She’d been on a clear-fluids diet for two weeks after being woken from her coma. Even now, over a month later, she’s barely progressed from the very basics. Plain toast, rice, tea (a lot of tea, because it soothes her throat), crackers, jello, and soup broth. She’s hoping at her next doctor’s appointment they’ll tell her she can start eating something more varied. The probiotic is helping a lot, and she feels much better, her body is finally absorbing nutrients properly so she doesn’t constantly feel fatigued.
Now it’s mostly trying to salvage her life. Call people, loved one's, lawyer-- people who would probably like to know she isn’t dead. Now it’s mostly getting her bearings and getting her health back. She’s glad to be out of the hospital, glad Claire let her stay with her while she got herself organized. Claire (and Owen) at least understood what the hell she went through, even they’d thought she was dead, everyone did. But here she is, a little worse for wear, but ALIVE. In pain, and frustrated, but alive.
❝ I read some articles about the incident. ❞ She’s still mostly dead, so she hasn’t gotten many emails (thank god she’d been able to restore her laptop and phone from a back up, after getting new ones-- her memory is a little fickle) or been contacted by lawyers, but she still worries about the legal fiasco going on.
