Mainland Hospital Sunday, late morning

When Shep cracks his eyes open, something about the angle of the sunlight coming through the window tells him that it's late morning.

The muted pain in his arm and hand tell him that he's in the hospital. He has a few vague memories of Dr. Wilson handing him over to the paramedics and the paramedics handing him over to the e.r. docs. Then a bunch of questions about his allergies and medical history - which got damn tricky given his current situation and people not having certain levels of clearance and the amount of drugs in his system and the amount of blood out of his system. He hoped he didn't say anything too stupid. Then someone was telling him to count backwards from ten... then he was... here...

"The sword fight... right. Damn."

He rolls his head to see his hand being held up in some contraption that probably would have fit in at that mid-evil faire. There's a brace that goes from his fingers to the middle of his arm. He supposes it could be worse, it could be a plaster cast. His fingers are kind of discolored and puffy.

There's an IV in his other elbow. Shep rolls his eyes. He's gonna have to pee every two hours like clockwork with this stupid thing in.

His brain is fuzzy. He suspects that has something to do with the PCM machine hanging on his IV poll.

"Drugs good," he mutters.

He wants to go back to sleep, but suspects he's slept-out for a while. So now he's just bored.



[ooc: Anyone who wants to (and gets permission from the Dean if they need it) feel free to drop by and visit. Once someone brings Shep his laptop he'll turn on his email and instant message programs.:)]

Wesley walks in. "I hear you took the authenticity a bit too far."

Not that I know of. You're just the buzz of the fair. "Student nearly killed". Of course that happens every day...

He looks sheepish. "Flowers didn't seem quite appropriate, but I did bring a novel..." He hands over Whip Hand by Dick Francis.

"I haven't seen Lana; if you want, I'll get the laptop. Anything else?"

"Yes, you made the radio. The Pirate's not very impressed with your and Han's sword skills. I can't say that I've seen Han; I've mostly been avoiding Parker as if she had the pneumonic plague worrying about the kitten."

Lana knocks on the edge of the door and peeks around the corner. "Shep?" She's carrying a duffle bag of stuff and looks a little nervous.

*I* did *nothing* to Parker *or* to her associates, but at this rate they'll be blaming me for the Great Fire of 1666, the extinction of the dodo, and the Fall of Man!

He takes a deep breath. "Damn. You're allergic to cats? Oh, dear." He looks worried, then continues. "I'll make a trip up to the room and grab your things."

Wesley stands abruptly. "I won't intrude any longer. Miss Lang." He bobs his head at Lana and heads for the door.

Lana waves to Wes, "Hi, Wes. I've got his stuff here. I couldn't find you, so one of the maintenance people let me in to the room."

"Wyndam." He makes for the door.

[identity profile] lovelylana.livejournal.com 2005-11-20 05:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Lana looks confused. "Intrude? But you're here to see Shep... You're not... did I do something to insult you?"

"Yes, we all played Jeopardy together the other night. Did I say something wrong?"

[identity profile] lovelylana.livejournal.com 2005-11-20 05:40 pm (UTC)(link)
"No, no, that's okay. I'll go." Lana looks incredibly confused. "I'm really not supposed to be here anyway."

[identity profile] lovelylana.livejournal.com 2005-11-20 05:42 pm (UTC)(link)
"Oh... I'm sorry. I didn't mean..." She sighs. "Gosh, I hope... Oh well.... I, um, brought your stuff and I picked up something else that might help." She holds out a package. "It's one of those Tracphone things? Almost like a disposable cell phone? So you can call people if you need to."

[identity profile] lovelylana.livejournal.com 2005-11-20 05:46 pm (UTC)(link)
"Likes...? Oh!" Lana looks embarrassed, "I don't know about that... I guess..." She takes a deep breath and pulls hereslf together, then realizes what Shep's doing and giggles.

"That's a very kind offer, but I think I'll leave the drugs to you. How are you feeling?"

"I'll let people know. And speaking of that... are there people I should contact? Friends or family or anything? Professors?"

Paige knocks on the door and pokes her head in, "Shep? You up to another visitor?"
