Dave woke up from a long night's sleep. He was going to be discharged today, finally escaping the hospital with its bland decor and even blander food.
After he ate his last not so tasty but oh so nutritious hospital meal, the nurse told Dave that he had visitors. But before he could be discharged they needed to change his bandages.
The nurse removed the old bandages, revealing the pink colored skin underneath them. Then she applied new, less bulky, dressings to his hands and leg.
Dave moved his right hand and checked the dexterity of his fingers, finding the movements much more comfortable and more importantly, not painful.
His leg was also in great shape, he could even wiggle his toes without feeling any discomfort.
Dave put his clothes on and stood up. He walked around the private room finding it easy to move. His limp was gone, he was back to normal. Smiling Dave left the room to meet the visitors.
