DaisyMaeDuke Posted August 29, 2007 Author Report Posted August 29, 2007 "My cousin's mad at me." Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted August 29, 2007 Report Posted August 29, 2007 The doctor frowned, as she concentrated."Mad? What for?" Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted August 29, 2007 Author Report Posted August 29, 2007 "I was teasin' him...guess I took it too far..." Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted August 29, 2007 Report Posted August 29, 2007 The doctor nodded a little."Well...sometimes when its later people get more grumpy and more touchy than usual about things..." Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted August 29, 2007 Author Report Posted August 29, 2007 "Yeah...I guess so," answered Luke softly. Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted August 29, 2007 Report Posted August 29, 2007 She smiled softly, glancing to him, her hands wet with the plaster."I'm sure he isn't that mad...I didn't hear any screamin' when I came up.." Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted August 29, 2007 Report Posted August 29, 2007 The doctor nodded, continuing to wrap his foot with the nurse. Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted August 29, 2007 Author Report Posted August 29, 2007 Luke bit his lip as his foot was still very tender. He said nothing however just watching her. Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted August 29, 2007 Report Posted August 29, 2007 The doctor worked quickly and carefully, taking note of the more tender looking areas and being as careful as she could with them. Not too long later, it was all done and setting."As soon as that's dry, we'll traction it again..." Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted August 29, 2007 Author Report Posted August 29, 2007 "Great," said Luke a bit sarcastically, the traction doing nothing except remind him that he wouldn't be on his own feet for a while. Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted August 29, 2007 Report Posted August 29, 2007 The doctor laughed a little, writing some things on a chart before replacing it and dismissing the nurse as she tidyed up."Now I know its not the greatest thing in the world but it's helping..." Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted August 29, 2007 Author Report Posted August 29, 2007 "If you say so," he answered miserably. Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted August 30, 2007 Report Posted August 30, 2007 The doctor sighed gently, folding her arms."So your gonna pout and whiny like a little baby now just because the mean ol' doctor put your leg in nasty traction..." Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted August 30, 2007 Author Report Posted August 30, 2007 "No...just hard bein laid up is all..." he answerd honestly. "I ain't one t' stay still." Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted August 30, 2007 Report Posted August 30, 2007 The doctor nodded with a smile."I could tell that right off...most people wouldn't complain about a broken foot...they'd use it as an excuse to get outta work...its only the hard workers that complain..." Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted August 30, 2007 Author Report Posted August 30, 2007 Luke nodded. "It takes all of us to run that farm." Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted August 30, 2007 Report Posted August 30, 2007 The doctor nodded in understanding."Well I'm sure things will be ok for a while...and they can always get help if they need it i'm sure..." Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted August 30, 2007 Author Report Posted August 30, 2007 "Yeah...I know. " He looked at his foot. "Stupid Mule." Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted August 30, 2007 Report Posted August 30, 2007 "Now don't go blaiming the Mule...she was probably trying to do you a favour by giving you the time off...either that or she's got four feet to watch remember...maybe you should look where you leave your foot next time..."She said with a cheeky grin. Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted August 30, 2007 Author Report Posted August 30, 2007 Luke couldn't help but smile at her. "I thought doctors were s'posed t be merciful and sympathetic?" he said giving a small pout. He couldn't do it as well as Bo, but when needed it often came in handy. Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted August 30, 2007 Report Posted August 30, 2007 The doctor laughed."Well that's a gross minconception...we can be very sympathetc when we feel like the patient deserves it...but leaving your foot where a mule could tread on it doesn't seem to deserve a lot of sympathy..."She said with a wink. Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted August 30, 2007 Author Report Posted August 30, 2007 Luke gave her a hurt look, but there was smile behind it. Quote
BoJamesDuke Posted August 30, 2007 Report Posted August 30, 2007 The doctor smiled back before turning to go."You best get some sleep...I gotta go wash my hands..." Quote
DaisyMaeDuke Posted August 30, 2007 Author Report Posted August 30, 2007 "Will you...will you come back?" he asked. Quote
