A New Start in Life Part 30
After the group hug we all went it to see Kelly, she was still wired up
to the monitors, her breathing being done by a ventilator though later
today they were going to see if she could breathe for herself.
Liquids were being give by drips though she looked pallid there was some
colour to her she wasn't that ghastly white/grey colour she had been
last time we had seen her.
We decided that we were not going to leave Kelly alone so to this end we
organised ourselves into pairs of us doing 8 hours at a time with Kell.
So to this end I was sent to find a campsite close to the hospital. My
first place was the hospital reception where I found out that the
nearest campsite was 3 miles away.
They must have seen the disappointment in my face because they then told
me that there was accommodation available at the hospital - for a price!
This was an emergency and 3 miles was too far to travel so I thought sod
it I have the money available from Thailand as I was not now getting my
operation done - yet; so I'll use that so we could be close as possible
to Kelly.
I explained that there were four of us and I ended up with an ensuit,
which could accommodate up to 4 people and consisted of 2 bedrooms,
toilet/shower facilities, small lounge/dining area with television. It
also had refrigerator, microwave, kettle and toaster.
There was a kitchen on each level so we could cook there. Also Kelly's
mum and Dad could use it when they arrived which should be tomorrow.
So absolutely chuffed with myself I went back to the girls and told them
what I had arranged and promptly got told off for paying for it on my
credit card!
I told them that I thought I was doing the right thing as we were not
going to Thailand now and got a little weepy as everything was getting
on to of me.
I think the girls realized that I was a bit hyper so we compromised a
little with the others paying for our food.
We decided that Shonali and Ceri would be together and Charley and I. So
as Charley and I had got some sleep on the coach while Ceri and Shoni
had only cat napped we sent them off to get some 'proper' sleep telling
them not to rush we could start our time off when they had had enough
sleep.
So we settled down keeping our vigil over our friend. Later that day we
got shooed away while they removed the tubes that were breathing for
her. There were a few heart stopping moments when she either didn't
breathe of coughed and choked finally after an hour or so the doctor was
happy and we could return to the bedside.
Kelly was breathing by herself, which was a great leap forward. We sat
next to her talking away just like she was with us we chatted away about
everything and anything.
After nearly 12 hours Ceri and Shoni came to relieve us they explained
that they had been so long because they had been shopping and there was
a salad and fruit waiting for us in the fridge.
This was very thoughtful of them. They also told us that as Kell's mum
and dad would soon be here they were using one of the two bedrooms and
using their sleeping bags this would leave the other bedroom free for
Kelly's mum and dad.
When we arrived back at the ward Kelly's mum and dad were there I hugged
Kell's mum exclaiming, "I'm so sorry Mrs. Jackson it's all my fault I
was the one who suggested the stop over." Shonali snapped at me,
"Susanna Emma Johnson will you please shut up about it being your fault.
WE all decided as we have always done. This was nothing but a tragic
accident."
"But," I started to say when Kelly's mum stopped me. "Look child it was
an accident no ones fault and I thought I told you to call me mum!"
Just then Charley who was at the bed close to Kelly shouted, "Guy's be
quiet I think Kelly's trying to say something." This got all our
attention and we turned to the bed.
Charley was leant over Kell her ear close to Kelly's mouth. We could see
Kelly's lips moving but not make anything out. Then Charley grinned
broadly and she said, "Ok Kell word for word!" a slight nod from Kelly -
this was the most movement we had seen since the accident.
Charley looked at us all then focused on me and said, "A message from
Kell to Susie." I simply looked as Charley carried on, "Kell said will
you please stop being such a stupid cow! You didn't bite me the bloody
snake did!"
My hand shot to my mouth and I gasped, "She said all that?" Charley
grinned and admitted; "Well no she said the first bit I finished it off
for her! So are you going to stop beating yourself up?"
A bit sheepishly I nodded and mumbled, "OK I promise" Charley was not
letting me off that easy saying, "Speak up Susanna Kelly can't hear
you!" I glared at Charley but as usual it was like water off a ducks
back. So I repeated myself in a louder voice and was rewarded by a
slight smile from Kelly who so far had not opened her eyes.
Kelly's mum said, "I take it that this is your friend Charley?" Shoni
answered for us all saying, "Yes this is Charley Willis our best'est
friend" the niceties over Kell's dad gave an enormous yawn reminding us
that they had just travelled from the UK and must be totally shattered.
