The Come Back Again

The Come Back Again
Drop



***


Doctors kept coming and opened my eyelids while moving the motion of a flashlight that was so blinding. With roughness and haste, as if not consider the patient's eyelids should also be treated gently.


Mama and papa panicked again, not only the two of them, but also now joined papa and mama


One of the female nurses was standing next to my bed. He studied my file and spoke to one of the other nurses.


The nurse looked tired. It was as if he wanted to curl up and lie down on one of the empty beds. I'm not the only patient they're treating, maybe dozens of patients and I'm among them. He wanders from one patient to another and one family to another throughout the day.


After reading my file and talking to the nurses, she returned to my family, who had stopped talking and replaced it with her own sobs. I also saw the snoring crying sniffles at my current condition. I'm confused, does he really like me? but if not why is he so afraid of losing me?


Now the nurse let my family in including the pride to see me. The nurse stepped back into the room.


" Alessia is still unconscious but her vital signs are starting to improve" she told relatives as she gathered in my room.


" it's good news, right ?" ask my papa


The nurse simply gave a trained sympathetic nod. "if she breathes on her own, meaning it's a remarkable advance sign her lungs are starting to stabilize and normalize again , because now the bruising in his brain makes it hard to breathe".


" we can't be sure when he'll wake up, but we'll also keep an eye on him "


Now they look at me with a face so pale, the fear of losing me as soon as I feel. I glanced at the still loyal pride standing near my parents, he kept looking at me with his tears occasionally. Makes me not bear to see it, "what's wrong with me? I think I've gone crazy because of the bug!" I quickly turned my face away from her


The clock has now run out, but they seem unwilling to leave before me. Moreover, the mother who had continued to cry, papa now calms the mother and invites her out to rest


In the ICU, time stops as usual. One of the surgeons who handled me this afternoon was sweating a lot and he quickly played music, turned on the freezer and checked me out.


The lights are dimly lit and artificially felt and kept to the same level at all times, but nuanced music like back in the 90s was unable to fight the silence at night that enveloped the place. The atmosphere was not as busy during the day, as if the nurses and engine engines were tired and in an energy-efficient condition.


" i want to get in, why are you blocking him?" the sound of the voice of pride


I crossed the ICU, standing right on the other side of the automatic door. I heard one of the nurses explain to the host that he was not allowed into this part of the hospital.


" it's bullshit! just a moment and it won't bring disaster!" the young man shouted back


Inside the ward, all the nurses looked towards the door, their eyes looking alert.
