Kisara is our personal nurse, she and Yugi both support me when I have therapy to gaine my muscles back to health, and I need to learn again to walk, sit on my own, eat by myself, even getting potty trained again. I didn't hold it possible that after six months, you forget those basic things so easy.
Ten days after Yugi was set free his nutrition bag was no longer required, but he still is afraid, afraid that when he walks out the hospital they arrest him again, the dungeon where he was captured in gave him quite the trauma.
Mom arranged he goes to a psychiatrist, not only to talk about last six months, but also about his dad, and the psychiatrist decided Yugi stays in the hospital until I'm released.
Yugi helps Kisara helping me with simple things, like feeding me, fetch me some random things Kisara doesn't have the time for.
He also helps out in the kids nursery to give him confidence, his Neko form is a fun thing to see, and if a child needs a shot, he distracts them, the kids love him, and I think when we are out, he comes over to volunteer at the nursery.
I already can sit up myself and now they are training me to go to the bathroom myself, that is a decision the nurses and I made because those diapers I need are giving me a very painful rash, and I feel very uncomfortable wearing one.
Today we decided I would try it without that stupid painful thing, Yugi is feeding me he gives me the last bite, if I feel the bed getting wet.
"Shit! Yugi can you call Kisara please?" I ask while facepalming myself
"It happend again?"
"Yeah, sorry, I didn't feel it comming" I say ashamed.
"Don't worry, they told us it could happen." he says and uses the beeper to call Kisara.
"I hope I have it quick under control again, this really sucks."
"Me to love, me to."
Kisara walks in, blankets in her arms as if she already knows. Yugi told me later she and he are using codes with what my need is at the moment.
"Sorry Kisara."
"It's okay Atem, I talked with some other nurses, and we figured out a way to prevent these accidents."
"How?"
"We are going to place you on the toilet at random times, before meal and after, before and after resting, and before sleeping, somewhere at night, and in the morning if you wake up."
"Seems like potty training a toddler, do I get a gift as well if I do it a full week without diaper?" I joke a bit.
"And what would you like if you can go to the potty alone a whole week?" She jokes with me.
"Hmmm I hum, a extra dessert for me and Yugi?"
"I think we can arrange that." she smiles.
"Then we need a potty calendar as well, half a sun for the little message, and a full sun for the big message, otherwise you don't know if you truly deserve a extra dessert for us." Yugi jokes.
"And a full cloud if it goes wrong. "Kisara plays along.
"Oh come on, I'm a grown man!" I shout frustrated.
"Hey you came up with the idea." They both say in unison, and the three of us laugh about it.
My bed is changed, I'm cleaned up, and Kisara walks out.
"Atem, I go to the hospital store, see if they have a new book, you want something?" Yugi asks.
"Yes I want you."
"Sorry, but that happens when you are set free."
"Ah shit." I pout.
Hi hi he giggles, holdin out the swearing jar and I point to my wallet. He realy bought us a swearing jar, and even when I'm in the hospital, he has no mercy.
"Can you bring me a chocolate bar please?" I ask.
"Okay daddy." He says while giving me a kiss, "See you in a bit."
Yugi also got a personal guard, Shimon is a older man, and that's what I wanted for Yugi, someone he could trust.
Shimon, doesn't handle him as a person who needs protection, but acts like a grandfather, Yugi adores the old man.
Together I see them walking off, Yugi looks over his schouler and I see the devilish hint in his eyes. "Oh shit! He's up to something!" I shout.
Not able to come out the bed myself I'm forced to stay put, and hope he does nothing to embarrass me.
I enjoy the rest for a moment and think back at last night events.
Flash backs:
Yugi still has nightmares, and yesterday he couldn't handle the nightmares anymore and went back to the cutting, I woke up by the sound of breaking glass, luckily I managed to call Kisara, she called Shimon over and both they managed to open the bathroom door, like a loving grandfather protecting his grandchild, Shimon managed to get the glass out Yugi's hand and talked with him a bit before he carried Yugi over to me, I closed him in my arms and we talked a bit before he fell asleep.
