(Sorry, got busy. ) "Shane said he's going to come and visit you again," Jason told her. "Other than that... we might do some tests to determine how much feeling you have in your extremities, but range-of-movement tests have to wait. Don't want to rebreak any bones. So yeah... basically, bedrest until further notice, but if you recover quickly further notice might come within the week. If you finish that book and need further reading material, there's four more in that series, and then two other series that deal with the same characters." He paused, then added, "I promised Shane I'd clear out before he got back from the pharmacy so he could hang out with you without me looking over his shoulder. Is there anything you need before I go?"

Karina shook her head at this question. "No, I'm fine, but I'll let you know when I'm done reading this one. It's really great for a distraction from this place." She smiled, glad that Shane would be coming back to visit her. "Thanks for everything, though, Jason. But, I was wondering... does my mom or anyone know I'm in here? I've been in here a day, and haven't gotten anything or seen anyone besides other patients and doctors."

He got the prescription from the pharmacy corner at the end of the corridor. He looked at the bill that was handed to him and gulped. He quickly stuffed it into his pocket along with the medicines and started walking towards Karina's room, with a slightly worried expression on his face.

Jason shrugged. "It's hospital policy to contact people's families whenever we can get hold of them," he said. "I'll check with the front desk and see if we could track down anybody from yours." He had met Karina's family briefly, and thought they were very nice people -- which explained a lot about Karina, now that he thought about it. He figured it'd do her good to have people like that around, and that he should do everything in his power to make sure if she wanted them here, she got them.
"If nobody from your family's been contacted yet, I'll make the phone calls personally," he assured her. "Everything else is okay, though? You're getting enough pain meds and everything?"

Karina nodded and smiled. "Yeah, everything's fine. It's just tiring not being able to get up and move around." In truth, she was almost dizzy from all the meds they were giving her, though she'd rather be dizzy than in pain. Her experience with a broken ankle on a lost island was still fresh in memory, along with all the pain it brought. "I'll call you if anything's gone wrong or I need something. Thanks."

"No problem," Jason said. "I'll be back in later to let you know the status on your family... if they've already been contacted they're probably on their way, but if they haven't they might not make visiting hours tonight. Have fun with Shane in the meantime, though." He smiled and walked out of the room. Just then, he saw Shane turn into the corridor and start heading toward Karina's room. He turned and went in the opposite direction, giving the two younger people their privacy. (OOC: Sorry if I godmodded Shane a bit there, but I figured he'd be popping up shortly after Jason left anyway. This way Karina doesn't have to wait long for him.

(( Np problem, that was gonna be my first line anyway )) Shane was in thought and looked up to see Dr York already down the hall. He must have finished his check up of Karina. He peaked into the room and spoke with a smile, "Good morning, my fair lady! How are you today?" He entered the room and gave a mock bow.

Karina blushed and smiled at Shane as he walked in with an elegant bow. "I'm quite fine, dear knight. What have you to entertain me with today? Perhaps a jester or acrobats?" She played along a little, and giggled at his merryments. It was good to have Shane's good, cheery self back in her room again.

Shane straightened up and grinned at the question from Karina. He then retrieved a pack of playing cards from his pockets and showed it to her. I have playing cards..." He had almost forgotten about the problems when he had walked in to find a smiling Karina welcoming him. The worries, mostly about money were still there at the back of his mind but he tried his best to ignore them for now.

"Are we gonna finish our game from last night, then? Or, wait. I don't remember if we had finished or not. Must be the medication." She frowned slightly, wondering, but then smiled again and looked up at Shane. "How are you doing after your surgery? You're lucky you won't have to be here as long as I will. It's a pain not being able to move..." Karina did envy him, and wanted to be able to use her legs and move, but she noticed last night that she couldn't wiggle the toes on her left foot, which bothered her.

He brought up his hand to scratch his head and found the bandage, bringing his hand back down as he thought. "You know what, I can't remember either. But then, I wasn't really paying attention to the game...", he added with a shrug and a smile in her direction.
He sat down in front of her with a sigh as she mentioned she thought he was lucky. His smile was gone as he thought about whether to share his little bundle of problems with her or not, the financial problem and the situation with his future in basketball. He smiled after a while as he looked up at the girl in front of him who had enough problems of herself for now.
"I can come visit you if you like...", he suggested, then paused before adding as he realized something, "You... I mean nobody's coming to see you or get you?" He had noticed she hadn't had any visitors since he had walked in which was a bit odd seeing the amount of injuries she had.

As Shane was observing how unusual it was for Karina not to have any visitors, Jason was calling her family. He assured them that Karina was recovering, and that she would regain full mobility in a couple of weeks, but also cautioned them that once out of the hospital she would likely need physical therapy. They had some financial questions, and he told them he'd have someone call them back from billing to answer those. He wondered how badly paying for this might break Karina and her family. He didn't have much of his own, and what he did have was also Wendy's, so he couldn't just offer to help them out. He felt bad for them, and for Shane as well... he had read the boy's chart, and knew he didn't have insurance.

"I don't know if anyone knows I'm here." She folded her hands in her lap, thinking of her parents and of her crazy ex-boyfriend. "If you would visit, me though, that would be great." The idea of seeing Shane again made her smile and look up at him again, and thoughts of spending time with him out of the hospital made her wish she could walk righht out of there that minute.
"Dr. York said something about possibly needing physical therapy, but I'm hoping I'll heal up okay. I don't want to stay here any longer than I have to." Thoughts of her family brought up complications she'd had with Seth, and she wondered why he hadn't, of all people who might contact her, come and seen her, as protective as she was. I'll ask Jason about him next time he comes in here. Maybe he can call him for me. In truth, she was going to break up with him as soon as she saw or heard from him.

He raised an eyebrow and then tried to reassure her, "I am sure the hospital has contacted them already. They should be coming soon. His face brightened up when she said that she would like if he visited her. He grinned and added, "Its just that it might be a bit hard for everyone to explain to your family what I was doing in your room. So just warn me if... when they come. I can't really fight off a jealous boyfriend in this condition." He pointed at the bandage on his head as he said it.
"So I never got to ask you, what do you do, as in work?", he asked casually and took out the cards and started shuffling them.

"Work? Um..." Karina thought for a moment, and it almost felt that she was about to say where, but then it dissapeared, and she had no answer, thought it felt wrong somehow. "I don't remember if I had a job or not. It seems like maybe...but, then it doesn't." Frowning, she tried to think of the jobs around town, but nothing came to mind. "That's weird..." She mumbled to herself.
