* * *OK - MY OVERALL REACTION ON THE NEGATIVE REVIEWS:
Dear readers. . . I must say I did expect these reactions ( remembering the reactions I've gotten from my multiple choice question.)
But I really had hoped that you would know me better by now ( after ready 9 chapters). Its not my style to just give Logan a miracle cure and 'they life happily ever after', I love this story to much to do that, I don't think I can even end this story!!!! . . .And remember this story IS called. "Logan's Surgery Fails".
I really had thought about my story lines and how it should continue. I had the structure ready before I went on my holiday. During my holiday I wrote everything out on pieces of paper! So I have my good reasons why I let this "Rising" happening. And you will find out why.
MY MISTAKE WAS:
That I have only posted chapter 10, and didn't post the rest of the chapters that I ve written, cuz I simply didn't made them digital YET. Maybe I should have waited and post the whole bunch of chapters at once, then this whole confusion wouldn't have happened.
( maybe I will do that next time )
* * * OK- NOW THE INDIVIDUAL REACTION - _____thanks I also like your reviews, a lot actually, (that means you do care about the story!)
Steffi : Bling isn't such a good cook, so he made the kitchen dirty, he used all the pots and pans.. so max had to clean up the mess he made. ( haha , this was just an excuse why it took Max so long in the kitchen, I was just trying to get rid off Max so that Logan could do his thing!) . BTW, Logan did needed help from Bling to roll over to the sink. ( I've changed "He" into "Bling" to make it more clear now." Oh yeah and thanks for being honest! But I can assure you I would never go for a quick happy ending.. that is just not my style.
Darkangel81 : don't worry , I am not! I will never do that ! I love this story to much to do that!
mapleleaf : Who says that this is a miracle cure??? And didn't rush this chapter off: I had my definite story lines already ready, before I went on holiday. All I had to do was write them out on a piece of paper. And I am not taking the easy way out, cuz the easy way out was "stop writing!".
Alaidh: Of course I'm not!. I am all about the "Logan Surgery Fails".." I know it doesn't make sense at the moment to give him al little bit of an "Rising" but you will find out soon why I did it !!!
me : I feel sad that you will stop reading it, I wished you had more faith in this story.
* * *To ALL : But I still love your reviews! : - D

Chapter 11: After The Doctor's Visit
Her cheek rested on his chest, his slender fingers played with her curly curls. The light shined through the blindfolds.
"Ow S***!" -She stared at the watch on her wrist. "Gotta bounce, Normal is gonna kill me if I am late again!"
Logan disappointedly relaxed his arm which was wrapped around her. He knew that he had to let her go, even though he didn't want to.
Max reached down to grab her boots and pecked a kiss on Logan's cheek.
"I'll come by at lunch-break." -She hurried off with her boots still in her hands.
He sighed and rested his arm on his abdomen. He pinched the skin between his thumb and index-finger. There was a smile on his face, he could definitely feel something.
. . .
The doorbell rang. It was Dr. Sam Carr. Logan heard him coming closer to his room.
"Good morning, Logan."
"Morning , Sam. Thanks for coming so quickly." -Logan said happily as he propped himself a little up so he could face Sam properly.
"No problem, but I can't stay long, it's a madhouse at the clinic. Bling told me that you regained some feeling in your legs."
"Yes." -He replied proudly and picked up his glasses from the nightstand.
Dr. Carr grabbed a chair and sat down next to the bed to face Logan and took out a metal instrument from his bag.
"OK. Lets get started. Logan, close your eyes. . . Can you feel that?" -He tapped on his feet.
"Yep."
Dr. Carr tapped on his thighs.
"Yeah." -Logan replied.
"And that?" -Dr. Carr asked, but he didn't touched him.
"No Sam, because you didn't touch me." -He said dryly.
"Well, I think we're dealing with phantom sensation."
"So, how do you explain the fact that I do feel it when you touched me?"
"Logan, spinal nerve damage does not just heal itself, not ever . . ."
"But I'm telling you, this is not something I am imagining."
"I need a sample of your blood to see what we're dealing with here."
"I hate needles." -Logan grunted.
"I know that, you've told me that before!"
Logan sighed and stretched his arm out and looked away.
"Relax your arm Logan, otherwise it will hurt."
Dr. Carr shook his arm until it relaxed and stuck a needle in a vein and got two tubes of blood.
"OK, I'm done. I will run these through the lab, then we'll see what we are dealing with." -Dr. Carr put his equipment back in his back.
Logan felt disappointed. This is not the reaction what he had expected from Sam. Its should have been: Logan! You are getting better, you will be able to walk very soon!
