woman’s life. It is so beguiling and beautifully written. Thank you so much for the courage to share your story with me. A Fan.
