Yeah another chapter! I don't own dbz or the characters.
Ease My Pain Chapter 29
As goku and chichi left out the room to follow the doctor chichi, couldn't help to think about the dream she had. She wondered if that was going to happen and hopefully the doctor will tell us good news. Goku looked at chichi walking next to him wondering if she was worried. "Are you ok, chichi?" "Not really I'm really worried goku! What would happen if that dream was true?!"
"Chichi, I know you can't help but worry but let's not think about that happening but find out what we can do to prevent it." Goku couldn't help but wonder himself about the dream and hopefully it doesn't come to past.
They both walked in the doctor's office and sat down and the doctor closed the door and put gohans chart on his desk and sat down as well. Chichi and goku took a deep breath cause their emotions were running high worrying about their son.
The doctor opened gohans chart to look at some things. He already knew what was in his chart cause he read it earlier but he looked at it again cause he didn't remember everything. "Well first of all I want to tell you both that from the looks of it gohans going to be ok."
Goku and chichi took a deep breath like if someone had been holding a rope around their necks. Just hearing that brought them some relief.
The doctor looked at them seriously. "But there is some other things that need to be considered cause his condition can get dangerous." said the doctor. Chichi touched gokus arm with worry in her eyes and goku looked at chichi with worry also.
"The problem were having is vomiting up blood that is caused by small rips in the stomach lining where there is a really bad infection also the intestinal tract is infected as well, and ALL, that came from the heavy dosage of poison. Now the infections can clear up and get better as long as he doesn't be given anymore of that MP9-7 but, the rips in the stomach lining may give him a problem for a while and cause him a lot of pain even after he leaves and goes home." Said the doctor.
"So what your saying is gohans going to have problems for the rest of his life!" said chichi worried.
"Actually what I'm saying is the poison caused a lot of damage. When he first came in here there wasn't any damage at all but an infection and giving him some antibiotics, and some bed rest, was all he needed but since he was given a double dose of that poison, it caused him more problems like, more pain, barely eating, and it caused us to change his medication to a higher dosage."
"Are the rips in the stomach lining going to heal or is that permanent?" asked goku. "Well it can heal on its own or it may not and there have been some cases where I have seen patients who have had rips in the stomach lining and they have healed up. That's, going to be gohans biggest problem if he doesn't heal up and get better."
"Is this going to affect his life like school or going places?" asked chichi. "Well yes and no. When he gets sick, that might keep him from going places and it all depends on hows he's feeling cause he may have bad days and then he just might be able to deal with the pain. What I'm going to do is prescribe pain killers for gohan to take everyday or only if he needs to take them." Said the doctor.
"Will he have to take them for the rest of his life?" said goku wondering. "It all depends on the healing process he can heal up and get better and not have to take anymore pain killers or end up getting injections if those rips in the lining don't get better."
"What would happen if it doesn't get better?" said chichi worried. "Then we would have to do surgery." "Surgery!" said goku and chichi.
"Yes, that's the last resort but in gohans case it shouldn't be surgery he may be in bad shape for right now and running a high fever but I don't think it might get that bad down the road."
Listening to the doctor talk about gohans condition had chichi and goku not worried too much but they were wondering about what kind of life their son would have to deal with having pain off and on. "If theirs no more questions I need to be getting to my other patients." Said the doctor.
Goku wanted to ask the doctor one more thing before they left. "When is our son going to be out of intensive care and when do you think he can come home?" said goku. "Well it all depends on how fast the infection and fever goes away to come out of the danger zone and come out of I.C.U. and IF he is well enough to walk on his own without bending over in pain to leave the hospital." Said the doctor.
Goku and chichi had no more questions to ask and they thanked the doctor and left his office to see gohan. When they walked in his room the nurse was getting him to drink some juice from a straw cause it was very hard for him to eat. It seemed like when he took sips of juice it was painful cause after every swallow he closed his eyes.
The nurse put the juice on the small table and told him he could drink some more if he wanted. She left out the room and goku and chichi sat and next to his bed and talked to him about what the doctor said. Gohan wasn't very happy about what they said and thought about getting mace for doing this to him. He thought why should he have to pay when mace is doing harm to people all the time! It just wasn't fair! Thought gohan. "This is just great! How am I going to deal with this everyday?!" said gohan upset.
"Son your going to heal up it's not like your going to be in pain everyday!" said chichi.
"But I could be! How am I going to go to school and have to deal with this?!"
"Gohan listen to me! It's not going to be easy but the doctor said you would heal up if you don't get poisoned again. Were just going to make sure that you take good care of yourself." said goku calmly.
Gohan thought that his life was ruined. He felt like he was going to be helpless. Goku and chichi talked with gohan for little while encouraging him not to fear and it was going to be ok. Gohan did feel encourage but he felt bad at the same time. Chichi and goku got up and kissed gohan goodnight cause they had been with him all afternoon.
