Leonard had been laid up at home for the past week after reattaching his toe. He had to wear a special boot and put no weight on his foot, which made Leonard walk with crutches. The other thing he did not like was having his whole foot throb in pain and having to take pain killers. Which would leave him in a state Penny found it hilarious and take selfies with him and post on her Instagram account.
That all began her finally posting the videos of him high from the morphine in the hospital and drug store on Penny's stories on Instagram. Leonard got quite a bit of grief the next day from Howard, Raj, and Bernadette. Yet somehow Leonard took it and just let it go because it made his wife happy. He had to let Penny have this since she was the one taking care of him and putting up with him when he was in pain.
Leonard just wished those pictures and videos did not lead video chat from his mom whom anaylized his attitude. Also his brother and sister left comments on Penny's Instagram thay where not so pleasing. But he tired his best taking his wife's advice and ignored their comments. Even though she did give Leonard a hard time about it.
Dispite all that, Penny was a pretty good care taker. The first few days she took off so she was there for Leonard and made sure he did not get out of bed without her help. She always made his foot was propped up when he was in bed or laying on the living room couch.
By the third day Sheldon and Amy arrived home. Of course Sheldon complained that he did not like Leonard had his head on his spot. Then there was also where Leonard wished he had a more serious injury because Sheldon would not shut up about what diseases Leonard could die from now he had an injury to the foot. Gangrene was on top of Sheldon's list. Leonard thought he was going to go crazy that day since Sheldon insisted Penny to go back to work and he took care of Leonard. Sheldon even typed up a quick a non complain while I take care of you agreement. Penny of course found it hilarious.
Leonard was glad when time came when he could return to work. The night before he did though, Leonard and Penny were laying in bed. He turned to lay on his side as he watched his wife read some gossip magazine. "So are you sad you don't have to take care of me or come home to check up on me anymore?" He asked trying to sound sad.
Penny sat down her magazine, turned her head to look at her husband. Her look was deadpan as she bit her bottom lip. With a sincere sounding voice, "Of course. you really was a very good patient."
Leonard whole face lit up with a big grin, "Really? Hmm, does this patient get rewarded for being a good boy Doctor Penny?" He said wiggling his eyebrows.
Penny let out a quick laugh, then lifted an eyebrow, "Doctor Penny? I like the sound of that... So yes, yes you do get rewarded Hofstadter." Before Penny could say or do anything else all she saw was her magazine fly across the room and Leonard kissing her all over.
