Saunders, I see that you’re feeling frustrated. If you just try to get some rest, you may feel better. I have pain management drugs I can put you on...” “No!” I quickly replied. There was silence for a moment. I tried to calm myself, and spoke again, “No, I want to be discharged.” “I’m afraid you cannot be discharged so soon after a surgery, you risk furthering your injuries. You’ll need to stay here for at least 48 hours. It’s the law.” I found this unacceptable. The idea of staying in this. Karen dropped what she was doing and went right over. "I'm sorry!"I gave Jean a look; she got it. "It was my fault as much as it was yours -- maybe more. Forget it," Jean told Karen.Karen flashed me a look; I waved it off. "Okay. Friends?" she asked Jean."Sure."Karen nodded and went back to my eggs. I waved at the kids, "Hey, if you don't have anything to do, we still have to empty the truck before things get too hot..." That put THEM in gear and allowed me to eat; Jean went out to. . Well, embarrassed and trying to hide my hard on I replied.. Yes next Friday Ill take care of it. I quickly got out the house and turned everything off in the back and went home. Next Friday around the same time I showed up with paint, roller, drop cloth, and ladder. She lets me in and this time shes fully covered and not showing any skin.. So I prep the closet, and start.. As I worked I could hear her on the phone with someone. She was talking about how her husband is out again getting drunk. When we went on campouts on the ranch, Jake preferred to lay down next to our bedrolls instead of being with the other horses. He also constantly hung around the house begging for treats instead of performing guard duty. Jake was very persistent in looking for treats in every pant and shirt pocket with his sensitive and inquisitive nose. Often times very embarrassingly so when Alexis's girlfriends were over repeatedly nuzzling their shirt pockets with a velvet soft nose eliciting giggles from.
