The woman maneuvered through the crowd with the tray and pulled her bedside table over the bed, while the other nurse worked on getting her sitting up, making sure to go slowly.
“Here you go.We have here some yummy scrambled eggs, toast, applesauce, and there is orange juice in this cup.Call if you need anything, sweetie.”She waved at everybody as she left.
Keira held her breath through the discomfort of sitting up.She picked up her fork and moved the eggs around on her plate.Daniel and Dr.Paulson laughed at the look of disgust on her face.
“I don’t blame you, dear.But you have to eat something so you can get stronger.”
Keira nodded without taking her gaze off the tray.She reached for a piece of toast and took a little bite.It wasn’t horrible, but how can you mess up toast unless you burn it?
Dr.Paulson handed the chart to the nurse.“I’ll be back this afternoon.If there are any problems, press the ‘call’ button.”
“Thank you, Doctor Paulson.”
Chapter Thirty-Three
After breakfast, Danieland Layla got Keira up and walked her down the same hallway and back.Keira was pleased she wasn’t as tired as she had been the day before and wanted to keep going.
“Keira, remember the doctor didn’t want you exhausted.This afternoon we’ll go a little farther.”
Keira growled in frustration.“Okay.I just hate being weak.”
“I know, and I hate that you are hurting, but it will get better.Besides, we need to talk about when you get released.”
Layla looked worriedly at Daniel over her head.
They started her toward the bed.“I want to sit in a chair.Just for a little bit.”
“Just until Logan gets back with breakfast.”
Keira nodded and settled back into the recliner Daniel had been using.
“I should get some of the sweet rolls you were talking about, right?
Layla chuckled and smoothed the blanket on top of Keira’s lap.“Absolutely.We wouldn’t think about keeping you from a sugar source.”
Keira snorted.“Look who’s talking.”
