Hiro's pov
We didn't have to wait much to admitted to the hospital once we got there. I was sent to E.R. and out under to do a few tests, that's all a I remember from last night. When I woke up this morning my hand was bandaged, but I could still feel the heavy weight of the tin solder I always use.
It was a quarter past ten when a doctor came in to explain what damage was done.
"Hi my name is Dr. Baker"he said in a time you would use with a child, setting his clipboard down on the table beside the bed. He looked to be in his 80's, with a wide nose and deep looking eyes, his head just a large tuft of white hair.
"Ok, I want to know every thing that found out last night, no sugar coating it, just straight fact" I said quickly, I had to know what happened.
"We did a few x-rays and test last night to determine the severity of your injury. Since the solder is lead free it's not an immediate to your health, which is a good thing. If we attempt to remove it with surgery we run several risk, the main risk being that the tin has fused to the superficial palmar arch, which is the artery that supplies blood to the veins in each digit on your hand, if we rupture this artery, we run the risk of the veins in your fingers collapsing, which will force use to amputate them, possibly the entire hand." he said, his voice a lot more serious than before.
"So dose that mean that this is going to have to stay fused to my hand for the rest of my life?" I asked wearily, not exactly wanting to know.
"Not for ever, just a year or two. Hopefully by then your body will have treated it as the foreign object it is and the artery will repair itself, giving us room to operate. However on the opposite side of the spectrum, your body may just ignore it." he said
"So I'm going to have this on my hand for while then?"I asked still perplexed.
"Unfortunately so, but we'll be able to give you antibiotics in case of an infection and if their any pain we can get you a prescription, but for the moment being everything's fine, we'll just need to keep you here for a few hours to see if anything develops and don't worry your guardian has been notified." he said, quite compassionately.
"Oh, ok" I said, still trying to take everything in.
"Since you'll be here till about three would you like anything to eat?" he asked
"No thank you." the thought of hospital food didn't really grab my attention.
"Well what about her?" he pointed behind me.
"Her?" I turn around to see gogo asleep on a chair next to my hospital bed.
"She's been here with you since she brought you in, she force her way into the E.R. with you when we put you under, we tried to asked to leave when visiting hours were up, but she insisted she had to stay, quite forcefully so." he said. I didn't think gogo would stay in the hospital with me, I figured she would go back home after i was admitted.
"Im not really sure." i said still shocked that she stayed.
"Well if you need anything just call for me or a nurse and we'll take care of it" he said, picking up his clipboard and walking out of the room.
I turned to gogo, who was still sleeping. I wanted to wake her up and find out why she stayed, but I didn't want to wake her up, she looked too cute and peaceful. I decided to get some more sleep as well, if I could.