We told them about the room we had and that one bedroom was theirs we
also told them that one of us is always with Kelly so if they wanted to
they could try and get some sleep.
They were a bit reluctant to leave Kelly but once again Charley's level
headedness came into play she said, "Look Mrs. Jackson You'll be no good
to Kelly if you are out of it, if anything changes we'll get you here
please get some sleep."
Kelly's mum looked at us with tears in her eyes and simply said, "You
are all good girls our Kelly's lucky to have friends as good as you
four." Then Shonali and Ceri showed them to the place we called home for
the time being.
While Charley and I sat with the now sleeping Kelly. "Susie" Charley
said, "What's the UK like this time of the year?"
I smiled telling her, "Well the end of September is usually nice, then
things go downhill and it rains then if you're lucky it freezes and
snows."
"Oh" she commented, "And if you aint lucky?" I gave her a broad grin and
answered, "It just carries on raining and half the country floods -
why?"
Charley smiled ruefully and said, "Well I have a feeling our trip is
over and I was wondering if you guy's would mind if I tagged along when
you go home?"
This time when I smiled it was with genuine affection. "Charley," I
exclaimed of course you can! You can stay with the rest of us at the
flat" There was movement from Kelly we looked and she was looking at us
gravely.
"Oh Kelly," I exclaimed, "We've been so worried about you!" she gave a
wan smile and croaked, "I've been worried about me - where am I?"
Charley went to get a nurse while I told Kelly where she was and when it
was she was amazed that it had been nearly a week since she had been
bitten.
A nurse arrived and checked Kelly out, gave her some water then looking
at us told us, "I think the worst is over but she's still one very sick
girl."
As she made to leave she instructed us, "If Kelly asks for water give
her small sips not a lot at once - OK?" We nodded our understanding then
turned our attention to Kelly.
Kelly asked, "I thought I heard mum and dad?" we told her that they had
just arrived and were asleep but we could fetch them if she wanted to
see them.
She croaked, "No Susie let them sleep. I'll only get told off for being
so clumsy and treading on a snake." There was nothing wrong with her
sense of humor at least.
We were talking - well Charley and I were doing most of the talking with
poor Kelly listening and croaking the odd response. After about half an
hour we could see she was tired so we gave her a sip of water and let
her sleep.
The two of us simply sat by her bedside grinning at each other like
idiots because our friend was improving.
We decided to give Kelly's mum and dad a few more hours sleep then wake
them with the news that their daughter was awake and talking.
While Kelly slept Charley and I discussed us going home. I could see
that Charley was despondent and by now she was a really god friend and a
great person being down was so unlike her.
Eventually I asked, "Charley why so down?" Charley looked at me giving
me that wry grin she does answering, "Well Susie since meeting you guys
with your outlook on life I feel I fit in and it's going to be hard
leaving the three of you."
"Then don't" both of us looked around and saw Kelly was awake looking at
us. "Huh" I snorted, "Eaves dropping again!"
Kell gave a wan smile answering, "It's my bed you two are talking over -
so I'm not eaves dropping." Even this short sentence had taken some
effort.
So I took over saying, "Look Charley you don't have to leave us if you
don't want to, our flat is really big enough and we have a spare room we
just have to get it decorated for you."
"It's your flat not our flat" Kelly butted in. "Kelly Jackson how many
times have I told you it's our flat!" I informed her.
I continued, "Look Charley come to England and see how you like it. If
you want to stay that'd be great with us - wouldn't it Kell?" I looked
around but she was asleep.
Charley still looked doubtful saying, "I'd love to guys but I like
paying my way I don't want to be a free loader."
This made me snort so I answered, "Charley you're our friend we'd love
having you. But how's this for an idea you come to the UK on a visitors
visa."
She nodded saying, "That sounds good to me - but what if I want to
work?" I had all this planned out in my head but just how feasible it
was I hadn't a clue.
So I suggested, "Look your collage degree is in media studies - right?"
She nodded so I carried on, "Well there is a huge media centre opened up
close by where I live surely there must be a opening for a smart
American girl with a relevant degree?"
I was excited but I didn't know if this was possible visa wise. Charley
said, "It sounds a good idea, but I've no smart clothes and what happens
with the visa?"
Just then a voice from the pillow spoke - Kell was awake again, "You and
Susie are the same size and she has more clothes than Top Shop (a well
known UK store) share until you get some money - simple!"