Dr. Carr saw the sad look on Logan's face.
"You know. . .I am not telling you not to have hope, anything is possible, but as your doctor I have the responsibility to give you the medical facts. And I will call you right away as soon as I know what's going on here."
"OK. . ." -He sighed.
"I will call you this afternoon."
"Thanks."
Dr. Carr stood, up and left the room.
. . .
"Phantom sensation, yeah right!" -He mumbled to himself.
Logan propped himself up on this arms. His abdomen and back muscles weren't doing what they were used to do. He grunted at his limp body and dragged him self up, feeling the texture vaguely rubbing underneath him.
Finally, he was sitting, leaning against the headboard breathing heavily. It took him more effort and time than normal.
When he caught his breath. He shoved his legs off the bed and shifted his position to face his chair.
He placed one hand on his night stand and slowly leaned forward to reach his chair. which was a few feet away.
"S****" -He hissed.
Logan had his hand on one of the wheels of the chair, but he was leaning to much forward. He didn't had the working back muscles to drag the chair closer to the bed, nor had he the strength to push himself back to the bed.
He felt trapped, deceived by his own body. There was no way back.
Bling was only a few rooms away, all he had to do is to call out his name. But Logan kept himself quiet.
Stubbornly he gathered his breath and let go off the chair and placed his palm on the wooden floor. Then he let go off the nightstand and made himself tumble slowly out of the bed. With a quiet drop he landed on the floor.
On his elbows he crawled towards his chair and reached up to put the chair on its brakes. With two hands on the rims on the wheels, he took his final breath and pushed himself up with allot of effort.
Once seated, he lifted his leg up, but the counterweight of his leg made him lose his balance. He landed on his own knees.
"Damn." -He said through his breath.
He pushed himself up again and reach down behind his backrest to get the Velcro belt, strapped himself in his chair and pulled his feet up.
For the very first time he sat in his wheelchair and could feel that he was actually sitting in it. He felt the cool footrest underneath his bare feet.
Logan placed his hands back on the wheels and wheeled himself to the bathroom.
He opened the medicine cabinet and got out his stuff and the bottle of antiseptic and rolled over the toilet. He didn't have a lot of feeling down there, but he definitely felt discomfort when he inserted himself.
"Kssssstttt."-He hissed.
Logan's face grimaced when he pulled out the catheter, that was definitely painful! 'Well thats a improvement,.'-He thought. This was one of the things he felt so embarrassed about, he hoped that this was one of the last times he had to do this.
He rolled himself over to the sink to wash his hands and face and to brush his teeth.
His eyes glanced over to the shower-seat and the handles that were attached on the wall. "Could I take a shower by myself?" -He wondered. He really wanted to take a shower.
Logan rolled his eyes and shook his head. "I rather not risk it" -He mumbled under his breath and wheel out of the bathroom.
. . .
Logan was in the kitchen counter, preparing a sandwich.
"And what do you think you're doing?" -Bling raised his voice when he entered the kitchen and saw Logan.
"Making breakfast." -Logan spun his chair around and smiled sarcastically.
"Do you think you're being funny?"
"No." -Logan answered, he felt like a kid who was being caught.
"I'm serious Logan, you've could have hurt yourself, again." -He emphasized the last word.
Logan sighed, but he knew that Bling was right. But he couldn't help feeling grumpy about it.
"Did you speak to Sam before he left? " -Logan tried to change the subject.
"Yes." -He answered. "You shouldn't strain your back like that, Logan. You just got home yesterday! Or do you want to go back to the hospital?" -Bling continued lecturing him.
"Look. . . nothing happened." -He said in an relaxed kind of way.
"But it could."
"I am tired of being stuck in bed all day long! I just wanted to get out of bed."
"And who said you could?"
"Me!' - He said with frustration. He turned his chair around, and placed his plate with a sandwich on his lap and wheeled over to the dinner table and set the wheels on brake.
Bling followed him.
"Logan, you should have known better. You could have ripped your stitches again!"
"But I haven't." -Logan placed the plate on the table.
"How can you be certain of that?"
Logan ignored him and started to chew on his sandwich.
"Can I at least check out your stitches? Just to make sure?"
"If you really want to. . ." -He shrugged.
Bling glanced over to the wheels to see if they were on brakes, and removed the Velcro belt.
"Logan, put your arms on the table, OK?"
Logan did what he was told too.
Bling guided Logan to lean forward and rolled his T-shirt up. He removed the dressing to take a look at the stiches.
"Hmmm, that's odd. . ." -Bling frowned.
