After putting Sophia to sleep Dr. Peterson started to cut her open with Dr. Noah handing him his surgery tools. As soon as Dr. Peterson cut open Sophia's bladder the loudest fart whistled out causing the walls and door to shake.
"MA!" Dorothy cried out as she saw the door and wall shake from her mother's room.
"She's all right. The doctors are just getting the gas out of her is all." Blance said as she took her best friend's hand in hers and shook it slightly.
Rose looked first at the wall and door and than back at Dorothy and gently took her best friends other hand into her hand and softly strokes the hand.
Dorothy unknowing gripped her two best friends hands so hard that the two women felt like their hands were breaking.
"Almost done Dr. Peterson?" The nurse asked as she watched Dr. Peterson start to stitch up Sophia's bladder.
"Yes." Dr. Peterson commented as he concerned on getting the stitches in a neat roll.
Dr. Noah handed Dr. Peterson the badges and together with the help of nurse they wrapped Sophia up.
"Go tell the family." Dr. Peterson said as he took his mask off.
The nurse went to the door.
The three women stood up together still holding hands when the door opened and out walked the nurse.
"You may go in there now. Your mother won't wake up for several hours yet." The nurse said to Dorothy.
Dorothy brought her hands along with Rose and Balance's to her chest and she closed her eyes and said "Thank you God." Still holding her best friends hands she walked into her mother's room.
"Oh God Ma ..." Dorothy cried softly at the sight of her mother uncounicess in the hospital bed. She held tightly to Balance and Rose's hands as they walked to the side of Sophia's bed.
"She looks so small." Rose said softly with tears running down her cheeks.
"So fragile." Blance whispered.
Dorothy let the women's hands go and she sat in the only chair that was beside the bed. She reached out and took hold of her mother's hand and held it between her own and waited for Sophia to wake up.
Rose and Blance went and sat in the two chairs that were closets to the door and watched Dorothy.
Several hours passed and no one had moved.
Sophia slowly opened her eyes. "Dorothy ... well am I?"
"Ma you are all right." Dorothy cried. She leaned over and kissed her mother repeating on the cheek and forehead. She sobbed into her mother's neck before she pulled away.
"Of course I'm all right. Why shouldn't I be?" Sophia asked shocked.
"You are in hospital Sophia." Blance stood up and walked over to the bed. "You had to have emergency surgery." Rose followed Blance.
"Yes for my unstoppable farting." Sophia said with a nod. "Well I don't hear anything so I guess they stopped it huh."
The three women nodded their heads.
"Well time to go home than." Sophia pulled the blankets aside and started to get out of bed.
"Ma! Stay there you can't leave it we have to have the doctor check you out and see what he says." Dorothy stood up quickly and pushed her mother gently back toward the bed and covered her back up.
"I'll go get the doctor." Rose said and left the room.
