Perspectives, Bette Chapter 17
“Bette? Baby, are you alright” her voice breaks into my thoughts.
I try to move my hand to hold hers, but it doesn’t seem to move. I can’t move my hand now. What the ***** is happening to me? I have to tell Tina, so she can go tell the doctor. “Hand.um, hand. Move.no, move.” I don’t want to panic her, but she’s the one who has to go get help.
“Baby, whose hand,” she asks. “Whose hand are you talking about? And what about it?”
Why is she asking me that? I was perfectly clear. “Hand.um, doctor.move..hand.”
“Stay calm Baby, I’m going out to get the doctor.” Finally, she gets it and goes to find the doctor.
I hear two sets of footsteps enter the room, neither of which is heavy enough to be a man’s.
“Hand.um, hand.no, hand.move,” I begin to tell this new doctor what’s going on.
“Can you tell me what’s going on,” Tina asks in a fervor. “What’s happening to her? Does she have some kind of brain damage or something?” Brain damage? Why would Tina ask that? Just because I can’t move my hand?
“First of all, I need you both to calm down. My name is Dr. Julie Butler. I’m the neurologist Bette’s other doctor asked to come in and consult.”
“I wasn’t aware her other doctor asked anyone to consult,” Tina tells her. Obviously they’re not telling her anything either.
“My apologies for that, Ms”
“Kennard. Tina Kennard,” Tina responds. “Can you tell us what’s happening?” Tina’s words escape with a hint of uncertainty. I hear in her tone that she’s about to cry, if not already doing so.
“I have a small idea of what might be going on, but I’ll have to wait until after the tests are run before I have a definitive answer for you. Why don’t we step outside and let Ms. Porter rest before the nurse comes to get her?” Again, they’re talking about me like I’m not here. I try to utter my words of disapproval, but the words don’t seem to come out.
I hear the two women step into the hall as the tension, rage, and panic brought on by the uncertainty finally overtake me. I slowly drift into that unconsciousness I only shortly before came out of.

Wonderful to have you back. Life is sometimes wonderful sometimes shitty and somehow the world keeps turning even when we really need it to stop.I’ve been thinking about those two stuck in the hospital! To be very selfish here glad that you are going to try and write more. Oh and I’ve been looking for a guide – put my name down in one of the follower slots!
I know I’m late to the comment party, but I just wanted to say THANK YOU for updating. I really enjoy this story. There are so many levels and layers that you peel away by telling different angles of the same story. Please keep it going.