This morning Yugi's psychiatrist came over, I told him that he before cutted himself and when he had the urge he should come to me, this is the first time since I lay in the hospital Yugi slept in the same bed with me, the psychiatrist told Yugi if he had the urge and if I didn't mind he can crawl next to me.
Flash back ends:
After about an hour Shimon and Yugi return, Yugi has bought me a chocolate bar, himself a book, and a…. Damnit, a potty train calendar!
"I didn't even know those things exist for real!" I say a bit stunned.
"I did, I saw it a couple of days ago." Yugi says.
"You are a little bastard." I say with a smirk.
"I know, and you are going to use it." He smirks back.
It took me three weeks to be fully potty trained again, a few uuh accidents, but nothing major, and glad it didn't happen when I wasn't outside the room, it would been a total disaster if I peed my pants and a outsider saw it happen, would been major news, I already see the headlines,
Prince Atem pissed his pants in the hospital!
Urg, the fact I'm laying here made the papers already, they managed to bring it to a plane crash and me and yugi having amnesia so basically we don't know what happend.
Anyway, now I'm potty trained again, they now working on the walking, and walking also goes slowly into the right direction.
They don't want me to strain myself to much, so one thing at the time.
First I needed to learn how to chew my food again, next sitting up by myself, followed with potty training, feeding myself, but the potty training and feeding they did at once, and then walking, however they wanted me to walk first before the potty, glad the rash was to painful for me to handle.
We didn't discovered yet if I indeed inherited Yugi his Neko condition and today we will find out.
I feel off, my trouth hurts, I'm feeling cold, and my therapy goes not like usual, but my therapist already told me I sometimes would have bad days.
Kisara takes me back to bed, and plugs in the ear thermometer.
Three beeps, "hmm 38.5C no wonder it didn't went well with you today, you have a fever."
"But how?"
"A hospital can be a very clean space, but when one patient is sick they can infect other patients easily, I go call Yugi back from the nursery, he can be a carrier now and bring it also over to the kids, and probably one of them had a bug and Yugi handed it over towards you."
I nod.
Ha-ha-hasjoe! "Ah shit." yeah feeling sick and sneezing made me piss my pants.
"Bless you." Yugi says while walking in. "Aaw you looked adorable!" He squeals after.
"How do I look?"
"By the looks you also are a cat, a black one."
"I want to see."
"Then come on, and do we need another potty calendar?" Yugi says and he supports me to the bathroom.
"I think it would be the best, with how I feel, maybe I couldn't control it now because I'm sick."
"I call Kisara, so she can clean up your bed, but first, look how cute you look." He says and points towards the mirror.
I look nice, Yugi also transforms and the both of us look adorable, I only can't figure out what breed I am.
I also have cat like teeth, I see him using the beeper, and starts helping me out the wet pants, Kisara knocked on the door, "the bed is clean" she says.
Yugi supports me back to bed and I fall asleep.
"Hey sweetheart, how is he doing?"
"He sleeps now mom, and we figured it out, he is indeed a Neko."
"Just as cute as you?"
"Yeah only he has black where I have white."
Slowly I open up my eyes, I feel like shit.
"Hey mom, I whisper."
"Hey sweetheart how are you feeling?
Cold, and not well at all."
"That I can see, when did he have the last painkillers?"
"Uhm, they called me back two and a half hour ago."
Mom calls Kisara and she gives me a ivy so I don't have to swallow the pills.
I also get the diaper again, when I'm better they see if I need the potty calendar again.
We are now half year farther after my awakening, Yugi and I are packing our bags, finally I'm released. I feel when I need private time, I can feed myself, dress myself, walk and even run a bit again. All the basics are almost completely back.
I got sick one more time three months ago, and then I had full control over my bladder, so thanks Ra for that.
Mana comes over to takes us home, after living a year in the hospital.
I still have a long way towards full recovery, but with my lovely family and most of all my sweetie I know I can manage.
Yugi is nervous, we didn't see father after my awakening, and I don't know if he forgave Yugi already, but no matter what, I'm support my sweetie.
