Linda came to check on Jess the next day. She was awake now, and looking a lot better. Linda checked all Jess's vital signs. She could go home in a few days.
"How are you feeling?" Linda asked her.
"A lot better now." Jess replied, smiling. "Did anyone else get hurt?"
"No, only you and Sam." Linda said. "You being the worst hurt..."
"Is Sam awake yet?"
"Yeah, she woke up last night. Didnt anyone tell you?"
"No..." Jess said.
"Well she is awake. You can see her later after we get you back on your feet. Your mums shift starts in a while so we can start then with her here."
"That would be great." Jess said.

Later on when Zoe arrived, Linda and her went to Jess's cubicle.
"Ready to go and see Sam?" Linda said.
"Yeah!" Jess said, excited.
"Okay. We are going to help you sit up, and I wan you o swing your legs over the side of the bed."
"Sure." Jess said, and Linda took one arm while Zoe took the other.
"Swing." Linda instructed, and Jess did it. She winced though, as it hurt her stomach muscles.
"You alright?" Zoe asked.
"Yeah, just hurt a little."
"Okay."
"Now, can you scooch forward to the edge, and put your feet on the floor. Me and Zoe will lift your arms and pull you up, and then we can see if you can stand." Linda explained.
"Lets go!" Jess said, and used her arms to push her forwards onto the edge.
"We are going to pull you up now, ready?" Zoe asked, as Jess's feet touched the floor.
"Yep." She said, and Zoe and Linda hoisted her up. Jess winced as they held her upright.
"We are going to gently let go now alright?" Linda told her. Jess nodded.

They slowly eased their grip on Jess's arms, and she stood on her own, even though pain was rippling through her abdomen.
"It hurts." Jess told them.
"It will for a while, until it heals a bit." Zoe explained. "Try moving your feet."

Jess did as she was told, but she nearly lost her balance. She had to be steadied by Linda.
"Try again." Linda told her, and slowly, they made their way to the door. Jess was already tired from the little journey. "Do you think you can get to Sams room?"
"I want to try." Jess said.

They arrived at Sams room, and Jess was exausted.
"Sit down on the chair, yeah?" Zoe told her daughter.
"Yes mum." Jess said, and slowly walked through the room, followed by Linda and Zoe.

"Hey Jess." Sam said. "How are you?"
"Im fine now." Jess replied. "How are you?"
"Im perfectly fine! Its just great that you are okay." Sam replied. "I heard you had surgery."
"Yeah I did. I had to have it to fix my stomach... internal bleeding." Jess said.
"And you are out of bed already?" Sam said, surprised.
"Yeah! I wanted to come and see you!" She said.
"Aww, sweet." Sam said. "Im fine, really."
"I thought you had a concussion."
"I do, but its alright when im laying down." Sam explained.
"Oh." Jess said, and wiped her eyes.
"Tired?" Sam asked.
"Yeah, a little." Jess said.
"That walk must have tired you out, huh." Sam said.
"To be honest I didn't think she would get this far yet. She's in the other ward!" Linda said.
"Really?" Sam said, even more surprised.
"Yeah. I wanted to see if you were okay."
"Well, im fine, so I want you to get back to bed, okay?"
"Sure." Jess said, yawning.
"Ill see you soon." Sam said.
"So will I." Jess said, smiling.

Linda and Zoe helped Jess upright, and she stood. Linda noticed her legs were shaking a little.
"You alright?" Linda asked, concerned.
"Yeah, just a bit tired." Jess said.
"Zoe, get her other arm just in case." Linda said. "I dont think her legs will take her for much longer."
"Im fine, really." Jess tried to say, but Zoe and Linda still held their grips. She sighed.

After walking a few more steps, her legs were increasingly getting tired. After another few steps, she was glad her mother and Linda were holding her, as her knees buckled. They lifted her back up.
"Jess?" Zoe asked.
"Im fine, my legs were tired." She said.
"Can you walk back?" Linda asked.
"I don't think so." Jess said, sighing.
"Okay, then just help us get you over here." Linda said, as there was a wheel chair there.
"Okay." Jess said, happily sitting down.

Back in her room, Zoe and Linda helped her get back into her bed.
"Now rest, and we can try again tomorrow." Zoe said.
"Im not tired! Its just my legs." Jess said.
"Well, I can get Lenny to entertain you, as we aren't really busy at the minute." Linda told her.
"Yeah please!" Jess said, looking forward to an afternoon with Lenny.

Lenny came in a few minutes later.
"Well what shall we do?" He said. "We can play cards, checkers..."
"Can we play cards?" Jess asked.
"Yes, what game?"
"Um... pontoon?" She suggested.
"Sure." Lenny said.
"Yay." Jess smiled.

"Did you hear about the magic tractor?" Jess asked Lenny.
"What are you talking about?" He asked, chuckling.
"Did you hear about the magic tractor!" She said again.
"No..." Lenny said, confused but amused.
"It went down the road and turned into a field." Jess said.
"I get it." Lenny said, laughing.
"Do you know what the fastest cake in a bakery is?"
"No.."
"Scone." Jess said.
"Okay, I dont get this one." Lenny said, thinking hard about it.
"Scone... its gone...itscone..." Jess said.
"Oh, very clever." He said. "What about the guy who worked in a tiddlywinks factory?"
"Um..." Jess thought. "No idea."
"He found the job very counter productive."
"HAHA I get it!" Jess said, laughing hard.

Lenny heard a beeping coming from his pocket after about an hour.
"Oh, thats my pager..." He said. "I need to go, but I will be back after!"
"Okay." Jess said, after enjoying her day.
