You (Part the Forty-Sixth)
The next day, Dana finally bit the bullet and decided that she needed more help with her shoulder than the morphine could give. She woke up early, fed Socks, and called Dr. Shapiro before Alice was awake. The doctor suggested more physical therapy, which Dana had been expecting. This time, he wanted it spread out a little more between sessions, which Dana considered a good plan. He also insisted that such setbacks were quite normal during recovery and that Dana had done nothing wrong.
Feeling strangely comforted by the paternal tone of the doctor’s voice, Dana crawled back into bed, hoping to catch another hour or so before she went to meet with the physical therapist. As soon as she had the blankets pulled back up, Alice’s arm wrapped around her. “You okay?” Alice asked sleepily, kissing her shoulder.
“Yeah. I just called Dr. Shapiro.”
“What?” Alice asked, waking up quickly.
“It’s okay, I just wanted to see about going back to physical therapy for awhile. I don’t think my shoulder’s good on its own yet,” Dana admitted quietly. Alice didn’t respond for a minute, just tightened her hold and sighed.
“It doesn’t have to be,” Alice said finally. “I think if you take your time it’ll be a lot less painful anyway.”
“Yeah,” Dana replied. “He said he’d set something up for this afternoon.”
“Okay. Just tell me when and I’ll take you over, all right?”
“Yeah…wait. Aren’t you going to lunch with Tina?” Dana asked. As badly as her arm was hurting and as much as she didn’t want to drive over, the last thing Dana wanted to do was force Alice to cancel her plans.
“Yeah, but it’s Tina. She’s not gonna be upset that I’m taking you to an appointment, Dana. Besides, we’re meeting at noon, it’s not going to take us all day to have lunch and talk a little. I just want to catch up with her a little, that’s all. And after that I’m free all day anyway. I’ve got my script done for the Chart tomorrow and everything.” Dana still looked a little dubious. “I’ll tell ya what, I’ll call you when we’re getting ready to leave, okay? Really, baby, you won’t bother us. Hell, if you want to come with I’m sure Tina would love to see you.”

MT, you are good!!! Love a wise & caring Alice. The conversation w/ Tina and her comments on the radio showed the best of Alice. Nice touch also with Ruth. Love seeing Dana being with the kids. Is there one in the making for them? I suppose they have to get marrried first. Like I said before, your writing style and story line are way better than the show. Again I truly emjoyed reading this chapter. pps
Two more thoughts. 1st, Al to T, “…let bygones be bygones. Life’s way too short, okay? Trust me on that one.” Isn’t it the truth? We all should remind ourselves often. 2nd, Danish loving is always welcome especially when D is slowly getting back her health. You have A being so loving, caring and thoughtful to Dana. And Dana always reciprocated in her own way. That’s exactly why Danish should live forever.
hey girl, it’s good to be back and be able to read your story again. I’m back since 2 days and read all your updates! Great as always, I love socks btw. Great addition. I also liked Alice’s conversation with Tina. It sounded very real and just like something that would have been something good and much needed on the show. Loved all your updates! :) ps.: Are you still single btw? With a talent like this, it’s just so hard to imagine you know..
You’re right MT, I think your Danish is the archetype of a relationship!!! (I just hope my boyfriend doesn’t read this, he’d freak out!!!;)Loved Alice`s argument about the positivism, not just in health issues. It`s time for Dana to start believing in herself and just go beyond what’s expected!Thanks again MT; reading your stuff makes my working summer a bit better…So…pps!
As always, very well done. I quite like having my weekend end with a little Danish! Nice to see Alice and Tina interact once again and I really liked Alice’s radio commentary. I could almost hear it in my head. Ok we know I’m a little nuts but it was very well done. Dana having time with the kids and sleeping with the Angie was really sweet. Kudos!
Hey, you changed the last scene changed a bit. It was still great though. :) And one of these two or the two of them together in combination with Socks and children aretoo cute! As long as you keep writing them like this, I keep believing a relationship like this is possible in real life. Please, don’t burst my bubble! ;)
Amen to that hail_danalice! :)
Thank you, MT! At the risk of repeating myself… Another excellent chapter! Loved the talk with Alice and Tina and all the Danish moments. Looks like Dana has made another advance in her recovery by admitting she is hurt and needs some help. The relationship you have written for Danish is so sweet and supportive. PPS!
loved it! i cant believe i didnt comment on your last chapter, but i totally read it and loved it too. okay so wii tennis is, possibly the most addicting thing ever, and im such a dork that when i read that you had dana playing it, i suddenly got worried that she would get hurt. see, after the first few times i played it i developed something i like to call “wii elbow”, which can be defined as intense pain in one’s wii-playing arm from being such an absolute spaz when playing wii tennis. anyway, can’t wait for your next update!
So pleasantly suprised to see this Update…Awesome as always…They have an awesome relationship, as they should, as we all should…Just wondering will there be any Gabby Devaux angst to stir the pot, I don’t know why, but I think it would be nice for Dana to put her in her place…Loved the convo with Tina, Loved Dana and the kids and of course her and Angie! I’m babbling, Once again Great Update! PPS
