Joe shook his head, kneeling down by the horses back feet softly and inspecting the gash closely. "I have no idea...one minute we were tearin' across the land an' the next he's rearin' up in pain..."

Joe hurried back to the barn, grabbing some of the horse equipment they had for treating such things and going into Splinter's stall, seeing he was laying down where he had left him. "Good boy...we'll get you fixed up right quick..."

Bo grabbed as tray too and went to get some food and a drink of water, choosing sandwiches as he knew he wouldn't be able to eat a meal one handed.

Bo nodded and headed off down to the cafeteria with Jesse.

Joe looked back, nodding a little. "I might...this stuff stings like crazy.."

Bo shook his head again but stood up. "No but I could do with somethin' to eat...you wanna come?"

Joe shook his head, finally getting one of the jars of shine and heading back out again. "Splinter's got a huge gash on his leg..."

Bo shook his head "Nah I'll be alright...I can't sleep in these chairs anyhow."

Joe put Splinter in his stall and encouraged him to lay down, petting his neck gently before jogging inside, not noticing Lorraine sitting at the table as he hunted down some shine.

Bo nodded again, resting his good hand behind his head and yawning lightly.

Bo laughed, nodding. "Yeah..."

Bo grinned a little in silence thinking of all the times they had done that...well not him really...he hated doctors and didn't want any of them coming near him when he didn't need it. Playing the sick card was more Luke's forte than his...his was just to play hooky from school when he wanted to.

Bo laughed, nodding. "You got that right...maybe he won't complain so much about havin' to be here now..."

Bo nodded, settling back in his chair. "He'll be fine..."

The nurse smiled and watched as he fell quickly into a deep sleep, holding the mask there for as long as the anethatist said to before wheeling him off to the operating theatre.

The doctor nodded "Alright then...let's get this over and done with shall we so you can get outta here that much quicker." She smiled and took the mask from the anethatist, gently but firmly holding it over Luke's mouth and nose* "Alright...start breathing deep and then I want you to count to 5 for me, slowly..."

Jerimiah stepped forward and gently kissed her cheek. "Well if it ain't little Lorraine Davenport...well I ain't seen you in an age, certainly didn't recognise ya when ya showed up with Hank there..."

The doctor looked over at the anethetist who nodded a little before looking back to Luke. "Well basically, we're gonna put what is similar to an oxygen mask over your nose and mouth...i'll ask you to breathe in nice and deep and count to 5 for me...next thing you know you'll be wakin' up with yer family around ya..."

The doctor laughed a little, shaking her head. "Oh no, no husband as of yet. My carrer keeps me pretty busy..."

Bo chuckled and patted his shoulder before leaving the room as Uncle Jesse hugged Luke gently, whispering some words of reassurance to him before slipping out to the waiting room with Bo. The doctor smiled and settled down on the bed beside Luke as the anethitist prepared his equipment. "Well we managed to isolate the problem and what you were allergic to...so we've come up with a new solution that does exactly the same but will have a normal effect on you with little side effects."

For a while, the three occupants of the room just chatted softly amoungst each other before his female doctor and the anethitist returned. The doctor smiled and left the door open. "Right, we've got to get you prepped for surgery so....i'm gonna have to ask anyone who's not a patient to leave..." Bo nodded as did Jesse, squeezing Luke's hands and whispering with a wink. "I don't think I gotta worry about what uh...capable hands your in huh..."

Jerimiah was in the kitchen of the farm with his wife, getting lunch all prepaired as they usually did when he saw Hank and Fly ride up, carrying a pretty young girl with him. He shook his head with a smile and looked to his wife. "Better set an extra place...Hank's caught another one..."

Bo smiled gently. "No problem..."

Bo sighed and nodded. "I'll be right here when you get out..."

Bo sighed and gently squeezed Luke's shoulder. "C'mon brother...it could be worse..."
