After leaving the hospital. We headed to the pharmacy to pick up Lena's prescription, Dr. Garland informed us
Lena might be sore for a few days
That's why she prescribed her pain meds, Lena cried like a baby when they did the biopsy. I held her hand through the procedure, the doctor told me to look out for possible reactions from biopsy fevers, swelling and tenderness at the incision site
Right now Lena isn't complaining about any pain. Which is a good sign
Where in the car driving to CVS, l suggested that we go out to lunch
Lena happily agreed, deep down inside. I know she didn't feel like going out, but Lena wants to us to resume our normal routine. I'm gonna be there for her no matter what, we pulled up to the drive thru window to pickup her medicine
I gave the pharmacist her name and date of birth. He types the information in the computer, l seat and wait patiently. Till he comes back to the window, the young man finally comes back. And explains the side effects, l just nod my head as he talks
And then he tells me how much
It costs. Twenty five dollars for ten pills, l say to myself. Even though Lena has health insurance, I hand him exactly a twenty and five
Lena has fallen asleep once again
I'm thinking we should dine in instead of going out. I start the car back up, and drive off heading back on the main road. Where going to trader Joe's, they have a variety of soups and sandwiches. Lena needs to some nourishment in her body, l know she doesn't have an appetite
I pulled up to the restaurant and turned off the car, leaving Lena inside
I let the windows down a little so she could have some fresh air. I take my keys out the engine and head inside to order our food, l look up at the menu selections on the wall. I ordered Lena a large vegetable soup and a veggie sub on a wheat roll, with lettuce and tomatoes. For myself l get a medium cream and broccoli soup, roasted chicken breast sandwich on a kaiser roll, l swiped my card after she gave me my total. The girl gives me my receipt, l go stand by the door and see Lena still asleep. I hear somebody call out my name, l turned around and l'm standing face to face with Summer
Who l haven't seen since Alicia's trial
She tells me she relocating to Los Angeles and she's attending the university of LA. Because she faced a lot of back lash from her sexual relationship with Alicia, l'm really happy for you Summer you were able to get your life back on track Stef says to Summer. Then she thanks for speaking on her behalf on the witness stand in court, my number is called out. I head up to the counter and get my order, l check inside to make sure
Everything is correct before leaving
This was the last place I was expecting to run into Summer
I head out and walk towards my car
And unlock the door. then got in
Started up the ignition and drove off
Where heading back to the house,
We driving back to San Diego later on
There was no rush to get back. Nyla and Braylon are with their grandparents, Kathleen text me and told me that she dropped them off an hour ago.
