The Doctor nodded back to Luke and smiled a little. "For what its worth, Beauregard is in better condition than others I've seen come in after having been in a fight with an object." Daisy looked up shocked again to the doctor. "Fight with an object! What do you mean fight with an object?!" Looking to her with a surprised expression on her face, the doctor answered. "Well these injuries weren't done from punches and kicks alone...it looks like he's been hit with something, a base ball bat or something. Nothing metal or that would have surely broken bones in his arms and legs as well, but he has been hit with something along those lines." Daisy choked a little bit as she heard the Doctor explain, if thqat was the case then Bo was in more pain than any of them had thought before. No wonder he couldn't move! "If you want to see him, he's in room 534 just down the hall, take a right and the second door on your left....I should warn you though, when he wakes up he's likely to be confused and disorientated and we have him on high levels of pain medication so he's likely to stay that way until we can decrease it." Daisy nodded as she listened, holding B.L.'s hand a little tighter in return to her tight hold, sighing a little. While Luke had an awful reaction to anestiesia, Bo seemed to have one on pain medication and from what she suspected it was morphine, meaning not only was he going to be all the things the Doctor had said before walking away, but he was also going to probably be as sick as a dog for a while as well.

"Okay....its pretty obvious he has a severe concussion and while him falling asleep was not the best of things to do, it shouldn't present any heavy problems. He has the expected bruises and scrapes that are going to make movement and sitting and laying down very painful for a few days. The main thing that concerns us though his his rib cage....basically its a complete mess...some are cracked, others chipped, others broken....he's really in a bad way. It's not life threatening...but still. its going to hurt which is why I'd like to keep him in for a while..."

The convoy of people were all forced to wait in the waiting room with no word on Bo for a good couple of hours. After that time was up and Daisy was near breaking point, wanting to march over to the desk and ask them to see if they could find Bo when the Doctor stepped towards them again/ "Ok...we've finally got Bo settled in..."

Daisy sighed and shrugged, not at all sure how she was feeling or what she was meant to be feeling. "I don't know...I think I'm meant to be relieved but...I cant stop worrying till I know Bo's gonna be alright and Luke is too.."

Daisy sighed and she too settled back against the wall to play the waiting game, knowing Luke was hurt too but also knowing that with Luke as stubborn as he liked to be, he would refused to get seen until he had seen Bo. Therefore, noticing Cooter's whispers, she didn't say anything.

Daisy too was quick to respond, keeping Bo upright as the Doctor stepped back and quickly called for a gurney, several orderlies getting Bo onto it before wheeling him hurridly away.

But Bo didn't even recognise his full name as his eyes slid closed and he fell forwards towards the floor.

Bo swallowed and tried to start telling them, getting a little way in before feeling himself slipping again, shaking his head and breaking off from the story. "I can't....I can't do this I need to sleep..." Just as Bo was saying this, the doctor finally came out to see them, kneeling down seeing instantly who it was that needed help. "OKay and who do we have here and why?"

Bo groaned and rubbed a hand down his face, wanting nothing more than to curl up on the cool floor and sleep for a very long time. Daisy sighed and watched him carefully, wishing the doctor would hurry up, having a good mind to go and find one and yell his ears off.

Bo sighed and opened his eyes again, whining a little. "But I'm tired.....I want ta sleep...." Daisy swallowed softly and rested a hand on his cheek. "C'mon Bo...just think about something to talk about...the Doc ain't gonna be long and then when he's checked you over i'm sure you can sleep for a little while...just concentrate Bo..."

Bo instantly responded to the familiar action Luke gave, resting his head on Luke's shoulder gently and starting to feel really sleepy, starting to close his eyes softly. Daisy smiled back to B.L, hugging her friend softly as she looked over to Bo as he leant his head on luke's shoulder and rested in his older cousin's embrace, before sitting up sharply and calling to him. "Bo! No Bo darlin' don't go to sleep!"

Daisy smiled gently, glad she was able to straighten Luke out a bit. She knew that Luke was worried about Bo, heck she was too, but when Luke worried, he seemed to worry more than the rest of them and sometimes it took a couple of calming minutes with him to get him to think straight again. As the two of them entered the hospital waiting room, Daisy took the chair the other side of B.L and gently whispered a thanks into her ear, frowning a little as she saw how much Bo was still shaking and how he looked a little spaced out again.

