"That's good. When I leave in a month, I will take you with me." Karl made a promise that got me excited so much I almost jumped from my bed.
"Calm down.,...calm down. Don't hurt yourself or you wouldn't have recovered enough to leave even after a month." Karl chuckled as he got up from the bed and said goodbye before leaving.
Just as Karl left, the doctor came to check up on me. It was the same doctor who had taken care of me before, Doctor Samantha.
"Hello Val." She greeted me with a smile as soon as she walked into the room.
"Hello Doctor Sam." I smiled back even though it was painful as the drugs I had been injected with for pain were wearing off.
"How are you feeling today?" Doctor Sam asked while unwrapping my wound to examine it.
"Like crap." I replied with a small laugh.
"Someone else in your shoes would be feeling worse. So, cut yourself some slack." Doctor Sam encouraged me and I just smiled.
