I woke Thursday morning to Sofia in my bed staring at me.
"Hey baby girl, did you sleep well." I ask her as I stretch my whole body.
"Yeah I guess. When can I see mama today? Can we call her, I want to say good morning." Sofia asks.
"First question, you can see her after you get out of school. Grandpa is picking you up and taking you to mama's house. Second question, yes you can call her to say good morning but you need to make it quick ok, we need to get you dressed and fed before school." I tell her as I reach for my phone to call Arizona. Once I hear it ringing I give the phone to Sofia and get up to head to the bathroom.
"Hi mama, did you sleep well?" Sofia asks her repeating what I just asked her and I can't help but smile.
"Yes, I slept good but I missed you. Mommy says I get to see you after school."
"Uh huh, uh huh"
"Ok , love you too. See you later."
I can only hear Sof's side of the conversation so it's kind of comical trying to figure out what they are talking about.
"Mommy, I'm done."
"Is mama still on the phone?" I ask her.
"No she hung up."
"Oh, ok." I'm a little disappointed Arizona didn't ask to talk to me but I guess I will see her later this morning in her therapy session.
I drop Sofia off at school and head to the hospital. I have a light day today so I am hoping to get down to PT for Arizona's session if no emergencies come in. The morning flies by and it's time for me to head down to PT. I make a quick pit stop in the ladies room to freshen up my makeup.
When I open the door, I find an empty room. I check my watch and see I'm right on time so I decide to just sit and wait a few minutes. Maybe traffic was bad and she got held up. After about 5 minutes David walks in.
"Hey Callie, what brings you down here?" He asks me.
"I was going to watch Arizona's session...see if there was anything else I needed to adjust for her." I tell him.
"Well you're about an hour to late." He tells me.
"What do you mean, it was suppose to be at 11." I say.
"It was but she called first thing this morning and asked if she could come earlier so she was here around 9 we finished up about 30 minutes ago." He tells me.
"Oh, I wish I had known I would have come down." I say.
"Sorry, I never thought to even call you.I thought we were all set with your instructions." He says.
"Umm, ... yeah we are... I just umm...I just"
"It's ok Callie I get it." He says.
"Did she say why she wanted to change it." I ask him.
"Not really. She just said she had stuff to do and wanted to get this out of the way."
To say I'm disappointed would be in understatement...not only did I miss seeing her today but she doesn't seem to care whether I was there or not. I thank him and head back to the lab. When I get there I notice the lights are on and I swore I shut them off when I left. I open the door and am totally surprised to what I see. Arizona is there setting up lunch for us.
"Hey, what's all this?" I ask smiling like a fool.
"Hi,...um I just wanted to thank you for everything you've done for me these past few weeks so I brought lunch I hope that's ok." She says smiling at me.
"You didn't have to do that...but I'm glad you did I'm starving." I say laughing.
"Good, now take a load off and pull up a stool." She tells me as she hands me a plate.
"So I went down to therapy and David said you went in early, how did it go." I ask.
"Good, really good. I can't do as much as I wanted to because of the stitches but I can already feel the difference. I just need to get my stitches out so I can start on the treadmill." Arizona says.
"Arizona is not just the stitches, you need to let your body recover you just had major surgery." I tell her.
"Hey don't rain on my parade ok, I won't be running a marathon or anything I just want to go a little faster than the snails pace I'm currently doing." She says.
"Ok but next time I want to be there." I say.
"You don't have to, I know you're busy and David knows what he's doing." She says to me.
" I know he knows what he's doing but I would feel better being there, so please just humor me and call me next time you change the times, ok." I tell her.
"Ok, well next session should be Monday after I get my stitches out." She says.
"Thank you, I will be sure to be there." I tell her.
"So when I talked to Sofia this morning she seemed ok, how was she after I left last night." Arizona asks me.
"She never woke up, but this morning I woke to her in my bed with her face like 2 inches from mine and her wanting to call you." I tell her.
"Oh, sorry about that I told her to call me first thing in the morning." Arizona tells me.
"It's ok, I didn't mind, I wanted to say good morning too but you hung up before I got the chance." I tell her.
"Sorry, I didn't know." She says. "Well I better get going, dad should be out front waiting for me and we need to go get the little miss. I'll have her call you before bedtime to say goodnight."
"Thanks, and thanks for lunch."
"Your welcome, I'll talk to you later." She says as she heads out and I can't help but feel the loss.
