As she became aware of his gaze, she stopped her ministrations and offered him a sip of water. Take it easy, she whispered. You mustnt drink too quickly. Too much, too fast will give you nasty cramps.
Jack was aware of bandages on his muscular arms and casts on both legs. Intravenous tubing carried a clear fluid into his veins. Consciousness was still transient. Dreams of a strange pasture mingled with reality and continued to haunt his sleep. He understood he was on a hospital ward, but where? And how did he get here?
The pretty young nurse was back. We cabled your wife. She knows you were injured but are on the mend.
How did they find me? Jack asked.
A patrol looking for survivors found you buried in the foxhole. You were calling Lily!They started digging and there you were. You were stabilized at the field hospital before they could bring you here. We scrubbed you up and started to you with I. V. therapy. You were very dehydrated and suffering from urinary retention and renal failure. Your kidneys may never function normally again. The good news is that you survived, she explained.
A stray strand of hair fell across Jacks cheek hiding the tears that crept from his eyes. He was grateful to have his life back. He silently saluted his friend. Mike hadnt been so lucky.
