The Hospital and Fears: Chapter Two:
Daisy, Luke, and Jesse all entered Bo's Hospital Room, and they were heartbroken to see the condition Bo was in, and once the Nurses were done settling Bo in, they were at Bo's side, and they made sure that he was safe, and sound.
Meanwhile, Coy, Jeb, and Vance were taking care of everything at the farm, and when they were cooking dinner, Vance said angrily out loud, "I can't wait until I get my hands on the person who hurt Bo, they are gonna wish that they weren't born!" and Coy calmed him down, and said, "That's not gonna help Bo, and we are here now to help everyone, so please keep the temper in check", and Vance smiled, and said, "You are a pretty smart fellow", and Coy said, "It's about time you noticed", and Jeb said, "Let's stop talking, Guys, Daisy, Uncle Jesse, and Luke will be home, and will probably be hungry", and the two cousins nodded, and they went back to prepare the meal.
Bo was settled in and asleep, and the rest of the Dukes sat down, and kept watch, and Jesse said to the sleeping form of his youngest nephew, "Oh, My Little Boy, I promise you that whoever did this to you, they will pay, Duke's Honor, and I won't stop until that happens", and he moved some of Bo's Blond Hair out of his eyes, and then he fought the urge to fall asleep, and Daisy said, "Come on, Uncle Jesse, Let's go home", and he began to protest, and Luke stopped him, and said, "Go on, Uncle Jesse, It would do you and Daisy some good to get something to eat, and sleep, and if anything changes, I promise to call you", and Jesse nodded, and he and Daisy left, and Luke settled into a bed besides his cousin, and fell asleep.
When Jesse and Daisy came home they gasped the sight of the house being cleaned, and dinner being on the table, and Coy, Vance, and Jeb loved the surprised expressions on their faces, and they told them to sit down, and they served them, and themselves, and Jesse did the blessing, and they ate the wonderful meal, and during Dessert Time, Daisy said happily, "Guys, If I knew that you could cook like this, I would've hung my apron a long time ago", and that was music to the guys' ears, and they had a pleasant evening for once in 2 days.
The Nurse, Nurse Laura brought in Bo and Luke's meals, and Luke thanked her, and Bo woke up, and saw Luke was there, and then moaned in pain, cause he had a cramp in his shoulders, and then he continued to look at Luke, and instead of curling into a ball, or screaming, he was hesitant, and then moaned out in pain once again, and Luke had this say to him.
"Hey, Cousin, I want you to know that I would never hurt you, and neither would Uncle Jesse, or Daisy, we all love you to pieces", and Bo still didn't say a word, and Luke said, "You are in pain, Do you trust me to massage your shoulders? Do you trust me with your life?" and Bo nodded slowly, and Luke said, "Come here", and Bo did as he was told, and Luke massaged his cousin's shoulders slowly, and Bo felt a little bit better, and Bo said in a whisper, "Thank you, Luke", and Luke smiled and nodded, and then Luke smiled, and said, "Are you ready to eat this poor excuse for food?" and Bo smiled and nodded, and Luke fed his cousin first, and then ate his own supper, and they spent the rest of the time talking and laughing, and Luke thought happily to himself, "It's just like old times again, and I will help Bo get through his awful experience of Hell, if it's the last thing I do", and Bo fell asleep for the rest of the night, and Luke spent the rest of the time stroking his cousin's hair, and made sure that he has a peaceful sleep.
The next morning, Jesse and Daisy were on their way to the hospital, and Coy, Vance, and Jeb were doing chores, and he said, "Are you gonna come with us?" and Coy said, "We got to get this done", and Vance said, "Yeah, Give Bo our love", and Jeb said, "Tell him we will see him later", and Daisy said, "We will", and then they left them to their work, and they were on their way to Tri-County Hospital to see their loved one.
Luke woke up, and saw that Bo was still sleeping, and he left the room, and stretched out his muscles, and he was in another world with happy memories of himself, and Bo as kids, and he smiled, and then he was snapped back into the Present, by Jesse's voice, "How is he, Luke?" and he gave his cousin, and uncle his full attention, and said this.
"I think I got through to him last night, Uncle Jesse", Luke said with a smile, and Daisy and Jesse were glad to see Luke's famous grin, and Jesse said, "That's good, Luke", and Luke said, "I think he is ready for some visitors, but approach slowly, OK?" Daisy and Jesse nodded, and then they all headed in to see Bo.
Boss Hogg heard about the awful experience that happened to Bo Duke, and he found out it was an enemy of Bo's and he is offering a reward for the recapture of Bruce Davison, and the town is helping out, whenever they are needed, they loved the Duke family, and they would do anything for them.
