Five days. I had been in bed for a whole five days now. After falling asleep in Joshua's arms, I had slept soundly until the afternoon.
I had been exhausted and in pain. Joshua had taken good care of me. He had brought me something to eat and painkillers. Then a doctor had come and, after a few tests, had inserted an infusion with pain medication. I slept through the rest of the day. When I woke up the next time, it was morning and the doctor had just checked my IV.
After he had been satisfied with his examinations, he had removed the infusion and said goodbye.
It had been a great four following days but now the roof was slowly falling over my head.
Everyone had come to visit me over the last few days. Every time I had been just a little exhausted, Joshua had kicked everyone out.
