Early the next morning the sun was shining brightly in Luke's bedroom and he could feel it on his face and it felt good.
Luke slowly started coming around he eyes were slowly starting to open and at first everything was a little blurry
at first he didn't know where he was or for that matter who he was Luke felt like his brain was going in circles.
" Oh... my head is killing me , where in the heck am I ?". said Luke
" Well good morning darling it's nice to see your beautiful blue eyes for a change ". said Pam
" Howdy m'am I don't really know who I am at the moment or where I am ". said Luke
" You were in a terrible car accident I don't know what your name is on account of you didn't have any ID". said Pam
Luke's nurse happend to glance at the clock in the room and noticed that it was getting time for Luke's pain medicene
so she gave Luke a shot of Morphine in his IV and then she left the room so that Luke can rest.
Meanwhile the Dukes was just now pulling into the hospital parking lot and they was so hoping Luke would be awake.
They didn't know it yet but their prayers was about to be answered unfortunately not all was well with Luke.
Uncle Jesse , Daisy , and Bo was walking into the hospital Uncle Jesse spotted Luke's doctor fixing himself a cup of coffee.
" Hey Doc how's my boy doing ?". asked Jesse
" Well Good Morning Mr. Duke I got some good news for you Luke woke up this morning ." said Doc
Bo , Daisy , Jesse couldn't help but be filled with happiness that Luke had finally woken up.
" That's great news doc what a relief ". said Bo
" Can we see him now ?". asked Bo
" After I give him a full examanation you can ". said Doc
So after the doctor got done talking to the Dukes he went to check on Luke then he'll report back to the Dukes .
Luke was still sitting on the edge of his bed trying to shake the cobwebs out of his brain when the doc came in.
" Well Luke how are you feeling this fine morning "? asked Doc
" Well my head hurts an I ain't got a clue as to who I am ". said Luke
" The headache you are feeling is probably from your concussion , it appears also that you are suffering from Amnesia."
" Now I'm gonna test your reflexes now okay ". said doc
So Luke followed the penlight and he looked up , down , left, and right the doctor noticed that Luke's eye movements were a little sluggish but he figured that was from the fact that he has a concussion and then he had him read an eye chart.
Luke was doing fine during the first few rows but then his vision started getting fuzzy and he blinked then it cleared some
but his vision was a still fuzzy and the doctor noticed that Luke was suffering some so he told Luke to stop.
So Luke's doctor went out to talk to the Dukes about LUke's condition but unfortunately it ain't all good.
Bo was the first to notice the doctor step into the room and so he walked over to him and asked him how Luke was.
" Well unfortunately I have some rather bad news for y'all ". said Doc
The Dukes prepared themselves for the doctor's bad news they all hoped it wasn't too bad .
" Sadly Luke is suffering from a case of blindness ". said Doc
" !Oh My God he ... he ... can't SEE ! Cried Daisy
Bo put his arms around Daisy and tried to calm her down and reassure her that Luke will be okay .
" Doc is this permanent or temporary ?". asked Jesse
" Unfortunately at the moment he can't see at all. Hopefully in time the swelling may go down then he'll see again".
" I will be releasing Luke to y'all today he will have to stay in bed and he can't be left alone ". said doc
" You just tell us what to do and will take good care of Luke ". said Jesse
So later on the day Luke was released from the hospital everything at the moment was dark and poor Luke was lost and confused
Bo tried his best to help Luke into the General and unfortunately since Luke can't see Bo will have to his chores,Lukes.
When the boys arrived back at the farm Luke was so tired he told Bo that he was gonna go take a nap until supper.
So as Luke drifted off to dreamland The Dukes was left to wonder will Luke ever be able to see again.
