Out alone
Jc has a head ache now after the the swallowing collar and has to lay down for the rest of the night. I venture off to get something to eat down the road it is 6:00 and JC is worried that it is going to be dark soon. Where I am going he can watch from our room the whole way. So as I make my way down the road I am looking up and waving every so often, knowing this will ease his mind. I can’t see him, it is so far up, but I know that he must have his eyes glued to me. I hurry back and carry our food bag in my left hand ready with my right if someone wants to try something. It is soooooooo crowded but because there are no other blonds here he can spot me a mile away. I know that he must be going crazy because I am taking so long because I stop and talk to some of our friends who are going out for a walk and say goodbye to a friend who is waiting to go to the airport. ” I have to get back ” I say, ” JC is going to call the police soon ( even though we do not know how to do this or even say police or help for that matter) if I am any longer. So I am rushing from the 1st floor up to the 14th, taking the stairs, thinking he is probably on his way down in an elevator to go out to look for me. I make it to our room sweat pouring off, food in hand and I say ” I’m back”. He says “I forgot all about you”. I notice the curtains are closed, I ask ” did you even watch me waving up here”. Oh I thought that I couldn’t see you from up here. So much for the love birds I saw swirling around him the other day I quess they have disapppeared with all the other birds around here.
JC had a good sleep and feels a little better and does physio and accupuncture, but no swallowing collar he doesn’t want to take a chance.
We make plans to go out with a bunch of our friends from the hospital to a Japanese restaurant. We take a taxi with some new friends from Scotland it’s their 1st ride. We tell them to fasten their seatbelts and hang on. We dodge buses, people, squeeze in between other cars scraping the sides I am sure, we have no idea how we have made it in one piece with no accidents and no people on the hood of our taxi. We get out and are very relieved, the new people can’t believe what just happened and that they have to do it again in about another hour to go back.
We get to the restaurant and there is about 17 of us all around a big grill with our own chefs cooking in front of us like in the movies. It is very nice but when we look at the menu we know it’s going to be another hungry night. Well we order but I guess the way it works is everyone gets a little of everything. We aren’t going to get to eat anyway because JC is feeling very sick to his stomach and has a cold sweat. I ask for our bill and say goodbye to the gang and head back. The nurse takes his temperature, it’s normal which is good news because fever kills stem cells. He is sleeping now and I hope and pray he feels better tomorrow. It is alot of weight on my shoulders because if anythings happens it was all my idea, but I know in my heart that this is where we are supposed to be and his body is getting better.
