    Lest I Forget (8)

    “Hey, relax,” I told her. “Everything’s all right, Al. You’re okay.” She opened her eyes again and looked at me, still squeezing my hand, and then dropped off into what looked like an uneasy sleep.

    When the doctor came in about fifteen minutes later, he said it was completely normal. “She’ll drift in and out for awhile. She’s exhausted, Dana, so please don’t worry if she drifts in and out for awhile. The coma wasn’t really sleep, so it’s natural she’ll be tired. She’ll probably wake up sporadically a few times tonight, but I wouldn’t expect any prolonged periods where she’ll be awake. As I said, it’s completely normal and nothing to worry about. I’ll keep the MRI on and check on her every half hour or so throughout the night. Right now I’ll have Gemma come in and give her some dinner.” He must have seen the question on my face, because he laughed. “Not literally of course. I’m going to start her on some fluids that have a little more nutritional value than what she’s been on. Please don’t worry if her periods of being awake don’t even out for a couple days. It’s a gradual process, but letting her know you’re here will do wonders.”

    I nodded. I wanted to ask him just how recovered she’d turn out to be since the surgery, but I didn’t think my brain could process the information at the moment. Aside from that, it was enough that she’d opened her eyes for me, if only for a minute.

    She slept for about an hour with me sitting beside her, stroking her face at random intervals and talking to her softly. Gemma came in with some different IV bags and got them set up. I smiled at the way she talked to Alice the entire time she was working. She seemed to be in a much better mood since Kallie had spoken to her earlier, and I couldn’t help but hope for the best. I knew Alice would roll her eyes at me for it, but even having my daughter step in as the comforter after Gemma’s breakup had me hopeful.

    By the time six o’clock had rolled around, I was all talked out and starting to get a little hungry. “I’ll be back soon, baby. I’m gonna go see if I can get somebody to bring me something to eat,” I told her softly. I wasn’t expecting her to respond, and was a little surprised when she opened her eyes and made a sound. I can’t really describe it, but to me it sounded anguished.

    1. Damn! I forgot to comment last chapter. So sorry, MT! Great New Year’s present! Such a sweet chapter. Love that Dana could not sleep well without Alice. True soulmates. So many great touches: Dana pacing when Al wasn’t looking, showering together over the years, the knitted blanket, etc. — wonderful. Poor Dana. It is really hard to keep vigil like that. Stupid Gemma’s girlfriend! I would be willing to give her Jules if Kallie doesn’t work out. Interesting touch about Helena and Tina. I do like that Dylan was apparently there for Helena until the end. You rock, MT. Best wishes for 2008! Thanks so much for the new chapter!!

    2. By the time I finished reading this chapter, I am a lot more sober after partying all night. OMG, MaGoose, again you saved me from typing half of my comments. I love the blanket too, so A, so sweet. I was about to start a “Feed Dana” campaign and then they brought her a Thanksgiving dinner. I also like the nice surprise about T & H getting back together. I am elated to find A slowly waking up. Poor D she really needed to get some rest. I am starting to worry about her again. She could not afford to be sick. I lmao when MaGoose offered Jules. As for you, MT, I am sorry to hear that you are depressed. I am sure MaGoose will not mind letting the D from “Closure” to take care of you for a day or two. Then everyone will be happy. Thank you MT, like MaGoose said, “YOU ROCK.” And please continue to rock in 2008. So keep your chin up and I wish you happiness, good health & prosperity this coming year!

    3. Hey MT, what a way to start the New Year. Your writing continues to blow me away. I loved the part about the blanket, such an Alice thing to do…so cute. You’re teasing us a little with this story though, when I read the first chapter I accepted that there was no hope for Alice and that I had to read the story accepting it was destined to end a certain way…that was before I realised that you were in love with Alice, now slowly each chapter you are feeding us grains of hope and I’m starting to wonder if you have it in you to do anything really bad to your woman!
