Tina had called Kit and the girls to tell them Bette was awake. It wasnt long before they were all there. Shortly Bette was moved to her own room so they were all able to visit her together. Bette just looked at everyone as they fell into their normal routine of chatting about everything and nothing. Laughing and joking when Bette took Tinas hand and squeezed it a bit hard. Tina let out a yelp. Owie She turned and looked at Bette. You ok Babe? Bette didnt answer. Bette let go of Tinas hand with her left and grabbed her head. I’m so sorry Baby. We were just all so excited to see you awake and alright. I guess we got carried away.

Shane stood up and said maybe we should go and let Bette gets some rest. With that everyone agreed. Kit had to get back to the Planet for the show tonight. Alice, Dana, Shane and Kit all kissed Bette good bye and left.

Tina sat down gently on the bed beside Bette and ask her again. Baby, are you feeling ok. Should I get the nurse? Bette nodded her head no. Tina ask if her throat was still hurting. Again Bette nodded no. Is your head hurting? Bette nodded yes. Tina pushed the button for the nurse. Instead Dr. Bruch came in.

Well how are you feeling Bette? Bette just placed her left hand on her head and pouted. Dr. Bruch looked down at her and said ok. I’m going to do a few tests ok. Now, do you know where you are? Bette nodded no. Ok thats fine. Youre in the hospital Bette. You had to have surgery to remove a tumor on your brain. We got all of it and you are going to be ok.

Now how about telling me what year it is. Bette opened her mouth to speak but just looked at Dr. Bruch. Take your time. Do you know what year it is? Bette mouthed the sound, T. Ok Bette that good. Now I want you to take my finger and squeeze as hard as you can with both hands. Bettes right arm didnt move.
