You feel Nick's breathing slowly coming down and you know that the pain is not as intense anymore. But you know that the worse is yet to come. If he keeps the leg still then the pain will be minimal but if he stands or move the leg, he will feel extreme pain. It does not matter how you look at it, he will have pain whether the pain is slight or severe, either way, he will have a constant discomfort.
It is important to keep Nick calm right now. You need to do everything you can to let him rest. You lay with your head on his chest while caressing him with your hand, just lightly stroking all over his body.
Then you hear a soft moan escaping his mouth.
"Mmm... That is so nice, doc..."
You smile against his chest and you know that what you are doing is working. You feel his heart rate calming down more. You close your eyes and then you feel yourself slowly drifting away.
