"You should lay down on the bed, daddy," it's an ER room, so it's walls are curtains and there is a bed in the center of the room. One of those things on wheels that can move up and down with a touch of a button. It's not really very comfortable but he must be exhausted and it will give him a chance to lay down and stretch his legs out. He needs to get a little sleep, it would be silly to get all patched up just to have him fall asleep at the wheel and send them into a tree. Though it would solve this whole marriage thing pretty nicely.
She is being led out of the room anyway by the nurse and taken down the hallway to the room where they take the x-rays. All decked out in a fancy lead vest the nurse positions her arm and hand carefully and then adjusts the camera with the help of the x-ray technician. They tell her to stand still, not to move a muscle and then go behind a plexiglass wall in order to take the picture. A few more, just at different angles and Salome is pretty sure that she might not be able to move when they are done. Her muscles feel like jelly and her head is slowly starting to take on that swimming quality that drives away all unpleasant thoughts.
When the x-rays are done, she gets wheeled back into the room she was in before. They better figure out what is wrong with her hand soon, all she wants to do is go home and go to sleep.
