Part 23
Jeff McQuaid: pov that also sounds like a good idea. Hey I was thinking of learning how to scuba dive, any recommendations or advice. I know you are certified from your military days.
Ryan McQuaid: pov make sure you find a legit place to learn and to practice with flippers and goggles in your spare time.
Jeff McQuaid: pov any plans on teaching Annie how to scuba dive or does she already know how to.
Ryan McQuaid: pov I have no idea if she knows how but even if she didn't I don't think she would be able to. You can't have certain pre-existing conditions when scuba diving; it's not safe.
Jeff McQuaid: pov had no idea about that. if you don't mind me asking how did you and Annie meet.
Ryan McQuaid: pov she was working on something and our paths crossed as soon as i met her i wanted to know more about her she was very secretive at the time.
Jeff McQuaid: pov is that when you found out she had health issues.
Ryan McQuaid: pov no, are paths crossed again while she was on a work trip. I was on a boat and noticed her on shore fall to the ground. I quickly called a Dr I know in the area who met me at my safe house. He was confused about what he was treating her for at first but then Annie woke up and told him she has Myocarditis, he gave her some meds since she didn't have any due to an earlier encounter me and her had with a police officer.
Jeff McQuaid: pov wow that must have been scary to witness after everything that happened to your first wife.
Ryan McQuaid: pov it was, but it also made me want to make sure she was safe. After that we became closer.
Jeff McQuaid: pov I can see you really love her.
Ryan McQuaid: pov I do.
Jeff McQuaid: pov do you ever wonder if you're repeating history by dating Annie because she has health issues and so did Kelly.
Ryan McQuaid: pov you do have a point, I never noticed it before. Me and Kelly had our life planned out, then she got sick. With Annie I thought she was cute and wanted to get to know her, then she revealed she had medical issues and I just wanted to learn everything I could about it to make sure Annie was okay, her condition is dangerous if left untreated it can cause damage.
Jeff McQuaid: pov the way I see it Kelly lost her battle with cancer and I think with Annie having a medical condition you are trying to make up for Kelly's death by making sure Annie is well taken care of health wise.
Ryan McQuaid: pov you might be right in a way.
Jeff McQuaid: pov By the way what did the Dr say, will this cause any long term issues.
Ryan McQuaid: pov besides the valve damage from her Myocarditis which will need fixing at some point, they think Annie will need a little physical therapy since she was off her feet for a bit and possibly speech therapy. I order the steak and lobster while Jeff orders the ribs with fries.
Jeff McQuaid: pov she has valve damage?
Ryan McQuaid: pov Yeah, they are keeping an eye on it making sure it doesn't get worse.
Jeff McQuaid: pov what happens if it gets worse.
Ryan McQuaid: pov they most likely would replace it instead of repair it.
Jeff McQuaid: pov is there a difference between how they would go in to fix a valve or replace it.
Ryan McQuaid: pov i’v looked it up, it's pretty much the same surgery just instead of fixing the valve it would be replaced, there is a risk that with the valve being replaced the body might regret the new valve.
Jeff McQuaid: pov that does not sound fun at all.
Ryan McQuaid: pov it's not, that would mean more complications and possibly more surgeries.
Jeff McQuaid: pov with her possibly needing surgery that must be scary especially for her.
Ryan McQuaid: pov definitely, plus she doesn't want to have another surgery.
Jeff McQuaid: pov wait, she's had surgery before?
Ryan McQuaid: pov yes.
Jeff McQuaid: pov where did she have surgery before?
Ryan McQuaid: pov on her heart, she had severe chest trauma from a shooting her and her then boyfriend who died were making dinner when a woman snuck in and shot them. Annie had 2 bullets in her chest and her boyfriend died. The lady snuck out the back door so it would look like Annie shot Simon. At the hospital after the emergency surgery, the woman who shot them snuck in as a Dr and tried to kill Annie by putting a pillow over her mouth. They had to use the paddles on her.
Jeff McQuaid: pov that's insane did they ever catch the woman.
Ryan McQuaid: pov she's dead didn't want to surrender.
Jeff McQuaid: pov I guess she deserves it but definitely an easy way out. Doesn't have to sit in jail after she caused all of this, Annie must have flashbacks or ptsd from it.
Ryan McQuaid: pov I have no idea she has never mentioned it to me and neither has Joan.
Jeff McQuaid: pov after a few minutes our food arrives and it looks amazing
Joan: pov looks like Annie is up now, hey how are you feeling. Her cheeks look a little splotchy.
Annie walker: pov y rm urts, t’s ill umb nd m chy, ere yan.
Joan: pov he left to hang out with his brother, Ryan didn't want to bother you since you were asleep. I think she said her arm hurts, it's still numb and she is itchy. I have to hit the nurses button in case she has to pee. Do you have to pee?
Annie walker: pov es.
Nurse Judy: pov you hit the button for me.
Joan: pov yes Annie's arm hurts and she said she is itchy plus she has to pee.
Nurse Judy: pov okay let's get you to the bathroom, I'm going to have to help you pull your pants down and wipe. I tell Joan to push the IV stand while I help Annie up, we carefully walk to the bathroom. To be continued. …………