Triumphantly I looked at Charley and said, "Sorted right I'll go and
wake Kelly's mum and dad." Kelly groaned and said wearily, "Well I
suppose I've got to get my bollocking over sometime. At least they'll go
easy on me"
After this Kelly made a rapid recovery though she was still very weak
but the hospital would not let Kelly go home in case of serum sickness,
which can occur up to 14 days. About nine days Kelly developed a fever
a wonderful full body rash and aching joints as the hospital told us
they were watching for any signs of renal impairment.
So we had to watch her suffer throughout this luckily she showed no
signs of renal problems.
Meanwhile we were arranging flights back to the UK and organizing
Charley's visa for visiting the UK. Which when we looked into it as she
was visiting friends she didn't need one - but if she decided to work
she would have to go through the hoop's of officialdom!
The steroids that were used to treat the serum sickness worked well but
Kelly was still weak and her muscles really hurt.
This was due to the action of the venom and while weakness would be
there for some time the prognosis was good.
Ceri's mum and dad came to visit periodically but it was obvious to us
all our trip was over, to help with their travel we all gave them our
travel passes with what was left of the Kilometers.
Finally a month after the accident Kelly was given the all clear to
travel. She could go on a 'normal' flight as long as she had someone
with her that was medically trained - the insurance we had took care of
this.
So we trawled around the websites until we all could travel together (us
4; plus Kelly's mum and dad; plus a nurse!)
At Adelaide airport we said a tearful goodbye to Ceri and her mum and
dad. Ceri had become a really good friend and we all would miss her.
Kelly joked that we'd come back to Aus. And finish our trip missing out
the snake.
Ceri also promised to come to the UK to see us.
A final group hug and we were ready for boarding Ceri hugged me and
whispered let me know how your operation goes. And with that we trooped
through security to board our flight.
I think we were a bit down our adventure of a lifetime had been cut
short. But and here's the main thing I had a feeling that the rest of
the girls felt like me and deep down inside was ready to go home.
All except Charley who apart from he aging aunt in Chicago had no one -
we were her family and she was part of our family.
The flight was well a flight as we approached the UK the sky's below
turned leaden and yes you guessed it when we landed in Manchester it was
pouring down and cold and windy. "Welcome to the UK" I joked to Charley.
"Gee thanks" she ironically replied, "Is it always like this?"
"Oh no it changes completely in the summer." I told her. Shonali
grunted, "Yep Susie's right in summer the rain's warmer!"
We got through immigrations - it took Charley a bit longer but soon we
were reunited with out backpacks frantically looting them looking for
something warmer to put on.
Kelly was destined to go home to recover, Shonali not having seen her
family in over a year got a lift with them back to Leeds while Charlie
and myself headed for my apartment. Kelly's mum told us that as soon as
we had got ourselves sorted to head across to Leeds and stay with them
for a while. An invitation we certainly could not refuse.
The nurse that travelled with Kelly headed for a hotel to get some sleep
then she was flying back tomorrow - so we said our goodbyes to her
We got a cab and soon we were at the apartment block Charley looked at
it and gave a low whistle, "Looks a nice place Susie." I smiled warmly
at her saying we like it and don't forget it's your home for as long as
you need it, I'll give you a set of keys and the security pass once we
get warmed up.
When we got to the flat Charley was well impressed I showed her which
would be her bedroom and told her to decide how she wanted it as I would
organize it to be decorated.
I showed her Kelly and Shonali's rooms then mine did the whistle stop
tour of the place including the balcony and sun deck then we made up my
bed with clean fresh linen and slept for 24 hours snuggled up together.
The next day I opened my extensive wardrobe and told Charley anything I
have you are welcome to use please don't feel stiff or uncomfortable
you'll soon get some clothes more suitable to the British weather.
We dressed in jeans and warm woolen tops. Heading for the kitchen we
found that we had - nothing at all in even the fridge and freezer were
turned off!
Again we emptied our backpacks and found some tea bags some coffee and
our emergency food rations that we had packed over a year ago. Four of
these were porridge, which you simply added water to. So to fill us we
had 2 packs each along with coffee and tea without milk!
Just then my phone rang I knew the ring it was Shonali. "Hi Shoni" I
answered brightly "we've just woken up." A very distraught Shonali
answered, "Is it ok for me to come home for a couple of days?" This
caught me unawares because she was at home so rather stupidly I
answered, "Eh you're at home."
