Daddy Duke (continuation of Why is it)


Recommended Posts

Deep down, Luke knew that most likely everything would be fine. He and Bo had been in worse situations before and had come out okay. He couldn't pinpoint what exactly had him so frigtened. But since his time in Nam, it was all Luke could do to relinquish control over to someone whenever it involved himself. Truth be told, the only person he really trusted with himself was Bo...and that was soley because Bo had been his constant anchor, even when he was away.

For a long while the silence hung in the air, not an uncomfortable one but a peaceful, relaxing one which was very unusal with the two boys around. Very rare was it that Luke and Bo ever got a quiet moment to themselves and so they were glad for the times that they did get.

It was soon broken however by Luke's anethetist and surgeon entering the room to talk with Luke.

Bo nodded with a smile and hopped off the bed, heading out the door and down to find Uncle Jesse, wondering where the older man had gotten to.

The surgeon waited until Bo had left before answering Luke's question and headed over to the -rays.

"What we're going to do, is make an incision in your foot here..." He pointed to the x-ray "...then once we're inside we'll set about putting the bones back in the right place, put a couple of small pins in there to help the bones have something stable to repair against then close you up..."

Bo finally spotted him and headed over, leaning against the wall to wait until Jesse had finished his conversation with Daisy on the phone.

The surgeon sighed and looked to him.

"To be honest, it will take anywhere from 4-6 months for the bone to set properly...then after that you'll have to have therapy on your foot to help you walk on it again....that could take another couple of months..."

Bo chuckled and nodded, having been on the recieving end of a phone conversation with Daisy before.

"You're tellin' me.."

The surgeon smiled a little and patted his shoulder.

"Look at it this way...it could have been much worse...the mule could have stepped hard enough to permanantly damage your foot beyong repair...i've seen that happen in a few cases..."

Bo shrugged with his one shoulder.

"Luke's having his operation in about an hour, but he's being prepped for it in half an hour...the surgeon and anethatist is with him explainin' stuff..."

The anethatist then stepped forward.

"Now Luke i've looked over your records and apparently you don't react too well to anestethics?"
