Charlene and Jeannie walked into my room. Jeannie held the clipboard clutched to her chest. Her knuckles were still white, but the color was returning to her face.
"Alright, it's time for us to change your bed linens, Josh." Charlene said.
When she said my name, Jeannie gave her a look. Yet another reminder of how long I had been in my coma, I reflected, that all of these women thought of me as 'Joshua.'
"Mind if I sit on that couch while you do this?" I asked. "I promise not to try to run away or anything."
"Sure. We'll just wait for Heather to finish up." Charlene was cool as the proverbial cucumber; I would have no clue from her body language that she had been sucking my fat cock just hours before. On the other hand, Jeannie seemed nervous and fidgety around me. While we were waiting for Heather, Charlene was filling in most of the details of my case for her.
"Josh came out of his coma at 7:18 yesterday evening, while I was finishing his sponge bath. Doctor Hinton was the attending physician, and supervised the move. Josh's parents were notified immediately, of course, and they were able to visit with him for two hours last night. They will probably be back as soon as visiting hours allow it."
"At 10:25 Josh had a cardiac incident. We were able to stabilize him immediately. After that, he was able to sleep with regular sinus rhythm for 3 hours and twenty minutes. He has had ten-point-three ounces of water, and has urinated twice since he came out of his coma. He has not yet had a B.M."
I was able to keep my expression blank as Charlene rattled all this off, but of course my mind immediately went to the parts she left out: I had actually come out of the coma to Charlene sucking my cock; the "cardiac incident" was triggered when Sarah mounted me and started riding. This also left out two fantastic blowjobs from Heather and Sarah.
I was watching Jeannie closely this whole time, while she seemed reluctant to make eye contact. She had seemed to flush slightly when Charlene had said "sponge bath," and again when she mentioned me urinating. It was really subtle, and I wouldn't have noticed if I hadn't been looking at her so intently.
Heather soon joined us, and she and Charlene moved me to the couch with Jeannie as "spotter." My legs were still useless, but once my butt hit the cool couch (I couldn't tell, really, if it was leather or vinyl, but it was definitely not a warm surface.) I was able to recline comfortably and was not in danger of falling on my face.
The three nurses changed my bed linens in just a couple of minutes, and I realized that all three had fantastically toned buttocks and thighs. That makes sense, of course. Throughout the night shift, I had only seen Charlene and Heather sitting for a few minutes at a time. All that constant walking, lifting, and standing would keep those muscles in great shape.
Once the bed was made, I was dragged back over and set up in an upright seated position. I realized that I had been staring at Charlene's cleavage and not listening. Evidently they had been making small talk about Jeannie and her husband, Steve. I was caught completely off guard when Heather leaned me forward, untied my hospital gown, and just pulled it right off me. All three women sighed when my semi-hard cock was exposed, and they all tried hard to contain giggles as I flushed red and tried to cover myself with my hands.
"You could warn a guy before you just expose him like that!" I burst out. I was embarrassed, but at the same time I could feel my cock throbbing under my hands. I was surprised that this could turn me on. Am I some kind of exhibitionist?
Heather had the control for my bed in her hand, and was lowering me back to a supine position. "You might just want to cover your eyes, then, Josh. We need to give you your sponge bath now."
Jeannie brought me a towel from my left and said, "Here," as she covered my eyes for me. The reclining bed eventually made it impossible for me to shield myself from their view, so I sighed and covered my face with my forearms. I heard them talking, but couldn't make out what was said. I could feel their hands moving over my body as they scrubbed me with their minty-smelling sponges. At first, the cool cleaning compound helped my erection subside, but as someone's hands approached my groin I was once again throbbing and hard. I was spared further embarrassment when they turned me over and scrubbed my backside. At last they were finished. I was dressed in a fresh gown and covered with a fresh sheet.
For the next hour, I was pretty much ignored. The nurses had many tasks to perform before the rest of the hospital staff arrived. My attention wavered between watching Sports Center on the television and watching hot nurses' breasts and bottoms bobbing by as they worked. I was mercifully soft when my parents arrived.
