Chapter 14: Patience

This morning, Logan woke up to find out that Max already had left. He picked up his glasses from the nightstand and noticed a little note.

It was from Max.

"Dear Logan,

Sorry that I didn't say goodbye to you,

You look so adorable when you are sleeping,

Gotta blaze now, I'm already late!

See you tonight.

Kiss,

Max."

Logan smiled and placed the note in his drawer.

He propped him self up and pushed his legs over to one side of the bed. Logan was surprised with how much feeling he had regained in one night.

Logan was able to move his legs a little and could almost sit up straight with out any support. Even his transfer to his chair went more fluently.

Looking down at his bare feet, he wondered if he could take a few steps. Logan set his chair on brakes and placed his feet, which landed heavily, on the wooden floor .

On the count of three he pushed himself up.

"Aarghhh" -He screamed, when he realised that his body wasn't strong enough to be able to stand. Logan landed flat down. With frustration he hit his fists on the wooden panels.

Bling heard the commotion in the room and rushed over to Logan who lay frustrated on the floor.

"Easy, Logan . . . easy. You got to have patience." -He hooked Logan under his arms and placed him back in his chair.

Logan grunted.

When Bling was about to reposition him better in his chair, Logan raised his hand, telling him to stop. Bling backed off and left the room.

It took him a moment to gather himself back together. Grumpily, he dragged his legs back on the footrest and wheeled himself over to the bathroom

There suffered great discomfort again from going to the toilet. At this moment he wished that he couldn't feel it, but he knocked it off on the wooden cabinet.

At the sink he washed his hands and face and brushed his teeth and continued to take a shower and dressed himself up. As a finishing touch, he ran a towel through his wet hair and tossed it in the laundry basket.

. . .

"Sorry." -Logan apologised when he entered the living room.

Bling looked up from his sports magazine.

"You need to fix your temper, Logan."

"Sorry."-he apologised again. "It's just, I want to be out of that damned chair as soon as possible."

"Patience, Logan. You got to have patience."

"I want to walk again, Bling." - Logan sighed.

"Why don't you have breakfast first, and then we will work on that."

"Great!" -A smile appeared on Logan's face, and he left to the kitchen.

Logan quickly finished his breakfast and wheeled over to his bedroom to change himself into his working-out clothes.

"I'm ready!" -Logan said excitedly when he entered the living room

"That was fast." -Bling laughed and threw the magazine on the coffee table. "But first, I've got something for you." -He handed Logan a wrapped up long parcel.

"A present for me ?"

"Just open it."

Logan tore the paper and laughed.

"Wow, Bling you shouldn't have to." -He joked. Logan was holding one black streamlined elbow crutch.

"It's the latest model." -Bling informed him. "And the other one is in the therapy room."

Bling stood up and took the black crutch, so Logan had his hands free for the wheels and headed to the therapy room.

. . .

"Do you think you can manage to get up there?" -Bling motioned toward the exercise table.

Logan struggled a bit, but he was able to.

Bling did a few warming up exercises and some muscle strengthening routines with Logan.

"Bling? Why are you smiling?" -Logan had spotted the grin on Bling's face.

"Nothing! I just notice that you are fighting against my range of exercises!"

"Because now I am able too." -Logan grinned.

"Yeah, your muscles are pretty strong now!" -Bling continued with the last set of exercises.

. . .

"OK, lets get you on the exercise bridge."

Logan transferred himself back in the chair and rolled over to the end of the bridge and locked his brakes.

"Grab the pools, Logan, and pull yourself up." -Bling was in front of Logan.

"Lift up your right foot. . . . . . Very good . . . . . And now the other . . . . Brilliant.".

Logan was breathing heavily, because took him a lot of effort .

"Do you want to rest, Logan?"

"No. . ." Logan replied.

"OK, try to take a step forward, but remember to shift your weight forward."

Logan slowly took a step.

"Very good. . . . .. . . Now, take another step. . .. .. .. Good . . . . . . . Try to walk to the end of the bridge."

Logan could manage to take a few more step, he was geting better and better. But he was going to fast and it went wrong. He stumbled over his own feet. He almost landed on the floor if it wasn't for Bling, who caught him.

"Damn it!" -He grunted.

"Easy Logan, you were going to fast. You've got to have patience." -Bling placed him back in his chair. "Take it easy OK? We're gonna take a break."

"Damn it! I don't want to take it easy!" - Logan grunted madly at himself.

"Patience Logan . . . Patience." -Bling tried to calm Logan down.



Logan took a zip from his water bottle. "OK, lets do it again!"

"You need to take it easy, otherwise you will burn out. Your muscles aren't used to work so hard." -Bling told him again.

Logan sighed and took another zip.

A few minutes later he hoisted himself up again. And practice walking between the pools.

Bling rolled his eyes when he saw Logan standing up and decided to walk without waiting for him. Bling knew that he couldn't stop Logan from being stubborn. He was to determined to walk again.

Logan was able to walk all the way to the end and back, then practiced to sit down from a standing position and to stand up again. He continued this routine many time and eventually learned to use the crutches.

Bling told him to at least take a break and warned him that he will burn out if he didn't, but Logan stubbornly would not listen.

Logan was all red and sweaty, he was tired, but he kept on going.

"Arghh S*** "

Logan's arms and legs were giving up on him, and he collapsed. Bling's quick reaction had soften his fall.

"OK, you've done enough for today." -Bling took away his crutches and picked him up from the floor and carefully lay him down on the exercise table.

Logan's legs were shaking from exhaustion and his arms were trembling.

"I don't want to say 'I told you so', but you just wouldn't listen to me." -Bling sighed and started to work on his legs. With firm kneading motions he started to massage him.

"Urgh" -Logan winced. He could feel his body shake, but he couldn't control it. Closing his eyes, he felt the firm kneading from Bling which was more uncomfortable that the trembling itself.

When Bling was finally satisfied with the work he has done on the legs and back, he padded on Logan's knee.

"Do you think you can sit down?" -Bling asked.

"Yeah." -He grunted. Logan propped himself up and dragged himself into a seated position.

"Uh" -He winced again.

"Feeling OK?" -Bling asked.

"Everything hurts" -He grunted.

"Told you to slow it down." -He laughed. "But you wouldn't listen." -He added seriously.

"Yeah, Yeah , Go ahead, rub it in. I deserve that."

"Indeed you do!" -Bling joked.

Bling helped him transferring back in the chair. Logan accepted his help, because he knew he wouldn't have made it on his own, since his arms were all feeling limp from exhaustion.
