I’ve had the operation. I open my eyes. “Where am I?”
“You’re in Intensive Care. You lost a lot of blood and you needed a transfusion. My name is Ruby. I will be looking after you”. Ruby has soft and tender eyes. She is from the Philippines. She sits at a desk at the foot of my bed. I am full of tubes and drains. It is very peaceful in ICU. There are no other patients near me and few visitors. Everyone has to ring first before they are allowed in. I have a venflo in my neck for all my medication. It feels weird, like I am choking slightly. I am very sick, but Ruby is always there, helping me over it with regular injections. I am able to sleep a little for the first time in weeks. I drift in and out of consciousness. Chris is at my bedside. I can’t remember him coming in. When he is no longer there I don’t remember him leaving.
