My Struggles Four Survival Instinct

Chapter 21

Walter Skinner was benefiting with being inside the water of the hydro therapy. His entire body felt so much better with the exercises they were giving him to try. Doctor Ashland had advised the trainer to make sure that he gets a good work out.

Knowing full well. He would be in pain later once he gets out of the pool. His medication would be given once he's back in his hospital room.

Currently the trainer was getting him out of the water with helping Skinner to climb up the stairs in spite of the damage done to his leg.

Taking his time. Skinner with groaning from the pain of his leg. He finally was able to move into his wheel chair and head back to his room with the transport employee having been called.

Afterwards he was placed into his bed into a comfortable spot. While his nurse was taking his vitals before handing him his medication.

After a moment...

"Here you go Mr. Skinner, your going to feel better in a little while." She says with writing something into the chart and placing it into the door slot.

"Thanks! I really do need this Joanie." Calling her by her first name that was listed on the name tag.

"I shall be back later to check up on you. If your going to be needing anything. Please be sure to use the bell."

It was early the next morning...

Since William didn't need to be at work until the evening. It would give him a chance to visit with Ruby at the diner.

However he was going to having a surprise. When he saw his friend Franklin just only arriving a few moments earlier. He was sitting at the front counter. And right away he was able to see William walking inside with excitement.

"Hey! my boy how are you?" Franklin said to his friend looking complex as to why he was here in the first place.

"I am fine Franklin. But how did you get here so quick?" He asked with Ruby walking over to him with a smile and a menu.

"I was able to get done one day earlier with the driving. Instead of sleeping, I would drive more with having to make extra coffee to keep me awake." Franklin said.

While everyone else laughed at him for taking a gamble with driving longer hours.

"Any way Franklin, I am glad your here never the less." As William goes to give the big man a hug.

Ruby was waiting for the both men to decide on there food. While she was busy with two other customers.
