Omega19x: *Ryou and Malik are off to go get Malik's injuries checked out with the physical therapist at Skip-bo General*
ph33r my rod: *drivedrivedrive, sitsitsit, waitwaitwait*
Omega19x: (lollollol)
ph33r my rod: (( "Drivedrivedrive" amuses me. ;D ))
Omega19x: "Ah, Mr. Ishtar, how have you been doing lately?" <- physical therapist lady.
ph33r my rod: *is still doing the half-walk-thingy* "...pretty well, all things considered."
Omega19x: "Have you been putting more weight on your leg, and doing the exercises like I asked?"
Omega19x: *going through her chart*
Omega19x: *watches, and nods on Malik's behalf too*
ph33r my rod: *nodnod* "It's starting to get a little easier to put weight on it, yeah."
Omega19x: "That is good."
Omega19x: "I see your arm is still wrapped in the sling. Has the shoulder still given you pain when you are moving it? Or can you move it more frequently now?"
ph33r my rod: "It still hurts a little bit when I try to move it, but not too much. Just kind of a dull ache."
Omega19x: "That's likely from the collarbone too."
Omega19x: "I'd suggest taking it out of the sling, to be honest. And trying to build back a larger range of motion."
Omega19x: "It's best to work on some simple exercise that strengthen the rotator cuff muscles. This will help make sure the shoulder stays in the joint in the future."
Omega19x: "It might take a good six to eight weeks to get back normal motion, though. So be patient."
Omega19x: "But you should be able to do simple things with that shoulder, and just ease off if you feel pain."
ph33r my rod: *nods* "Okay."
Omega19x: "Oh, that's good, Malik... You won't need the sling anymore."
ph33r my rod: *grins* "Yeah."
Omega19x: "But you are improving quite a lot. I can tell you have been doing a good job in the recovery process."
ph33r my rod: "It's not healed enough to where I can use two crutches, is it?"
Omega19x: "With the increased weight you've been putting on that leg, I would hope you can be weaned off the one crutch soon."
ph33r my rod: "Oh yeah..."
Omega19x: "That would be more to your benefit, Mr. Ishtar."
ph33r my rod: "Okay, I can do that." *still annoying to be on just one crutch though, feels all lopsided*
Omega19x: "... the sooner you can walk on your own again, the better." *smile*
Omega19x: 'And I know you can do it too."
Omega19x: "I believe in you!"
ph33r my rod: *grins* "Yeah... and at least I can actually use my arm a bit again."
Omega19x: "That's good too."
Omega19x: "Just... just take it easy if it hurts a lot..."
ph33r my rod: *nods* "Uh huh. It just feels kinda like a dull throb now if I try to move it too much... but still, yeah, I'll take it easy."
Omega19x: "Just gradually ease into the motion exercises. You've had to keep it still for a long time. It will take time to properly heal."
Omega19x: "At any time, you can always call and ask questions about how it is progressing."
Omega19x: 'But I think you will be just fine."
ph33r my rod: "Okay, great."
Omega19x: "yes... it is great." *smiles*
ph33r my rod: *makes a mental note to hug Ryou as soon as he takes his arm out of the sling* "About how long should it take for my leg to heal? Or does it depend on how much I walk on it between now and then?"
Omega19x: "I would expect you to be without crutches in a couple of weeks, as long as you continue exercising and walking when you can."
Omega19x: "perhaps sooner if you are dilligent."
ph33r my rod: *nodnod* "Alright."
Omega19x: "Is there anything else I can do for you today, Mr. Ishtar?"
ph33r my rod: "No, I think that's it. Thanks."
Omega19x: "Of course."
ph33r my rod: *checkupwrapsupandleaveness?*
Omega19x: *okay*
Omega19x: *and back home they go*
ph33r my rod: (( XDDDD Mahaado was watching Spongebob! ))
Omega19x: "isn't that good? Things are getting so much better..."
Omega19x: (yes.)
ph33r my rod: *nodnod* "Things will be much easier since I can actually use my arm a bit now."
Omega19x: "oh yes."
Omega19x: *smiles*
Omega19x: "... it's easier to hug with both arms."
ph33r my rod: *homeness!*
Omega19x: *yay, home*
ph33r my rod: *once inside, Malik starts taking his arm out of the sling* "Gah, I'm glad I can take this thing off for good... it gets really cramped."
Omega19x: "I'm glad too."
Omega19x: *rubs his shoulder very gently*
ph33r my rod: *carefully stretches his arm out once the sling is off* "...much better."
Omega19x: *smiles*
ph33r my rod: *wraps his arms around Ryou, giving him a gentle hug* "I missed doing that, too..."
Omega19x: *smiles*
Omega19x: "... I'll always hug you if you can't hug me..."
ph33r my rod: "...well, now I can again. So you'll have to settle for hugging each other." *smirk*
Omega19x: "... I think I like that better anyway." *quick peck*
ph33r my rod: *nods in agreement* "Now my leg just needs to heal the rest of the way, and I'll be back to me again."
