The last few days have been very fast for me mainly having doctors asking me the same questions multiple times, doing the same examines on me seeing if anything has changed or explain explain my memory loss so far nothing but physically there has been some progress. Ever since I woke up my body has begun to heal at a faster rate than while I was in a coma, my neck has healed to the point I can move my head around a little but speaking hurts so I just write down whenever I need to communicate with someone.

My doctor by the name of Dr. Edward Andrews's middle aged man mid 40s black hair with some white starting to appear over the black, he has been assigned to be my doctor after I was brought in. The hospital had a similar patient like me who lost their memories in a accident and Dr. Andrews was able to handle the patient and be able to help them the best he possible could.

Dr. Andrews study both phycology and is still a physician so he is in between both departments, the hospital employee's say he's experience is something they don't take for granted it would be a mad house without him ,Besides being a wonderful doctor he's bed side manner is wonderful he speaks to he's patient like he's know them the longest, he cares for each one no matter what race or gender ,he's not afraid to be brutally honest than lie to you but doesn't come off as a asshole about it. With a English accent I somehow understand him perfectly unlike a few people around here my guess is probably tourist so I guess I could be part British as well, today where doing the usual test asking me questions about myself like favorite color, what's my last memories ,any siblings etc. As usual my responses are green, something with water that's the last I remember, not sure if I do have any siblings but would be nice to have an older sister or two.

After the first two days of the same thing he decided to do a game called 20 questions which I actually do enjoy playing especially with Dr. Andrews and Lucy, usually when it's time for Andrews to leave Lucy comes in and continues over for him which I'm thankful for. Lucy tells me I may be able to get out of bed soon but I'll have to take only a few steps at a time until I can build back up my muscle and strength, at this point I'll take anything if it means getting out of this bed and moving around.

For my main nurse thankfully is still Lucy, getting a chance between her check ups on me we started talking. Well more of her talking with me still being unable to talk and not have anything really to add to the conversation. She told me about herself for example her favorite kind of whisky is Irish whisky, her favorite food is Italian which is funny considering she's part British, Irish and Scottish. She also have 2 younger sisters named Maura and Ashley but they prefer Mary and Aqua, Mary is currently a trained paramedic with the local fire department instead of working in a hospital she prefers the field work instead. Lucy was surprised by that when she first found out but she saw Mary in action when she was responding to a house fire by there apartment she couldn't believe it. Her baby sister looked completely in her element going from person to person, making sure everyone was ok while trying to keep people as calm as possible. She realized she couldn't hold her back even if she tried instead Lucy not only encouraged her but asked Mary if she could train her with a few things.

For Aqua she tried the medical field for a while but realized it wasn't for her, instead she went a different direction or her own path that separate's her from her other two sisters. A few years in overseas in a collage she came back but she brought has her own team of marine biologist that go out in the ocean doing studies on all different kind of sea life, wanting to study the ocean more and the sea life she still does help but instead of people she study's and helps sea life. Both Lucy and Mary supported her decision in wanting to do her own thing, plus it aqua wouldn't be putting herself into any kind of danger something all three of them agreed was a good thing. Aqua from what Lucy told me does have a "wild" side some people calling her a pirate or something while out at sea. Lucy has been here for me whenever she gets the chance to being an emotional support for me while I'm going therapy or getting me some good books to read which I quickly started to love to. I'm not sure if I have other friends but I can say she's by far the best friend anybody could wish for, I'm actually surprised she is still single I asked her that during our last game of 20 questions.

She she hasn't met the right person yet which does make me happy but I hope she can find that special person one day no matter who it may be as long as she's happy. Today thankfully is a slower today so she's able to stay longer than usual our game continues until she asks me a question that has me surprised it takes me a few minutes to actually write down my response. Hey brit I know this may sound strange but well what are your plans for after you get out of here considering we can't locate any of your family or anyone who has reported you missing?

