“Are you hungry?” he asked.
“I think I can eat.”
“What sounds good?”
“Don’t put yourself out. Anything is fine. A piece of fruit or yogurt would do.” She hated feeling so helpless.
“I can make an omelet,” he offered.
“No. That’s too much work, seriously.”
“Would you stop worrying about being a pain already? I don’t mind. I can scramble some eggs and heat sausage. But first, how does a cup of coffee sound?”
“Like heaven on earth.” She waited for him to leave the room before she tried to sit up. Pain shot through her with every movement. She fought through it. No way was she asking him to help her to the bathroom.
Carefully, she inched her legs toward the side of the bed until her feet hung off.
How long did the nurse say it would take before Lisa felt better?
At this rate, it was going to take a long time to make it to the bathroom let alone go for a run again. She shook it off and forced her legs over the side of the bed.
Pushing up on her arms, she winced. A good look at the bruises there only made things worse. At least she could use her anger to fuel her determination to get up. She focused all her energy on standing.
The first few steps were like walking on stilts for the first time. A few more and she started getting the hang of how to lean in order to reduce the pain that came with movement. By the time she returned to the bed, she was energized. Being able to do something for herself so soon was a huge win.
“Hold on there. Let me help you.” Ryan stood in the doorway two-fisting cups of coffee.
“No problem. I got this,” she said, in too much pain to outwardly express her excitement.
