In a whisper, “My head hurts.”
“I am sure that it does. You have a nasty lump on the side of your head, above and behind your left ear, where your head made contact with what the police believe was the metal bumper of the SUV that hit you. You had a slight bleed in your brain that thankfully corrected itself. The swelling in your brain has decreased over the last 24 hours as well. As the swelling continues to subside, you will continue to regain your strength, your speech and your movement. You may even feel up to eating this wonderful hospital food in a day or two.” They all smile. “ Another reason we were hesitant to give you too much pain medication was, we wanted to make sure that the drugs were not prolonging your coma and that it was in fact the injury. We can definitely get you something a little stronger for your headache. Do either of you have any questions?”
Bette holds Tina’s hand as they look at each other. They shake their heads no.
Tina is trying to tell Bette something. It is sooooo hard for her to speak, “Baby.”
“Yes Tina.”
With all of the strength Tina could summons, “I … took care … of … the … last … thing … I needed … to. I … want … to … come home.”
“Kate was here.” Bette smiled, knowing the piece of business that Tina needed to take of.
Tina looked at Bette for some evidence of anger but there was none. “She said that you were talking to her when the accident happened. She said that you sounded happy. I want you to be happy. T …. I want us both to be happy! Angelica and I can’t wait for you to come home. OUR HOME…..”
The nurse returns with a syringe that she empties into Tina’s IV. “Miss Porter, you have had a few long days. You need your rest as well. I assure you that Miss Kennard will rest very comfortably tonight. May I suggest that you go home and do the same. Tomorrow is a new day and I think we have a lot of progress to look forward to. Miss Kennard has done better than I think anyone would have thought she would. At least, this soon. She is very lucky that she is otherwise very healthy and strong. Resiliency is a perk that you sometimes dismiss. It was a very important part of her recovery to this point. We will call you immediately if there is any change. I don’t foresee anything but a quiet night.”

I hope that you have a better week. It is very difficult at times when you are the care giver. Hang in there. Just as Bette is hanging in there with what is happening with Tina. They will come out stronger in the long run.
I hope Tina doesn’t have any setbacks during her recovery. I wish you all the best with your dad. Alzheimers is a very emotional thing to have to go through for all involved. Post when you can.
