Part 2.
Since no one knew who she was, doctors named her Dorothy, but she did not like that name, so someone suggested Jane. She agreed to be so called, but always thought the name should sound tougher.
Toph's health was improving faster than expected by doctors, but her memory was still locked up like a ten lock. Like the secret of who she was and what she was capable of.
Every day John and Robert came to visit her. Robert appeared only in the mornings with the nurses, and John would turn in to her morning and evening, and sometimes at lunch and she supported the company. Sometimes someone was next to her, with whom she could talk. They calmed her and sometimes helped her to forget the fact that she was helpless and couldn't feel anything. That feeling visited her several times every day and scared her immensely, but John's gentle words saying that if you have a big wish and try to recover you will quickly recover, calmed her.
It has been a week and the doctors were amazed as she healed before their eyes. Her mood also improved. It could be seen from the way it she turned or called around.
After another week, Robert came with the good news.
"Today we will remove the plaster from your legs and hands. Control pictures show that they are fully healed.," he said.
"This is amazing, KAZANOVA!" exclaimed the earthbender.
Toph was calling her supervising physician that, as he came to her each time accompanied by a new nurse. He resembled someone she knew, someone dear to her, only she could not remember who.
"I can finally stand up! I'm tired of lying here!" she declared.
"Take it easy! Not so fast! Everything will come in time. I have never heard or seen anyone as quick to recover as you. There can possibly be exceptions and you, lady, really are one of them," said Robert.
"Do not be afraid if after we remove the plaster you cannot move them immediately. With time things get better," he said when removing the plaster from her legs.
Then he removed the plaster from her hands and legs. Toph tried to move her hands and feet, but nothing happened. Her enthusiasm subsided, but the doctor's statement that this it was only temporary eased her mind. He told her to try, try, and try again to move it.
Outside the ward, Robert and John met with Harry to talk in the hallway. There was no knowledge of her identity. Or at least so they thought.
"How lives our blind beauty? Maybe there is any news?" asked Harry.
"She is recovering faster than expected. I just removed the plaster. Everything seems to be fine. Knowing what she had to endure this is just a miracle," spoke Robert.
"But her memory is still empty like a white sheet," endorsed John.
"If you have any news, call me," Harry said and left.
"Today she will begin physical therapy. I think that after a couple of days, she will walk if she is continues to be so stubborn and recover so quickly."
...
A woman entered the ward.
"Hi Jane, I'm Sophie and I will help you get back on your legs!" she said.
"Nice to meet you."
"We'll start with your hands!"
With these words, Sophia's gentle hands began to stroke Toph's unmoving hands. Soon, stroking become rubbing and hand movements intensified. Then she picked up one of her hand and bent it several times over the elbow. She repeated this motion with the other hand. After several exercises, Toph began to feel and use her hands.
After the exercises ended, Toph accidentally lifted her hand and knocked Sophie to one side.
"For them being so petite, you have extremely strong hands," the doctor said with a smile.
"Oh, did I hit you? I am sorry!" Toph said with a smile. She was very pleased.
After that, Sophie repeated all the exercises done with the hands with Toph's long, graceful legs. After completing all exercises, the earthbender tried to get up, but could not stand and fell. She would have dropped to the ground, if not for a strong woman's hands catching her.
"Not so fast, Twinkle!" said Sophie with big grin.
Toph again hit Sophie to the side and said, "Don't call me that!"
Her legs were still too weak. But the sense that she felt, then her feet reached the floor, was astonishing. Only then did she realize in what large building she was. Everywhere action boiled. People walked back and forth.
'I can see' she thought.
"Hi sugar. Today is a very good day. The doctor said that everything will be fine after a couple of days and I will be able to walk normally," Toph said, massaging her leg.
"This is great news. But do you remember who you are or from where you are?"
"Aaa ... I did not think about it! Apparently I was too excited that I could see."
"You can ... see? How many fingers am I showing?"
"Two!"
"Strange," thought John, and drew from his pocket a small rubber ball.
"Catch!" John spoke and threw it to Toph. But Toph did not catch it. The ball hit her in the chest.
"Hey!" shouted the Blind Bandit. "Why was that for?"
"You have to catch it!" John said.
Then Toph shook her hand before her eyes, and said: "I am blind! I cannot see the flying object!"
"But didn't you say that you can see?"
"I do not know how, but it has something to do with my feet," she said.
With these words the young doctor noticed that his friend was sitting with one leg lowered to the ground. She rubbed the other with her hands.
"Echolocation" he thought. The young doctor had heard of this phenomenon, and the fact that blind people could learn this skill to compensate for their disabilities, but he had never seen it.
"Maybe you can tell me where I stand?" he asked.
"You're standing in front of my bed."
"And now?"
"Now, you are standing in front of the door, but don't stand there, because the woman is coming and she's bringing something."
As soon as John walked away from the door, a woman came through them like a tank and shouted, "DINNER!"
"Hey, hold your horses! Want to deafen me or what?" Toph shot back.
"The same, just more politely," said John. The woman looked round and saw the doctor standing quite near to her.
"Sorry, I didn't see you. Old habits die hard." She put the plate on table and went out.

This is the story of Toph and what has happened to her. I wrote it as single chapter, but later i decided that i should split it into two.
