Chapter 19
The nurse walked into Belle's room.
Nurse: What seems to be the problem?
Belle: I want to go home. I'm fine. I don't need to stay the night.
Nurse: Your doctor recommends that you spend the night here for observations. You only have to stay tonight. As of right now, you are scheduled to leave in the morning.
Belle: Did you hear what I said? I'm not staying the night.
John, Marlena, and Brady walked into the room to hear Belle's last comment.
Marlena: What is going on? Why are you so upset Belle?
Belle: I want out of this hospital. The bed is so uncomfortable and hard, I can't sleep with all the noise and the nurses coming in at all hours. I just want to be in my own bed in my own room. I don't want to wear this stupid hospital gown either.
Brady: I think the pain medicine has gone to her head. She never speaks her mind like this.
John: Honey, you need to stay here tonight.
Marlena: I will stay the night here in the room with you if it would make you feel better.
Belle: Why do I have to spend the night? I'm fine.
Marlena: You are not fine. You have too many broken bones and you need to stay here so they can keep check on you. I mean you just came out of surgery a few hours ago.
Belle: If you are going to take their side in this than just go home. Daddy you lied to me you said if anything went wrong you would take care of it. NOW TAKE CARE OF THIS! I WANT OUT!!
John was about to protest but he saw the look of determination on his daughter's face so he turned and headed to speak to her doctor. After 20 minutes of talking John had convinced him to let Belle go to the dorm and he would stop by to check on her. He gave John the pain pill presciption and signed the release papers.
John: Well sweetheart you get to leave but he will be over first thing to check on you. And you are to be on complete bedrest. Your brother will ride with you to the dorms while me and your brother get your crutches, wheelchair, bandages, and prescriptions from the pharmacy.
Brady: Okay sis here is the wheelchair let's head out.
Brady softly and gently sat her down in the wheelchair and Marlena and John gathered her flowers and gifts.
