What Ever It Takes
Chapter 11
After Sam had had her xray and was comfortably back in resus Zoe walked in looking her iPad which Sam assumed contained her xrays.
'Right..' she said not taking her eyes off the screen.
'Before you tell me anything please go and get Tom I want him here' interrupted Sam.
'Ok. Robyn can you please get Dr Kent from the staff room. Tell him Sam's out of xray' said Zoe.
A few seconds later Robyn reappeared with Tom following close behind.
'Hey..' he said kissing Sam.
'Moving on..' said Zoe clearing her throat. 'I'm sorry to say this Sam but your knee is dislocated. You haven't damaged your patella in anyway but you may have some ligament damage. I'll book you in for an MRI scan just to confirm that. But first we need to put your leg back into place! I'm sure you know the drill but I will run you through it anyway' said Zoe walking over to the drugs trolley to prep for the procedure.
'Are you ready for this?' asked Tom.
'Well they are going to have to do it at some point so they might as well get it over and done with!' Said Sam sighing.
'Right Sam, I'm going to give you some more morphine and some ketamine so then you will not feel a thing.' Said Zoe injecting something into Sam's IV.
'Will Tom be staying?' Asked Robyn
'Err yeah' said Tom sheepishly moving closer to where Sam's head was, not letting go of Sam's hand as he did so. When everyone was in place and it was time for Sam's knee to be put back into place Tom started to stroke her hair and whisper comforting things into her ear. Sam took a sharp intake of breath and this indicated to Tom that Zoe had finished.
'Sam, I'm just putting your leg into a splint and then we will take you back to xray to double check everything is OK' said Zoe.
Sam just simply nodded and before she knew it was in the xray scanner room again.
After the second Xray was given the OK by Zoe. Sam was now waiting for the physiotherapist to come and see her so she could go home. This was the best she had felt since she had arrived. Her knee would heal I time and her and Tom had there relationship on track. The physiotherapist came and went and jut as Sam was putting her hoddie back on Tom put his head around the curtain.
'Hey' he said sitting down on the bed.
'Hey yourself' she said shuffling closer to him and leaning into his shoulder.
'What did the physio say?' He said wrapping his arms around Sam.
'Nothing that we don't know already' she said yawning.
'How about you go to sleep for a bit and I'll go and get the car so we can go home?' Said Tom gently getting off the bed.
'Sounds good to me' replied Sam lying down on the bed.
'See you later' he said giving her a quick peck on the cheek.
