Yeah, I understand completely. My brother is in the business. He´s doing documentaries too. Or maybe it´s more like small news documentaries, for local TV stations in Boston.” She says.

That´s cool. He´s staying in the game sort of, where it´s all happening. Good for him.” Tina says and keeps smiling.

Yeah, well, everything seems find here. I´ll juse check the bandgages from the sugrey, and then I´ll get Dr. Simmons for you. And you Ms. Porter will have to help change the bandage on her stomach once a day. I´ll teach you that after Dr. Simmons has been in here to check the stitching and how it is healing.” The nurse says.

Okay, thanks.” Bette replies. The nurse leaves to get the doctor.

Babe, are you sure about me living with you when you´re home? I know we talked  about it but, I just want you to be a 100 percent sure.” Bette says and put a stray hair behind Tinas ear.

Can you put it up instead? It´s tickly and annoying when it falls into my face all the time. I think there´s band in the upper drawer there.” Tina says and nods to the drawer section beside her bed.

Sure. You want me to comb it too, while we´re on it?” Bette asks and smiles.

Oh, would you? I haven´t been combed since I got in here. Maybe you could help me wash it later? Have to ask the doctor first though, but. Will you?” Tina asks.

Off course I will. I´ll do whatever you need me to do. I´m happy to do it, so don´t ever hesitate to ask, okay?” Bette says and leans in for a kiss.

Thank you.” Tina says and smiles.

Can you sit up straight? Easier to comb that way, and after you can lean into me, Il´l hold you.” Bette says.

Sure. Sitting doesn´t hurt anymore.” Tina says. Bette helps er up and scoops her a little down the bed, so Bette can get in behind her. Once they´re comfortable, Bette starts combing.

Oh this is so nice, thank you.” Tina says, and softly squeezes Bette´s knee with her good arm.

After about 10 minutes the doctor enters the room. Bette is still in bed behind Tina.

Hi there Ms. Kennard. you ready to go home?” He asks.

Yes, I am.” Tina replies with a smile.

Good good, let´s check the wound, shall we?” He says and walks to the side.

Shall I get out?” Bette asks.

It´s okay. You can stay. Just keep still, let me look at the wound. See how it is healing.” The doctor says and smiles. “Can you take off the shirt Ms. Kennard.” He adds.

Sure. Bette, help me a little?” Tina asks.

Sure, here, lift your good arm up.” Bette says.

Tina lifts her arm and then Bette helps her out of the shirt. The doctor has now access to the wound. He carefully removes the bandages and looks closely at the wound.

Seems to be healing good. I´ll let the nurse help you with putting on a new bandage. It needs to be cleaned and changed two times a day. As for the leg and arm, come back in here in two weeks, we´ll take some x-rays to see how those are doing.” The doctor says.

Thank you doctor.” Tina says.

You´re welcome. I wish you good luck and a quick recovery.” He replies.

Thank you.” Tina says and gives him a smile.

The doctor leaves, the nurse comes in with bandages and other supplies.

So, shall we put on some new ones here.” She says and smiles.

She shows Bette how to clean and change it and then Bette helps Tina into her clothes again, they pack up all her things and then Bette wheels her out of the hospital. They went by the hospital rental service and got Tina a nice wheelchair. She needed to stay completely off her leg and her arm can also not be used. 

Finally they are on their way home.
