Who: Gaheris and Open
Where: Lennox Hill Inpatient Surgery Wing
When: Around four o'clock.
Rating: TBA, but a tentative PG-13 for possible language and wound description (wounds! :D :D).
The nurse comes in to change his bandages daily. The last finger on his right hand and the middle and index finger of his left hand have been amputated just above the knuckle, and ring finger of the right hand above the second joint. The hospital would have discharged him already--the surgery is done and his core temperature is finally raised to normal--but the lack of nitrogen is keeping his wounds from healing, so they're trying to address the severe malnutrition as well.
The trouble is that Gary, to the frustration of the surgical interns and the nurses alike, keeps pulling out his IVs, and enough gets to be enough fairly quickly.
He's now kept sedated.
So he lies in the sterile white hospital bed, looking unnaturally tiny, his dark head and longish hair stark against the pillow. There are two IVs in his arm, and a drip, and every now and then someone comes in and turns him to make sure he doesn't get a pressure ulcer.
He looks out the window a lot, and he cries sometimes, and in the night he always screams, thin and hysterical, until the night nurse wakes him and sedates him further. Otherwise his condition is now fairly stable.