I defiantly wasn't suspecting that kind of question but honestly I haven't really given it much thought considering I've been trying to remember some kind of my memory's plus its not like I'm leaving anytime soon I can barely even get out of bed at times. Quickly writing down I'm not exactly sure why do you ask? Well you're going to need a place to stay until your back on your own two feet and I have my apartment that's not far from here, if you want maybe you could stay with me for a while plus you don't really know anyone or the area, to me it makes sense but I'm not pressuring you just giving you a option. If it wasn't for my mom I would never have been able to be reunited with my sisters and I would've been stuck in a homeless shelter, something I've heard negative comments from people here at the hospital. I don't want you to go through that especially when you don't know anyone there. Now I understand her question but still she's making it seem like ill be discharged or something soon, tapping her with my pencil I ask 'do you think ill be leaving here soon or something?'

Well the doctor told me not to tell you this but your healing at such a faster pace especially with someone who was in a coma and had such devastating injuries. Honestly at the pace your at would take an average person 6 maybe 7 months to get to, the hospital administrators are trying to get you discharged soon not that they want you gone. This hospital is one of the busiest one in Ireland so you can image how packed we can get, so they wanna try to rotate patients the ones who can go home go. The ones like you for example you couldn't move in your condition but your making fast headway into your recovery soo I think you can tell where I'm coming at. Leaving the hospital besides regaining my lost memories that's my next step the quicker I leave I can start looking for my family or anyone who may know me. Staying in the hospital for all this time and not knowing where I'm at my family if have any must think I'm dead at this point. Who knows when or how long I left home there hasn't been any leads about what happened the police I think just called off the investigation honestly, not like I care the "officers" or 'muc' as a I like to call them sent one of there officers to talk to me. He didn't even try to hide he's boredom quickly wanting to get done with me so he could flirt with one of the female staff.

Don't worry to much for now under state law they cant release you until your fully ready in which in your case your still having trouble walking and cant speak. I just wanted to give you a heads up so you wouldn't be caught surprised, my offer to let you stay at my house it can your backup plan or something you always wanna be ready for the unexpected. I cant help the smile on my face Lucy didn't have to tell me this but she did and I honestly don't know how ill ever be able to thank her for everything she's done ,offering me a place to stay until I get myself together honestly is such a Lucy thing. Glancing at the clock unfortunately its time for Lucy to go even though I'm one of her last patients she still has a few other things to take care of. Lucy gives me a pat on my shoulder as she gets up she knows I get lonely when I'm by myself, ill see you first thing tomorrow before I clock in. Ill bring you a few more books that ill think you would like and we can continue our game how does that sound?

Giving her a thumbs up I wait until she leaves before I let my disappointment show it does get lonely here even with my books to read even that gets boring after a while. With a sigh I lay back down getting comfy not much else I can do stuck here in this bed, well instead of just moping maybe I should take Lucy's advice. Eventually I will be discharged from here and I don't wanna be unprepared Lucy's offer is nice but I don't wanna impose on her, plus we only really started "talking" for a few weeks but I cant help but get this feeling of Deja vu something familiar when I think about her. Maybe we may have met at one point or another and she may have forgotten working all the time like she does its a possibility. Well enough moping I can do that later after I come up with a plan grabbing my notepad I start writing on what I could do.

Lucy's POV:

I hate leaving her like that all by herself laying there with only a few books and a tv its all very lonely. I really wish I could stay longer but with Dr. Andrew's getting ready to go on he's vacation in a few weeks everything needs to be running smoothly, with a sigh I head down to the nurses station the quicker I can get everything sorted out I can get changed and go home. Home to an empty apartment with aqua always on her "adventures" and Mary being transferred a few towns over I'm left with the apartment now, mom stops by when she has off but even still doesn't replace the loneliness I feel. Maybe I should get a cat or something? That's something me and brit have in common we are both lonely her laying there me and my empty apartment I hope she actually considers my idea, keeps her from going into a shelter and keep her from getting hurt. But still I may see her as a friend she may not and may decide to go another route. Whatever she decides ill support her cause that's what she needs honest support and care. With a last glance at her door I turn the corner and proceed to walk down the hall my heart heavy with loneliness.