Bo woke up to sound of his family, and he slowly smiled at his uncle and Daisy, and he noticed that they were hesitant about coming in, and Bo said, "Come on in, I am not gonna bite, and I am so sorry about earlier", and he offered his arms out for an hug, and they hugged him, and they all talked, and Luke said, "Bo, When you are ready to talk about your experience, We will be here, no pressure, OK?" and he smiled, and nodded gratefully, and then they talked for awhile, and Jesse looked at his watch, and said, "I got to help Coy, Vance, and Jeb with the chores", and he left, and then a new doctor came in to the room, Dr. Christine Taylor, A pretty Blond Haired, Blue Eyed beauty came in, and smiled at Bo.
"Hello, Bo, I am Dr. Taylor, but you can call me Christine", and he bunched up his blanket to himself, and was hesitant, and embarrassed, and she said in understanding, "I know you feel humiliated, and embarrassed about your situation, and I thought a woman is the best choice, to treat you, Would you let me treat you?" he hesitated, and nodded, and she smiled, and said, "Good, Would you want your family to stay, or leave?" and he said pleading to his cousins, "Please stay with me, Guys!" and Luke said, "They would have to throw me out", and Daisy said, "Of course, Darlin'", and then Bo turned to Christine and nodded to her to start her examination.
As Jesse pulled up, the other Duke boys went straight to him, and Vance said, "How's Bo doing?" and Jesse said with a smile, "He made a breakthrough, he is better today, so you can see him", and the boys cheered, and Coy said, "Does he remember anything?" and Jesse shook his head at his youngest, and said, "No, I am sorry", and Jeb said to his cousins, "I think we should take Bo some his favorite Chocolate Bars", and Vance and Coy nodded to that idea, and they went in to have some supper.
Christine lifted the top part of the blanket off of Bo, and peeled off the top of his Hospital Gown down, and took a look at all of the bruises, and welts, and cuts, and nodded, and made some notes in her chart on Bo, and then she took a stethoscope to his chest, and he shuddered at the touch, and she listened to his chest, and was satisfied that everything there was normal, then she said, "You are gonna hate me for this but I have to examine your Internal Injuries", and he nodded, and said, "Do it", and he held Luke's and Daisy's hand each into his own, and grunted at the discomfort feeling, and then she had to see his backside, and she gently took a look, and made some more notes, and she helped put his gown back up, and helped settled him back down, and she said, "You are lucky that you don't need Major Surgery, but you are gonna need some to treat the cuts", and he nodded, and Christine said, "It will happen in 2 days, you will be in and out", and he nodded, and she said, "Now rest, you deserve it, Honey", and she said to Luke and Daisy, "Make sure that he is not stressed again", and they nodded, and then she left the three Dukes alone, and once that happened, they talked, and then once Bo was in a peaceful sleep, Daisy and Luke went to eat, and get something for Bo for later, and then update Jesse further on Bo's condition.
At Jesse's urging, Coy, Vance, and Jeb went out to "The Boar's Nest", and they tried to have a fun time, but they couldn't help think about Bo, and the hell he went through, and that it was their last night, and Coy said, "We have to make it a point to make up here every 3 months, instead of once a year", and Vance said, "Yeah, they're family, and they need us", and Jeb said, "All in favor for Coy's motion, Say "I" ", and they said in unison loudly, "I!" and after that they were able to have a fun time.
Luke, Bo, and Daisy were enjoy each other's company, and they were talking about old times, and what is going on in town, and Bo was touched by everyone's concern, and everyone visited him, and not treated him differently, and he appreciated it, and also they gave him his space, and let him come to them when they are, ready. Daisy let out a yawn, and Bo said, "Daisy, You are tired, you should go home, you have to work a Double Shift at "The Boar's Nest", so please go home and rest up", and Daisy said protesting, "I am not tired", and Luke said, "Sweetie, You aren't fooling us, so go home, and sleep, and give Uncle Jesse our love", and she nodded, and left. Bo and Luke continued to talk, until they fall asleep.
Jesse was reading the newspaper when Daisy entered, and she told him about Bo's condition, and about the surgery, and he was relieved that it's Minor Surgery, but he still couldn't help be afraid for his youngest nephew, his baby boy, and he said, "We got to see J.D. in the morning, see if he can give you some time off, and then go up to be with Bo, he is gonna need us", and she nodded, and she, and Jesse went peacefully to sleep that night.
Vance, Coy, and Jeb told Daisy and Jesse the next morning, that they have to go back to Atlanta for Jeb's Race, and they nodded in understanding, and they thanked them for all their help, and the boys went with Jesse, and Daisy to say "goodbye" to Bo and Luke.
Bo was crying, and thinking about that his life won't be the same once everything is back to normal, and Luke noticed, and said, "What's wrong, Bo?" and Bo said, "How could you stand me after finding out what happened to me? You must be repulsed by me", and Luke dried his cousin's eyes, and said sternly, "Now listen to me, Beauguard Duke, I love you, so does Daisy, and Uncle Jesse, and you make our lives complete, and it's not your fault, it's not, so please relax, Understand Me?" Bo composed himself, and nodded, and then he felt better enough to tell Luke what happened to him, and he said, "Luke? I am ready to talk", and Luke said, "Well then, I am ready to listen to you, Cousin", and Bo proceeded to tell his story.
