...And then I awoke!
But not in the same bed as I had been in!
this one was in a definitely medical recovery unit and I figured they had brought me here while I was asleep and I felt a sort of gratitude that they hadn't awakened me.
I was alone and I had an overpowering urge to pee, so I tried to sit up, only to find that I was strapped firmly in place! "Hey!" I yelped. "I gotta pee!"
"Oh dear then are we awake?" a soft melodious voice answered me.
Yeah we are awake," I snapped peevishly, "but I still gotta pee!"
... She laughed throatily. "Well I must say, you are in excellent spirits after your ordeal."
"Ordeal?" Suddenly I felt a chill. "What ordeal?'
"Why your surgery and your recovery," she chirped brightly.
"Surgery? You mean you worked on me while I was asleep?"
"In a manner of speaking, yes."
"What did you do? I don't feel any different."
"Good then our efforts were entirely successful!"
I was getting tired of this cheerful banter, "Just what did you do?" I demanded.
