In the next few min, Jack & the nurse entered back in the room. The nurse fiddled around with the tubes that were stuck in Anna’s arm.
“So…how bad’s the damage?” Anna asked afraid of the answer.
The nurse looked confused. “What do you mean?”
“I mean, how bad is the wound?” she said looking at her stomach.
“Oh! That’s right you’ve been sleeping a while. You’re fine honey. You’ll be out of here tomorrow.” she smiled and left the room.
Anna looked at Jack. “What does she mean I’ve been sleeping for a while?”
Jack didn’t answer her.
“Jack what day is today?”
“Wednesday.
“What? I’ve been sleeping for almost 3 days?” Anna’s voice was getting louder.
Jack sighed. “I didn’t want to scare you,”
“By telling me what?”
“They had a hard time taking the knife out. Some metal was still in your stomach when the finally did get it out, but they didn’t know it till a day later. You had to get surgery, and,” he stopped.
“And?” Anna was getting anxious.
“And they didn’t know if you would live through it.”
