Break for This
Things Are Better If I Stay
When the nurse returned, she told me that they would need to keep me overnight for evaluation. Then, she checked out all the machines and asked me a few questions.
"Mr.Way are you experiencing any nausea or lightheaded?"
"Uh,not really but I do feel a little shaking" I told her.
"Okay, how often and how long do they last?" She looked at me.
"Around every 15 minutes and it lasts for 5-10 minutes each time" I responded
"And how long ago was the last shake?"
"About 7 minutes ago, and it lasted 5 minutes". I felt really comfortable telling her this info. Which was weird because I hate hospitals.
"Alright, thank you Mr.Way"
"Oh and may I ask you a question Miss..." I tried to figure out her name.
"Liza, and sure what's your question" She turns back around facing towards me.
"Is there a way that you or one of the nurses could talk to my...fiancee and...actually never mind" I cut my sentence short.
"Are you sure because we could try and explain the situation to him"
"Yes i'm sure, thank you Miss.Liza for all your help" Hey i'm still a gentleman.
Did I really just call Frankie my fiancee? We aren't even getting married. Maybe we should. Hmm, I'll have to get back to that thought. Frank eventually came back with some real food. No offense to the hospital but even the elders think this is disgusting.
"Hey honey, are you still in tons of pain?" He put down the thermal bag of goodness.
"It still hurts but more like a 'fell off my bike' pain, and less of the original 'i'm on fire burning alive' pain". I tried to think of comparable types of pain.
"I guess that's good, but it still makes me upset that your in pain, I wish I could give the meds I took this morning". He said with an inconsolable look on his face.
"Oh, don't tease me like that" A smirk creeping onto my face.
"So did you get any rest while I was gone" He pulled out a bottle of water.
"Yeah, but Mikey came to check on me and bring me some things to do, oh and the nurse came in not to long ago". I put my hand on the tray in front of me and started to write random lyrics in my notebook.
"What did the nurse say?" He put down the drink and searched through the bag.
"Just that they needed me to stay over night for evaluation". I put down the pencil after filling 6 1/2 lines with words.
"Oh, that sucks but hey as long as you live for the next 97 years" He walked over and opened the curtains letting in the gleaming moon.
"Why 97"
"Its my favorite 90's number" He smiled looking out on the stars.
"Ok then 97 it is" He came and sat beside me on my bed.
Then he read the lyrics I had written out loud.
'I know there's nothing I can say to change that part, they're gonna medicate your life, heaven help us come crashing down,and when you go don't return to me my love'
"Wow, those are good babe, dark, but good" He looked at me pleased and concerned at the same time.
"I didn't even realize that's what I wrote, I just sort of wrote random words and phrases".
"Either way, they're still good" He shrugged and leaned in closer to my head.
It was 10;43 when Miss Liza came back and checked on me. I was half asleep and Frank was passed out beside me. I could hear her say "That's so sweet". Then she pulled up the blanket. Just like my mom used to.
