actually, and then my thoughts would wander to my parents. Making the TV do what I want was cool, felt good about that, then I would think about being stuck in the old housing addition at the even older Coast Guard base for the next six weeks. Let’s face it, I’m riding a rollercoaster of emotions, with Mr. Bi-polar at the switch.
My headache was returning with a vengeance, the throbbing was starting to get painful. I would call for a nurse, but this bed has nothing hooked up to it. Time to revert to the old standards, I hollered “nurse, nurse, I need something for my headache, hello, anybody home”? Two nurses popped their heads through the door, one of them saying, “We’re not supposed to be in here, but we heard you holler, what is it you need”? Before I could answer, Nurse Mattie came storming through the door. “I’ve got this ladies, thanks so much”.
Nurse Mattie approached my bed as she was putting on her gloves. “Mercy that was quite loud Billy Speer, so you need something for a headache”? “It’s not head exploding level yet, but yeah something would be great”. She made her way over to the sink and opened the over- head cabinets and brought down a bottle of something. Taking the cap off of it, as she came back over to my bed, “hold your hand out”. I did as instructed, and received to pills, capsules actually. “So what are these”? “Hospital issue ibuprofen, 800 milligrams, so it should help for a while”. I looked around for some water or something, and as if she could read my mind, she pulled a can of Dr. Pepper out of her smock pocket……my hero.
Nurse Mattie smiled as she watched me pop down the pills, with the assistance of Dr. Pepper. Her smile widened as she was listening to Criminal Minds playing in the
55
background. Turning towards the TV, it looked as if she was pleased or proud, I’m not sure which, but she was definitely happy with my little achievement.
“Criminal Minds huh, checking up on us FBI folk”, she said sarcastically. “It’s my favorite show, because it has a lot of gore”. “Fair enough….., when you got the TV to come on, was it on this channel”? “No, it was on the news, I hate the news”. She stared at me for a moment with a bit of a grin. “So, you like TV gore, but not real gore”. Real gore was my parents being burned to death after the lightning struck the tree, and then fell on the house, so I guess I would not be a fan of real gore.
Nurse Mattie could tell by the look on my face that my mind was elsewhere. “I’m sorry, but after you said that, I started thinking about my parents”. She came closer to the bed,” no Billy I’m sorry, that just slipped out”. I raised my head to meet her eyes, “So what happened with my parents”? Nurse Mattie just looked into my eyes for a moment and said, “They’re going to have to be cremated Billy, and I’ll be in touch with the funeral parlor for details and time of the service”. Upon hearing that it now seemed official that I’ll never see my parents again. Even though I knew they were dead, it didn’t seem real until she told me that…………damn.
My head was actually starting to feel better, even after only a few moments of silence. I could tell she didn’t want to push the issue. “I understand my light show in the ER made You Tube, is that right”? Nurse Mattie gave me a sur-prised look, “That is correct, how did you find out about it”? “Sheriff Pasco told me that his son saw it and told him about
56
it, then I guess he watched it too”. “I see, well I actually do want you to watch it, but the problem is that I just can’t bring my phone in for you to see it, you understand”. Boy did I ever,