Daisy shook her head and sighed "Luke that ain't it and you know it....you know he's terrified of hospital's! He probably just didn't want ta make a big scene out of somethin' he don't think is real bad.....he just thinks he's got a few bruises and scrapes Luke! What if you were in his poisition and thought that...would ya want everyone makin' a fuss and face being wheeled around on a gurney because ya can't walk no matter how bad ya dont want ta admit it?"

Bo nodded and gently accept B.L's help. All he wanted was to get in, see a doctor and go again. There was nothing really wrong he was sure, it was just a few bruisesa and scrapes that hurt a bit... Daisy watched as B.L. helped Bo before turning to Luke. "Luke....what's gotten into you...why ain't you helpin'? Usually you'd be right there in a flash..."

Bo sniffed and looked away from them all, nodding his head as a sign he gave up. He just didn't want to have to be rushed into the hospital like some big emergancy, even a wheelchair would be better than a gurney.

Bo gently moved out the car very slowly, attempting to push himself to his feet but finding all he could do was slide down the side of the car and lean against it as his legs shook and refused to let him have his way. Daisy sighed and looked away, she hated to see either of her cousins in pain at any time but watching this was too much.

Bo clenched his jaw and gritted his teeth as he managed to get himself into sitting, pausing to glare slightly at Luke before swallowing and making a brave attempt to get out the car on his own. Daisy sighed and went to go and help Bo, but found herself stopped by Luke. She looked to him quizically.

Daisy pulled up not too long after Luke and B.L. did, hurrying to Luke and checking on Bo. Upon hearing where he was however and what B.L. had asked the nurse for, Bo determindly shook his head and started to attempt to sit up, saying breathlessly and slowly. "I....don't....need no....gurney...."

Hey everyone, John needs your support. Someone sent him a really really nasty email that is posted in a bullitan on his myspace account, and John is said to be quite shocked and upset about what had been said. It attacked his religious beliefs, saying that his new movie Collier and Co was un-christian and basically attacking his morals and lifestyle. He needs your support now more than ever Dukes fans, so roll on over to his official myspace account and show him with the rest of us just how much he is truly loved.

Daisy swallowed a little as she noticed the direction they were heading in. She thought that they were headed for Doc Appleby's, not realising really how seriously hurt Bo could be. she thought all there was were just a couple of painful bruises and scrapes...but obviously there had to be more to it than that. As B.L. drove quickly but steadily to the hospital, the bumps in the road started to become more defined and Bo instantly snapped awake with a small yell as the tyres hit a small rut in the road, causing the back to jump a little and jerk his still body.

Daisy gently climbed into the back as she supported Bo's head all the time until it rested against the seat, planting a gentle kiss and whispered words of love before getting back out the car and crossing hurridly over to Dixie as the procession started to move out, Luke as she expected riding with Bo and B.L. All this while, Bo didn't have a concious clue what was happening as he remained out like a light.

Bo nodded but quickly decided that was a bad idea as pain flared in his neck too. With a gentle gasp and breathing out Luke's name in a moan, he closed his eyes and promptly let the pain overtake him and drag him into unconciousness

Bo cried softly as he rested his head on Luke's shoulder, feeling many hands grip him and gently lift him off the ground, arching in pain again and gasping slightly as the movement aggravated so many bruises. He tried not to show how much pain he was in, not wanting to make Luke feel bad and noticing Daisy had gone as pale as a sheet, but he just couldn't hold it back any longer.

Bo swallowed and steeled himself quietly before sitting back up again slowly, turning to slide out the truck but as soon as his feet touched the floor, his legs gave way beneath him and he found himself falling to the road with an anguished cry of pain.

Bo knew it was Luke touching his shoulder as soon as he felt it, but he couldn't help but jerk away from his touch, crying out as it caused a chain reaction in his other injuries before saying pantingly to Luke. "I can't.,...I cna't move....Luke I can't move it hurts too bad..."
