"Oh Mr. Seth you have to go out. You can't get Seaman Kovac sick. Please go out and put the gown, mask, and gloves on before you come back." The nurse hurriedly instructing when she glanced behind her and saw Seth walk in. She pointed to a container that hung on the door that had box of masks, a package of gowns, and three boxes of gloves ranging from small to large. The nurse pushed Seth out and close the door,
"You may knock to come back in after you put on the safety gear." she told him.
The nurse then turned to her confused yet more alert looking patient. Eddie had been frowning and watching Seth and the nurses interaction. She smiled slightly recognizing Seth, but went back to frowning when he was pushed out.
"What happened? Why is my leg gone?" Eddie asked looking at the nurse, "Where am I? How long?" she added pausing to cough. Her throat was so dry! The nurse smiled sadly at Eddie,
"You're in Landstuhl Regional Medical Center. You've been here about three weeks now. They had to amputate your leg upon arrival because it was badly infected and it was making your blood infection worse. " the nurse explaine dgently making Eddie lay back down. She pushed some buttons so the bed sat up, but she didn't want Eddie doing too much that could mess with her wires and tubes right now.
"I'll talk to the doctor we can see if you're ready to take water to help you're throat. For now just relax and rest. Your body is exhausted from fighting the infection and you need to rest." the nurse instructed pulling the blanket around Eddie's waist again not wanting her to fixate on her leg or mess with the stitching.
"Just ring if you need anything, sweetie." the nurse finished as she turned to leave and fetch the doctor
"Can Seth come back?" Eddie asked,
"If he's put the protective gear on." the nurse promised opening the door and stepping out.
