Chapter 121

Anna could not access what he meant by "now we can have each other, she also didn't really want to get too intimate with him, but she just didn't want him to feel bad.

She smiled seductively at him, but he wanted more than just the smile, he wanted her to go crazy with him.

Maybe if he sees how crazy or calm she was on bed, he could remember her.

Since he woke up from coma, he hasn't been told much, he could remember his parents, but it was hard remembering this woman they call his wife, even her smell was not familiar. He needed a closure and a proximity towards her.

"You don't want to do this right? He said sending her resistance toward him, she nodded her head trying to force herself to feel what he wanted from her, but it wasn't working.

"This is a hospital, we cannot do anything here, maybe if you are discharged" He cut her in, not wanting her to finish, he got really upset, went back and opened the door, it was so difficult for him wheeling himself to the door. Anna tried to apologise.

"I am sorry, I didn't mean to upset you; she pleaded, but he was too angry.

"Get out! He said in a rather calm but very firm voice, Anna knew she couldn't be there anymore, she needed to leave, he had become so aggressive since he woke up from coma, he was often angry and sad, nothing she did pleased him, especially if she didn't do what he wanted.

Anna rushed out, not wanting to anger him any further, she managed to say "I am sorry" before leaving, but that only seemed to Infuriate him the more.

"I say get out! He screamed and Anna walked out in tears.

Doctor Raji and his team heard the scream and rushed towards the direction, they thought he had injured himself, but when they found Anna outside the door crying, they suspected, something else had happened.

They opened the door and walked in to find Andrew, seated in his wheel chair.

"You are progressing" doctor Raji said after checking his temperature and his eyes, he tried the question and answer section with him again and this time, he didn't answer him the way he had done the other time.

Anna stood at the door watching them, she soon felt like throwing up, but she held herself, she wanted to know if her husband was going to be alright.

"Tell me your name again; he asked but he smiled and said his name was Peter.

The doctors exchanged glances and then Doctor Surag said.

"Did you see Peter this morning? He wanted to know if, because he had spent the night in the company of his brother Peter, he now feels his name was Peter.

"No, I saw Andrew" he answered. Watching him Anna could not be strong anymore, she broke down in tears and the third doctor quickly moved her to the hospital, he was soon sedated a d placed gently on the bed, he needed to rest his brain.

Getting back to Anna at the hospital, she had questions for the doctor's.

"What is wrong with my husband, I thought that after waking up from coma, he would be okay, why is he still like this, this is over a week since he woke up from Coma and it hasn't been pleasing at all.

Doctor Surag felt pity for Anna, he could relate to what she must be passing through, after all, he sees this thing back at home all the time. 

"These things takes time, but gradually, it will get better.

People in a coma or a VS need a lot of care

"What is VS.

Vegetational stage.

This is the stage where the comatose patient might need to be Fed with a feeding tube.

Turning the person while he or she is in bed to prevent pressure injuries (“pressure sores”).

Helping with bowel and bladder relief. This may include using a catheter or diapers.

Managing breathing. This may include removing mucus from the airway. It may also include cleaning a tracheostomy tube.

Managing muscle tone. This includes helping to relieve extremely tight muscles with positioning and range of motion exercises.

Using special equipment. This may include a wheelchair. But gradually, he will regain his memory and everything will go back to normal; doctor Surag concluded, tapping her shoulder and steppjng out, without waiting for her to ask him any further questions, she also didn't seem like she wanted to talk much, she was just crying and all she needed at the time was consolation.

"Doctor Raji then spoke up.

"Don't mind his aggressive nature, he is just frustrated, that he cannot remember you, you are his wife and the mother if his child, he feels bad, he just wants to take out his anger on someone.

"I am not angry" she said admist tears.               I am just worried that he is acting like he is now insane,  I am just worried.

"Just care for him, he may need special bedding to help with proper posture, decrease muscle tightness, and prevent pressure sores.

Though I have told your father about it and he is already getting it, by tomorrow he should move, soon he will be discharged and we can treat him from home before we go back to our country.

Anna  felt a bit relieved with the news and words of encouragement from the doctors.

"I promise you, soon, your husband will be alright again"

"So you mean, that for now, I should expect more of his strange reactions?

"Yes, because he is also having difficulty, remember this has to do with what the brain can process, firget about the old memories and try to create new ones with him, let him have the good memories of this time, gradually he will remember.

"Will he ever remember me?

Off course he will remember you, he is an Anderson after all, they are strong men, and would fight relentlessly, until what they want us gotten.

Anna smiled and stood up to leave, she didn't want to be at the hospital anymore, she was sick to her stomach.