Once again, I was struck at just how fit my dad looked. Before I got sick, he had been "rocking the dad bod," as he put it. He wasn't morbidly obese, but there was a noticeable gut. The snug polo shirt he was wearing today made it clear that gut was gone. My mom had always stayed in shape, so she didn't look different. My dad was only able to hang around for an hour before he had to leave for work.
My mom sat by my bed and talked to me for quite a while. I was brought "breakfast" - just some toast and juice - which I was careful not to wolf down. My real breakfast was in the form of a fresh IV. At some point, Doctor Hinton arrived. This morning he was being followed by several nervous-looking interns. They went into the ward I had occupied during my coma, and finally made their way to my room. This routine visit would turn out to be very informative for me.
"How are you feeling this morning, Joshua?" Doctor Hinton asked, "I understand you had an incident last night?"
My mom looked alarmed at that. Neither I nor the nurses had mentioned it.
"I feel better." I replied. I saw he was looking at the sheet of paper coming from my heart monitor.
"I see you had another period of elevated heart rate early this morning," he noted.
"Oh, right." I thought quickly. "I was trying to do some leg-lifts in bed just to see how weak they are."
He nodded. "Right. Not dangerous heart rate, but that makes sense. How many were you able to do?"
"Twelve."
"Good. You'll be starting physical therapy today, as well as occupational therapy after lunch." He then turned to his flock of interns and began quizzing them about my upcoming therapy. I turned to my mom and squeezed her hand to reassure her. I found her looking at my face and wondered if she was also realizing just how much I now looked like my dad.
My attention snapped back to Doctor Hinton when he was discussing my "abnormal EEG log" from early in my treatment and subsequent coma. Evidently, my brain activity had been just this side of a grand mal seizure, and it had stayed there for days at a time when my brain was swollen with fluid. Scans of my brain activity showed insane elevation of my hypothalamus and pituitary glands. The excess cerebrospinal fluid that had been shunted from my spinal column showed highly elevated levels of testosterone, HGH, and a dozen other hormones and natural steroids.
I asked to see this stuff, and was allowed to read it all. This explained my growth spurt. It also explained how a short, skinny kid like me could wind up with a giant dick. In addition to the normal nutrients, my IVs had contained substantially elevated levels of vitamins. The hyperactive brain activity caused by the swelling had led to hyperactive glandular response. This coupled with improved nutritional supplements and a "normal" growth spurt to lead to over a foot of height.
When the doctors had left, my mom asked if I was alright.
"That explains everything." I responded. "Did you know I'm six foot three now?"
"Really? I didn't know that. You've always been in a bed. I mean, I know you had grown, but ..."
My mom then had me scoot over so that she could sit up on my bed. It was awkward, of course, but very comforting to have my mom snuggled up with her arms wrapped around me. We lay there together for a good half hour until my physical therapist arrived.
Dennis, my physical therapist, was a very odd guy. He had obviously had his hair colored, and the bright blood red of his hair did not at all match the light brown of his tightly-cropped beard and moustache. He was short, maybe five-four or so, but very broad across his shoulders and chest. His arms and legs were heavily muscled. His voice was a good octave higher than I was expecting, sounding almost cartoonish coming out of his broad frame.
Dennis had made the rounds of the coma ward before coming into my room. He extended a hand and introduced himself - something none of my other caregivers had done.
The first couple days of physical therapy were almost tedious. I was given a racquetball to squeeze to help strengthen my arms, I did leg-lifts several times a day, and I began lifting my head off of my pillow as many times as I could to build up the muscles in my neck. None of this seemed like much, but I was shocked at how quickly these three simple things made a noticeable difference.
My occupational therapist was an older woman named Theresa. I only saw her once a week for three weeks at the hospital, so I barely remember her now. It's not that she wasn't helpful, just that I barely saw her.
