I only own Anna!

Chapter 10

The next few days were anything but crazy. Between the mob working their legs off to get ready for the protest art the city council meeting; making sure everyone has their 'suits' which is a lot especially since we gained more dancers for the cause; work, which Emily was doing really great with since her and Sean started rehearsing together; and wedding plans... well at least what I could manage between everything.

With everything going on its been putting a lot of pressure on my hip so it's been in constant pain. I've tried taking the meds I've had since the surgery but it hasn't been helping much.

The pain is starting to get so unbearable that I finally decided to call my doctor. My appointment is the same day as the protest but luckily it's a hour after its over.

I haven't even bother to tell Eddy or Sean about it because I don't want them to worry or stress over me with everything going on; besides it could just be nothing that some meds can't take care... at least I hope so.

'Meow meow'

I hear Zeus trying to wake me up but I just pull the blanket over my face. I don't need to be up for another thirty minutes.

'Meow meow'

I let him continue for a few minutes not being able to go back to sleep. And I swear that I can hear the annoyance in his meow.

Not being able to take me ignore him anymore he attacks my messy bun that is sticking out of the blankets. He gives it a nice yank making me yelp.

I suddenly hear chuckling. I pull the blanket down to see Eddy leaning against the door way with a very amused look on his face.

"Do we amuse you?" I ask with a smile. All he does is chuckle again giving me my answer.

I sit up pulling Zeus into my lap. He instantly starts to purr.

"Y'all ready for today?" I ask. Today was the big protest.

"Hell yeah, those guys have no idea what they are in for."

I smile at my fiance but behind it I'm freaking out. Today is also my doctor appointment and I'm afraid of the worse.

I get out of bed and finch from the pain. I was going it would go unnoticed by Eddy but no.

"Sweetie are you ok?" He asks with worry in his voice. I put on a fake smile, "Yeah I'm fine my knee just locked up on me." He looks at me for a second to see if I'm really ok or not before saying 'ok'.

I am dressed in my own business like suit but different from everyone else. I walk to the front desk to get information that I don't really need or care about. That's when it starts.

The fire alarm is going off (thanks to my lovely fiance) which interrupts the meeting for which we are all here in the first place.

The performance is absolutely amazing and I just love how they incorporate the robotic business moves into it.

Soon its time to high tail out of there and I couldn't help but stare at Mercury's giant metal man he put together during all that. He really out done himself... they all did.

I've been sitting in the exam room for about fifteen minutes now and I cannot sit still at all.

Finally the doctor comes in.

"Hi Anna, it's been a while," Dr. Tarver says to me. I just nod my head.

"So what has been going in with her hip?"

I start to explain how I first started to get the pinching pain up to now. Explaining all the activity I've been doing, running around wise and how my old pain pills have no effect on it.

After writing everything down while listening he takes me to get an x-ray done.

I'm sitting in his office waiting very impatiently for the results may be.

After what seems like several hours he finally comes in.

"Ok Anna I've got some good and some slightly bad news."

My heart speeds up.

"Give me the good news first." It barely comes out above a whisper.

"Good news is that the plate is in great condition and there is no reason we have to replace it."

I sigh with relief. "And the bad news?"

"We will have to do a minor surgical procedure because one of the screws for some reason has come loose which explains the pain. Your tissue has gotten caught on it giving you the pain."

I nod, "So how will the procedure happen?"

"We will put you under, make an incision about two inches long which will give us access to the screw and the rest. I want to be sure the rest are good so we don't have go through this again. You will be able to go home at the end of the day."

I was so relieved that that's all its going to be.

"We will schedule you to have this done in a few weeks."

I get up and shake his hand. "Thank you so much Dr. Tarver, I honestly thought it was going to be worse."

"Not at all."

I walk out of his office with a little skip to my step. I couldn't be happier that it was nothing serious even though I have to get a small surgical procedure done.
