Chapter 25: Being released from the hospital

A week later I have fully recovered from surgery,and I am able to be released from the hospital. Dr. Brackett goes into his office,and he gets my releasal papers ready. He comes back into my hospital room with my releasal papers. I am dressed,packed,and ready to go home.

Ben comes to the hospital to pick me up to take me home. Dr. Brackett walks out into the lobby with me,and he talks to Ben for a few minutes.

Dr. Brackett exclaims to Ben,"She needs a week of bed rest,but other than that she will be fine. Take very good care of her,and call me immediately if there are any problems with her."

Ben responds back to Dr. Brackett,"Ok,Thanks Doc,and I will."

"Ok,and so long Annie take care of yourself."

"Bye Doc,and I will."

"Ok,bye Annie."

"Bye Doc."

Ben,Dr. Brackett,and I finish up our conversation. Ben and I also outside,and we mount up on our horses. We ride from the hospital back to the Ponderosa,and a few minutes later we arrive back at the Ponderosa.

We dismount our horses,and we walk into the house. I have a week of bed rest,and I am fine. Ben takes food care of me,and I take good care of myself. I am 100% recovered after my week of bed rest.