The nurse walked in and injected his I.V. with the antibiotic and painkiller so he could sleep and his fever to go down and left out the room. "We love you son. Will see you tomorrow." Said goku.
Chichi and goku left by instant transmission. Goku and chichi arrived home and went and got the laundry out of the dryer from earlier she came back in the room and saw goku resting on the couch.
She walked over. "Are you ok?" "Yeah I'm fine chichi I'm just thinking." "About what?" said chichi folding gotten and gohans clothes.
"About this mace guy. I want to know who is he?"
Chichi stopped folding the clothes and sat next to goku on the couch. "Goku, I'm worried, who is this CREEP that poisoned our SON and why are we JUST SITTING AROUND and not doing ANYTHING?!" "I want to call bulma I need for her to do me a favor." "What is calling bulma got anything to do with this guy?" Goku got on the phone and quickly called bulma and not thinking about answering her question.
***********
Videl just finished her homework and called erasa. "Hey girl what's up?" said videl. "Oh nothing I just finished my homework and I was cleaning some of my room." Said erasa. "I just finished myself." said videl.
"Did you call bulma yet?" said erasa.
"No I didn't I was too busy concentrating on doing my homework so I won't have to worry about gohan." said videl.
"I've been worried also but I just want to know if he's ok."
"Could you hold on a minute erasa I have a beep? Hello?"
"Hi videl this is bulma!" "Hey bulma what's up?" "Nothing much I just need to ask you something."
"Ok."
"I need for you and your friends that came to hospital to come to my house right now if possible."
"Well I'll see if I can and I'll ask erasa. She's on the phone with me now." "Ok good, see you later."
Bulma hung up and videl clicked back over. "Hey erasa? Can you leave the house?" said videl. "Well I don't know I have to ask my parents. Why?"
"Well bulma just asked me to come over and bring you guys."
"Did she say what she wanted?"
"You know I forgot and I didn't even get a chance to ask about gohan."
"We can ask when we get there." said erasa.
"Well let me call Brandon cause he needs to come too."
Videl put erasa on hold and three-way the call. When she clicked back over erasa was on the phone. "Are you their erasa?" "Yeah I'm here." "I hope Brandon picks up." Said videl.
"Hello!" "Hey Brandon it's videl." "Hi videl what's up?"
"Oh the same thing. Hey Brandon can you leave the house right now?" said videl.
"I think so. Why?"
"Cause bulma wants to see us."
"Is gohan ok?"
"Well she didn't say." said videl. "I hope so." Said erasa. "Oh, hello erasa I didn't know you were here!" "Ok guys listen, I'll be at your house in ten minutes." "Ok kool! I'll see you then." Said erasa hanging up. "I guess I'll see you in fifteen." Said videl. "Ok kool." Said Brandon.
***********
At bulma's house goku showed up by instant transmission in the living room.
"Hey goku!" said bulma walking in.
"Hi. Where's vegeta?"
"Guess?"
"Why did I ask?" said goku rolling his eyes.
"Hey daddy!" said goten running in. "Hey my little man!" said goku picking goten up and hugging him. "I'm sorry goten we haven't spent some time together. But I promise I'll make it up to you." Said goku.
"Is gohan ok?" asked goten. "Well, he is doing a little better." said goku cracking a smile.
"Isn't he coming home tomorrow?" "Well not right now goten he's going to be in their just a little while longer. Maybe tomorrow will take you to see him." "Ok" said goten.
Goku let goten go and he went back to trucks room. The doorbell ringed and videl erasa, and Brandon were showed to the living room. "Hi guys! Come in and have a seat." said bulma. The butler came in brought a tray of juice, tea and snacks. "Are you gohans father?" asked Brandon.
"Yes I am."
"You can see the resemblance." Said erasa.
"You must work out?" said videl.
"Well I do." said goku smiling and scratching his head.
"That must be why gohans got muscles." said erasa smiling looking at videl.
"Yeah with all the training.....
"Goku?!" said bulma interrupting.
"Oh yeah I wanted to ask you guys something." Said goku. "Before we answer can we know how gohans doing?" said videl.
"Well-l-l..... he's doing not so great for right now. He was vomiting up blood and has a high fever and is in a lot of pain."
"What! Is he OK?" said erasa.
"Yeah, is he going to LIVE?!" said videl.
"Guys calm down he didn't say he was going to DIE!" said Brandon. "Wow goku I didn't know that?!" said bulma. "Well I didn't get a chance to tell you I just got here!" said goku. "Is gohan going to be ok?" said Brandon worried. "Well he's sort of upset about having an infection but that will clear up and heal as time goes along and that's what brings me to this question, which I don't know if you can answer. Do you guys know who mace is?"
Videl and erasa looked at each other puzzled. Brandon didn't say anything cause he knew exactly what goku was talking about and what was so weird was, gohan never said anything about being around mace thought Brandon.
