October 4 – Back to Normal

After my outing to Al Anon, I was confined to bed by Robin so that I could fully recuperate. I like her playing nurse maid. She’s a pretty good doctor, too. Hah, she’d kill me if I said that aloud. Earlier, Robin left me at home and I felt better so I went to work. Why not? I’m not contagious and I don’t have a fever. Little did I know that Robin would try to pull rank. She checked the on-call room for me to take a “nap.” A nap? Me? Patrick Drake taking a nap? I don’t do naps and Robin has got to quite coddling me. I did enjoy the back rub though. She has amazing hands.

She’s also a hard act to follow. I’m fine and I need people to know that. Just because I’ve had this HIV scare doesn’t mean that I’m any different than before, I’m as healthy as a horse, but Robin worries. I have to admit I like it when she’s all soft and caring. In fact, I was about to show her how much when Lorenzo Alcazar showed up at the hospital to threaten Robin because of something to do with her father. As if Robert hasn’t caused Robin enough pain over the years, now he’s pissed off an international arms dealer who believes in “an eye for an eye”. I don’t like it and I was about to tell Mr. Alcazar so when Robin cut me off. She stood up to Alcazar, but I could tell she was concerned. She told me she was glad I was there and so was I.

Later, as if threats and coddling weren’t enough, Luke called me to get a second opinion on Dr. Legrasse’s treatment for Laura. Robin got wind of it and cut off the conversation. I don’t why she can’t just look at the facts. It’s likely that Laura will get worse, not better. Robin has got to know that the odds aren’t good. I know that Robin’s a miracle, but in my professional opinion Laura Spencer won’t be. The fact that Robin is so adamant about this treatment for Laura says she’s way too attached to this case. It’s personal and that’s never good. I just don’t want her hurt, so we argued as we always do about patient care. She called Luke to “undo the damage I’d done” and then I don’t know what happened. One minute we’re arguing, the next we’re making plans to go out for Chinese. I’m not sure what it means.
