Chapter 8:Time stops for no-one
The doctors had the results back from all of Lizzie's tests and had gathered everyone in Lizzie's room. Just before the doctor spoke the door to the room burst open and in came Gordo."Sorry i'm late the traffic was dire! Hey Liz, how you doing?"
"Well the doctors were just about to tell me about my test results!"
"Oh sorry! I better be quiet then!"
At this point Lizzie fely awful, she couldn't remember anyone, but she wasn't going to ask the guy who just walked in, because for some strange reason she felt like she had to protect him from any hurt, so she kept quiet. Lizzie was pulled out of her thoughts by the docotrs beginning to explain what was wrong with her.
"Miss Mcguire, it seems that the tuma is pressing on a part of the brain that stores short term and long term memories and this is causing a fluid to build up and that is what made you blackout. Now this can be corrected with surgery and your memory will soon be back to normal!"
Lizzie was petrified, but didn't want to let on to anyone, but Gordo however saw right through this and looked at Lizzie in the eyes and she smiled therefor making her tingle and feel reassured. (I know, I know him, and i know that i care for him, but i just can't seem to place who he is. Oh God please let me remember!) As if a light had just been switched on, Lizzie announced"Gordo, i rememberyou!"she made everyone jump but Gordo just took her hand and kissed it.
"Do you remember everyone else Liz?" asked Gordo
"Well i remember mostly all the things i could possibly, but i can't remember what i was doing a week ago, it's just getting me confused!"
"That's to be expected you will remember somethings but not remember others it's because the pressure is too much for your brain to handle which is the cause of your memory loss!"exclaimed Doctor Regent.
"We're going to start getting you ready for your operation!" explained Doctor Monroe.
"So quickly, i thought i'd have to wait for an operation!"
"Your case is very serious and the quicker we attack the problem the better your chances are!"
"My chances for what?"said Lizzie with worry in her voice.
"For beating the cancer, you see the cancer is quiet far gone, ever so much more than we originally assessed!"
"Can i talk to Gordo alone please? I just need to digest what's going on!"
"Of course Miss Mcguire, we'll be back to take you down to theatre within the next hour!"said Doctor Monroe with a soothing and comforting voice.
At this everyone left Lizzie's room, leaving only Gordo. "I'm scared Gordo!I don't know what will happen to me! I'm not afraid to die! I'm just......I'm just so scared that i won't wake up and be in your arms! I don't want to loose you!" Lizzie cried out breaking into a flow of tears that Gordo couldn't stop.
His heart was breaking for Lizzie, he knew something of what she was feeling, because he knew that without Lizzie his life has no meaning. Gordo was so scared of loosing her that he never stopped to wonder what her fears were! All Gordo could do was holdd her, and listen to her." I know that it's unlikely i'll wake up from this gordo, and personally I'm not scared for myself, I'm scared that your forget me and move on and find someone you love more than me!"
"Oh Liz, i'll never love anyone as much as i love you, no-one will even come remotely close to what i feel for you! I'll never forget you because your the one thing in my life that gives me purpose, your the reason i wake up in the morning and the reason i sleep at night!"
The Doctors came to take Lizzie down to theatre, Gordo kept holding on tightly to her hand as she drifted off into the land of nod. the last thing Lizzie herd was Gordo saying"I love you" and he just managed to hear her say "I love you" back. The doctors then took her away to see if they could try and save her life. In normal circumstances this operation would have been performed whilst the patient was awake, but due to the fluid that was formed Lizie had to be unconcious.
The operation so far was going well, they had removed the tuma and were currently draining the fluid. Just as the doctors had finished the terrible, screaming sound came from the heart monitor. Lizzie had flatlined. "She's under cardiac arrest, charge the defib at 160 stat!"
Thirty minutes later the doctor came out to talk to the McGuire family and friends. Doctor Regent entered the relatives room and all of the five pairs of eyes fell upon him. No-one spoke, all too afraid to ask how everything went. " I'm afraid that Miss McGuire had a cardiac arrest after her operation. It took us a while to get her back, her brain was starved of oxygen for 20 minutes, she's currently on the life support machine, and i'm very sorry but this is the only thing keeping her alive!"
