Chapter 11th Safe Haven
It was late in the afternoon the next day. When Susan was waking. Her surgery having been successful. The events of the few days treading heavily across her. Though coming slowly awake.
She could smell, sense that she might be the hospital room after the surgery. She is trying to move, when someone is touching her to don't try to move too quickly.
It sounded too much like her mother. When she slowly opened her eyes . Getting somewhat used to the lighting in the room.
When Jolene tells her to open up slowly having the nurse near the light switch to lower the brightness, until she is able to be used to it.
"Mom." She says in a low whispered. Turning now to her direction. In the now dim lighting she can now make out the figure. Another figure is seated much smaller.
Than finally awake, she gives a little bit of a smile. "Welcome back Susan." Jolene says, while looking over at her daughter Angela asleep in the other chair.
While the nurse standing near the entrance of her room, telling her to try not making any sudden movements. Until her doctor gets here to take a look at her further.
"I understand, mom. How long was I out from the surgery?" Jolene looks over at her daughter before the nurse leaves to page for the doctor once again.
"24 hours. They wanted to make sure you are fine. Your doctor was able to relieve the fluid from your brain stem on the right side." She's exhausted from the ride, and the long wait before finally falling asleep three hours ago." Her mother couldn't speak any further having to be tired herself. She does lean in to kiss the cheek of her daughter with the tears starting to fall down her face.
"Mom, please don't cry I am happy everything worked out for the best."
"You can say that again Susan." Wiping the wetness from her face with the tissues that were sitting on the tray next to her bed.
It didn't take long for the nurse to come back in with her doctor having done the surgery on her.
