"He finally ran out of steam and I asked, "Doctor, how long will I be ... like this?" I raised my free arm to my head and patted the bandages, showing...him what I meant."Oh," he half laughed, half coughed. "We will remove many of the bandages later this afternoon and see how you're doing, then – if all goes well – we'll take the rest off tonight. You'll be on your feet tomorrow, walking and getting your sea legs and then we'll be able to see how fast you recuperate and how soon we can get you. I’ll ask if you can come over to keep me safe.”“They’ll just let me come over with no one there but us?”“Why sure silly!”“Interesting, anyway, I’ll call you tomorrow after work.”“Oh yeah, call me after work, then come over and give me a ride in the new car! I may have something for you too!”“Yeah, sure ... the car, the Bronco, I forgot about that ... see what you do to me?!”“You’re too sweet. See you tomorrow! Bye-bye!”Kelly hung up before Chuck could respond. He cleaned things up, especially. " Baby he said I tried to take you with me he'd kill me when he caught upto us. I have to think of your baby brother in this." She kissed me asshe got in the truck, then left as fast as she could go.I'd thrown myself across my bed crying, I was alone again. The only onewho accepted me for who I was had been driven away.Unsure how long I lay there crying, I never heard him come home. Notuntil his hand locked into my long brown hair to pull me to my feet."I should have known I'd find you crying. A smile and a glance at each of us, and she was out.“You happy, baby?” Charlie asked me.“Couldn’t be happier, husband of mine. Couldn’t be happier.” We snuggled and slept well.We got up and had a breakfast in the lobby eatery, then went to get our clubs. They gave him some clubs to use and put us out on the house again, knowing we were leaving. Cheryl rode alone, and I was with Charlie in the cart, me driving, naturally. He really enjoyed seeing me come out in so many different activities..