"Susanna Johnson" she snapped "I mean home with you before I kill that
sniveling bastard coward of a brother of mine!" Whoa she was in a temper
so I said, "Ok, ok you know you can but what's up?"
"I'll tell you when I get home" came the terse reply. "Look Shoni we're
going shopping do you want us to meet you at Piccadilly?" I asked. She
thought for a second and answered, "That'd be great I'll phone when I
set off - ok."
I recounted my conversation with Shoni to Charley then we got ready to
get some food in and do a big online order for delivery. We went into
the bedroom I said to Charley "Shoes and boots in there, handbags above
them, jackets coats scarfs and hats it here. Help yourself to makeup
jewelry and perfume." Charley grinned and threw up a mock salute saying,
"Yes sir Ma'am!"
Soon we were ready for Charley's exciting introduction to the UK! Which
was shopping at the local Asda superstore!
We each took a trolley and absolutely piled it with everything we needed
from toilet rolls to tampons, tea bags to chocolate this was important
as with the mood Shonali was in it could take a lot of chocolate to
settle her down.
To get this lot back to the flat took a taxi we had just got the
perishables stowed away and the wine in the wine cooler when my phone
rang it was a text from Shoni saying she would be arriving at two pm.
So off we set again on the tram to the station Charley was taking all
this in her stride like she had been here all her life as we got off at
the station she asked, "Is it ok to do some shopping while we're in the
city?"
"Of course Charley you're a free agent do what you want." She smiled her
thanks and set off saying, "Give me a call so we can meet up when Shoni
arrives." I nodded and pointed her in the direction of the main shopping
area.
While I made my way to the station to collect a very irate Shonali
wondering what her brother had done to her.
I stood waiting thinking about my next move I would have to see Jill
Harvey and of course my surgeon Dr. Kendrick as now I was clear in my
own mind I needed to discuss my surgery.
I spied Shonali coming down the platform and waved her face seemed to
light up when she saw me. Once through the barrier we hugged and greeted
each other.
Instantly she asked me, "Has that bastard of a brother of mine phoned
you?" I was a bit puzzled so I shook my head saying. "No why?"
"Oh Susanna" she wailed "He's no gut's he promised he was going to phone
and tell you!" By now I was totally bewildered and Shonali was totally
freaked out for some reason.
"Shonali" I begged, "For god's sake calm down - look I'll phone him!" as
I spoke I took out my iphone. "B, b, but are you sure! I mean do you
want to?" I was starting to get a bit annoyed as I found Gill's name in
my contact list I said, "Look Shoni you're not telling me what Gill's
done. So he better tell me what he's done to get you so worked up." I
pressed the call button and waited I had a good idea that Gill had found
someone else but I needed it confirming - I wasn't really worried either
way but my friend was really upset.
As he answered I decided to take the bull by the horns and ask the worst
question possible and really put him on the spot.
"Hi Gill how are you? And before you speak when are you getting
married?" This had some effect at both ends of the phone. Shonali gasped
looking at me with her mouth hung open.
While Gill descended into a coughing fit followed by hiccups. Finally he
could talk and asked me, "I take it that cow of a sister of mine
couldn't wait to tell you?"
This annoyed me so I answered, "Shoni hasn't said a thing I guessed -
and please don't call my friend and your sister names!" I glanced at
Shoni and continued, "Shonali please close your mouth!" (it snapped
closed).
Gill told me that he hadn't meant to meet someone else (as it I was
interested) but it just happened.
In the end I had heard as much as I wanted to and was really cool with
the outcome so I simply said, "Look Gill we are freezing on Manchester
station, I wish you and your fianc?e all the best for the future. Oh and
don't forget my invite for the wedding." And with that I ended the call
Shonali was looking at me amazed and managed to say, "You don't mind
Susie? You honestly don't mind!"
I smiled wearily at her and hugged her close saying, "Shonali I honestly
don't mind! What I do mind is that he didn't have the gut's to tell me.
I mind that you are upset. And I mind that I am absolutely freezing
stood here! So let's phone Charley and join her shopping - OK"
She returned my hug saying, "I'll never understand you Susie but I love
you." So with that we phoned Charley and arranged to meet her in a caf?
close to where she was shopping - sounds easy until you remember that
Charley had been in Manchester for a day and most of that we were asleep
but eventually we got a street name and the name of the caf? and the
three of us were reunited.
