A sequel to my 2018 story "The Recluse of 4B and the Waitresses". Part 8, a guest in 4A.

4 days after the accident Sheldon carefully helped Sally up the stairs to apartment 4A. Sally's friends had agreed to let her stay in Bernadette's old room in 4A but Sheldon would look after her as she recuperated. Leonard and Penny would drive her back to the hospital for physiotherapy. Penny and Bernadette had gone to Sally's apartment to bring her some clothes. Sheldon had told Caltech that he would be working from home until Sally had recovered.
Over the next four weeks Sheldon waited on Sally hand and foot. Sally could walk with some difficulty using a walking stick but couldn't do much else. Sheldon and Sally spent a lot of time doing Physics discussions. The day before Sally went back to the hospital Sheldon submitted a paper on their discussions.
At the hospital another X-ray scattering experiment revealed that the broken bones in Sally's right arm had healed, now she had to get some strength back in her right arm. It took another two weeks before Sally could start to do most things by herself. She then moved out of Bernadette's old bedroom across the hall to 4B where she moved in with Sheldon!

Six months later Howard had some news which he announced at the Thursday night pizza party.
"Next month a NASA rocket is going to launch carrying a Venus orbiter spacecraft, I designed and built an infrared camera for this spacecraft so I have been invited out to watch the launch at the Kennedy space centre in Florida. I have 4 tickets, who wants to come with me and Bernadette? it will give me the opportunity to visit some relatives in Florida."
Sheldon "I have never seen a space rocket launch, I went to see a Space Shuttle launch when I was a child but it was rained off."
Sally "You are not the only one with relatives in Florida Howard. How would you like to meet my family Dr. Cooper?"