The meeting with Boss was successful, and he was glad to give Daisy time off, and he told them to tell Bo, he said, "Best Wishes", Jesse told Daisy, and the boys on the way to see Bo "Don't be pushy, Bo will respond to each of us at his own time", and they nodded, and Daisy smiled as she saw 2 Chocolate Bars each in her cousins' hands, and she said with a smile, "Bo will love these", and they nodded, and they proceed along the route to the hospital.
Bo told Luke what happened on the awful day he was abused, and raped, and he told Luke, the reason he freaked out back at the Cabin, cause Davison had Brown Hair, like Luke's and then he went into his past with Davison, and Luke got angry, and Bo said with his voice breaking concluding, "That's why I let it happened to me, I didn't want you, Uncle Jesse, or Daisy to get hurt", and Luke said gently, "It's not your fault, Bo, it's not, and you did what you thought was right, and you saved us, I am just sorry for the hell you went through", and Bo nodded, and Luke comforted him, and they had their breakfast, and waited for the family to come visit.
Jesse and everyone entered the room, and everyone was in a pleasant mood, for a change, and Jeb promised to send him a Video of the Race, and then the boys presented Bo with their gift, and Bo chuckled, and said, "My Favorite", and Vance and the guys announced they were leaving after their visit, and Bo and Luke were sad to see their cousins leave, and promised to call them after Bo's Surgery, and then the boys left in Vance's car, and the rest of the Dukes spent their time with Bo.
The next morning was Bo's Surgery, and Bo relaxed when Christine told him that she will be there assisting Dr. Appleby, and then she gave something to make Bo relax, and the Dukes went to the Waiting Room, and then Bo was taken into O.R. for Surgery.
Luke was nervous, and Daisy put a comforting hand on his shoulder, and she said with confidence, "He is gonna be fine, Luke, you got to have faith, Cousin", and he smiled, and nodded, knowing Daisy was right, and they went to sit by Jesse, who was the couch, and they waited for the news on Bo, and what his condition is gonna be.
Bo was doing well, and his stats were excellent, and Dr. Appleby said into Bo's ear, "We are almost done, stay with me, Bo, you are doing good, Son", and Christine whispered into Bo's ear, "Honey, Keep continuing to do well, it will be over before you know it", and then an hour later, it was over, and Christine went to update the Dukes on Bo's new Condition Status, as Bo was being wheeled into the Recovery Room.
Luke stood up when he saw Christine, and the other Dukes did the same, and Christine said with a smile, "Bo did excellent, and he should be good as new in a couple of weeks, he has to stay here to do some Therapy, so please bring him some comfortable pajamas, and some sweatpants, and shorts, and sneakers, and some little items to make it feel like home, OK?", and they nodded, and thanked her, and Christine said with a smile as she looked at her watch, and back at them, "They should have Bo settled in the Recovery Room, I will take you down now", and they followed the young pretty Doctor down the corridor.
The Dukes got to the Recovery Room, and were glad to see that Bo was in a peaceful sleep, and Luke said whispering proudly into his ear, "Brother, You did great, I am so proud of you!" and Daisy said, "Bo, I can't wait to see those eyes open once again, and that smile you use to wow the girls", and Jesse said, "Sprout, You rest now, you don't need to worry about anything anymore", and he watched the monitors beep along, as if Bo understood him, and responded.
The next week when Bo was strong enough, he was doing his Physical Therapy, and his family was helping out whenever they did, and they noticed that Bo still wasn't himself, and they were worried, but they aren't gonna push it, and Bo is making so much progress, he could leave for home earlier than his schedule date.
Coy and the guys called everyday, and they were happy to hear that Bo was making progress, and they were sad to hear that Bo is acting strangely, and they made their family call if they need them back there, and they sent the tape, and Bo, Luke, Daisy, and Jesse were proud of Jeb's 1st place victory in his race.
The day finally came, Bo was to go home, and he still had some Outpatient Therapy to do, but Luke insisted that he could help Bo, and Christine showed the Paperwork on the Exercises, and the correct form to do it, and Bo hugged his doctor, and said, "Thank you for everything, Christine", and she smiled, and said, "You are welcome, Bo", and she hugged him back, and she handed him a card, and said, "If You get angry, or Feeling angry, and don't want to direct towards the wrong person, Having nightmares, call me at anytime", and she hugged him, and the Dukes, and the got into Daisy's Jeep, "Dixie", and drove off for home, and the ride was made in silence, and Bo took out Christine's card and looked at it.
It read this, "Dr. Christine A. Taylor, Licensed Medical Doctor, and Therapist, "I can squash any problems like a bug, Guaranteed Satisfaction, or Double your money back", 447 Park Street, Atlanta, GA, 09875, Phone Number, 258-369-1478", and Bo nodded taken Christine's advice into consideration, he put the card into Shirt Breast Pocket, of his usual Yellow Shirt, and focused on the rest of the journey home to Hazzard County.
