“How are you feeling?’

“I’m still having some pain but it feels like the Percocet is working. How much longer before I get out of here?”

“Yes. No fragments in my arm. CT was normal. Not sure why I passed out.”

“May be the shock. Are you cold?”

“It’s freezing in here, especially since the police took off with my T-shirt, and all I’ve got is this gown.”

And the police also have the plastic bags that my hands were in.