Omega19x: "you're still you. Just... a little limp..."
Omega19x: *smiles*
Omega19x: (omg, that sounds wrong...)
ph33r my rod: (( ...*DIES* ))
Omega19x: "... but it'll get better..."
ph33r my rod: "Yeah, as long as I keep doing those exercises and put more weight on it when I can."
Omega19x: "... do you need help going back upstairs? Or... do you want to stay down here?"
ph33r my rod: "I'll stay down here for a while, I think... still kinda tired from yesterday, wanna rest a bit."
Omega19x: "okay."
Omega19x: *props some pillows on the couch down there, so he can prop his leg up easier*
ph33r my rod: *rests his leg on them, smiling gratefully* "...thanks."
Omega19x: "... any time."
ph33r my rod: "Well, I mean just... for everything you've done for me while I've been hurt." *sighs* "It means so much."
ph33r my rod: (( brb ))
ph33r my rod: (( back ))
Omega19x: (wb)
Omega19x: "I'd... I'd do anything for you, Malik... you've done so much more for me than I could ever hope to do for you..."
ph33r my rod: *smiles* "I'll still do anything for you that I can..."
Omega19x: *kneels down next to the couch, and wraps his arms around Malik*
ph33r my rod: *wraps his around Ryou as well*
Omega19x: (dude, I just went to the kitchen to get cookies, and got shocked by two different lightswitches)
ph33r my rod: (( ...wtf. D: ))
Omega19x: (big shocks too. my index finger hurts.)
ph33r my rod: (( Ow. X_X ))
Omega19x: (so wtf, man.)
Omega19x: "I just want you to be better."
Omega19x: "...and to spend every moment with you, so you'll always be better..."
ph33r my rod: *hugs Ryou again, resting his chin on his shoulder* "That's right... I'm getting better, you're getting better, so... as long as we're together, neither of us will really be hurt."
Omega19x: "... and... and if we are... there's... there's always the other one... to help us feel better again."
Omega19x: "like I do for you, and you do for me..."
ph33r my rod: (( >_o My cat almost bit my finger off when I gave her a piece of chicken, wtf. XD ))
Omega19x: *runs finger down Malik's face*
Omega19x: (dude, this is a wtf day.)
ph33r my rod: (( Totally. XD ))
ph33r my rod: *pulls back and looks at Ryou, smiling*
ph33r my rod: "... As long as we have each other, then everything's okay."
Omega19x: *nodnod*
Omega19x: *hug*
ph33r my rod: *gently kisses his cheek*
Omega19x: *little blush*
Omega19x: *kisses him back*
ph33r my rod: (( XDDDD Seto and Isis are having a serious conversation in Starbucks, and he's sitting there trying not to look at her boobs. ))
Omega19x: (rofl)
Omega19x: (that's great.)
ph33r my rod: (( XD Yeah. ))
Omega19x: (at least they don't jiggle and wiggle as much as the other self's boobies)
ph33r my rod: (( Nope. Mainly because she doesn't try to move them. :X ))
ph33r my rod: *buries his face in the crook of Ryou's neck* "...love you, Ryou."
Omega19x: "... me too..."
ph33r my rod: *softly kisses Ryou's neck, then lifts his head again* "...I think I'm gonna go upstairs now."
Omega19x: "...okay..."
ph33r my rod: *lets go of Ryou and slowly stands up, using the couch for balance*
Omega19x: "... careful..."
ph33r my rod: *starts to put some weight on his injured leg, but winces and grabs his crutch instead* "I'm going to be so glad when this is completely healed."
Omega19x: "... oh, of course..."
ph33r my rod: *makes his way toward the stairs, looks back over at him* "You coming too, or are you staying down here for a while?"
Omega19x: "... oh... yeah. I think I'll come too. Sorry, my mind was... wandering."
ph33r my rod: *eyes him* "...you okay?"
Omega19x: "Yeah. I guess I was just thinking."
ph33r my rod: *blinks, then nods and starts up the stairs* "...alright."
Omega19x: *follows*
ph33r my rod: *sits down on his bed, sighing a little*
Omega19x: "... you okay?"
ph33r my rod: "Yeah. Just tired..."
Omega19x: "you should rest."
Omega19x: "it's been a big weekend... and you've had a lot to do..."
ph33r my rod: *nods, stretching his arm out some* "Will you stay with me?"
Omega19x: "... okay..." *climbs into the bed as well*
ph33r my rod: *snuggles down under the covers* "...I did have fun this weekend, though. I'm not going to let a messed-up leg prevent me from doing things with you."
Omega19x: *smiles*
Omega19x: "... sleep tight, Malik..."
ph33r my rod: *pulls Ryou into his arms, gently kissing his forehead* "You too..."
Omega19x: *smiles and yawns*
Omega19x: *cuddle*
ph33r my rod: *nuzzles in Ryou's hair, soon falling asleep*
