Sorry it took so long to update. There was a lot that needed to be said!
"It's Abby. I need help Neela."
Neela sighed. She knew Abby needed help. But Dr. Lewis and Dr. Carter were trying to help her. Neela questioned herself. "It's going to be o.k. Abby. You are going to be o.k."
"Thanks Neela." Neela nodded although the woman on the other end of the phone couldn't see her. Neela told the woman she would call her back. She needed to find a rehab center. Neela was going to help her no matter what it would take. She wanted Abby to be better for Luka and Joe. Neela went on her computer and logged into her hospital account and looked up some of the best centers in Chicago and dialed their number.
"Hello, this is the Chicago Health and Rehabiitation Center, how can I help you?" Neela sighed and looked at the reviever. She brought it back to her ear.
"Hi. I'm Neela Rosgotra, I work at County General Hospital. I want to admit a friend into your program as soon as possible." Neela started shaking. Never in her life did she think that one day she was going to have to admit one of her friends into a rehab center for drinking.
"Alright. I need your friend's name and the problem." Problem. Abby has a problem.
"Abby Lockhart. She was and alcoholic, but recovered, however now she has started to drink again. She called me minutes ago saying she needed help." Neela's voice started cracking.
"Alright." Neela heard the woman type rapidly on her keyboard. "It will be a faster recovery process when she has already asked for help." Neela nodded although the woman couldn't see it. "We can admit her at nine tomorrow morning." Neela was relieved and completely thankful.
"Thank you so much." She hung up and called Abby. "Abby, it's Neela." Abby smiled grateful. Abby heard it in her voice. She was finally going to get help. She just wished Luka was there.
"I'm going to rehab." It wasn't a question. It was a statement.
"nine a.m." Abby was relieve.
"Thank you. You have no idea how much I appreciate this. Thank you."
"I'll come over at seven thirty tomorrow. I'll help pack and get Joe ready."
"That would be great Neela." Abby sighed not wanting this part to come. "But Neela, before you drop me off, I want to drop Joe off at Susan's." Neela was confused. She took care of Joe after the accident. Why would it be different this time?
