"Dad, are you sure your going to be alright? I really don't have to go to this school, I can go in six months."
"Honey, you get your butt going and go take your course. I will be alright, and besides, Laura said she would be over here and she is a practical nurse. Now pack your bag and get going."
"OK dad, but I really..."
"Julie, get out of here, your worse than your mother. I just had a small operation on my ankle, I have a wheel chair and crutches. I will be OK. In about 4 weeks I will be up and jogging again. Now scoot honey."
Just then Laura walked into my room. "Well sounds like my new patient is getting cranky, Julie. Maybe I ought to give him a shot in the rear to calm him down." Julie and Laura were room mates, and best friends since grade school. In addition they were two very lovely young ladies.
My daughter Julie was in investments and Laura a practical nurse. Julie's mother had died when she was in grade school and Laura's dad had turned out a drunk and Laura never really knew him. In addition her mother was not to much better, but in spite of all, Laura had turned out all right and was really like another daughter to me.
Laura saw Julie to the door and then came back in my room. With a grin on her face, she said, "OK now lets get one thing strait. I am in charge here and you are the patient. What I say goes and we will do everything the way I want. OK? I have brought some things from the hospital so let me get those and we will get started." Out the door she went and then came back with a large bowl and some towels and wash cloths.
"Now what do you have on under the sheet, just your pajama bottoms?" I nodded yes. "Now take them off and put this towel over you while I fill up the bath bowl. Its clean up time." With that she yanked the sheet off of me. She checked the wrapping on my ankle and murmured that every thing looked ok. "Probably tomorrow we should change that wrapping."
I worked my pajama bottoms off and covered myself with the towel. Laura had on a mini skirt and a v-neck blouse. I would have to concentrate on something other than what was going on since she looked so spicy.
Back she came with the warm water. "Now move over some so I can get up there too." This was a double bed and I shifted over. Up she came and was sitting on her heels. The only problem was there was a lot more leg showing now.
She wet the wash cloth, applied soap and began on my face and then my back and chest. She rinsed me off and then dried me with a towel. "There Daddy O, does that feel good. Umm, you even smell better too." she laughed.
