The doctor walked in the room and sat down in front of Roman. He took a deep breath before speaking. "She lost a lot of blood from when she cut her head open, which is why she went into hemorrhagic shock. It was over 40%, but we also seen some internal bleeding in her abdomen area, we took care of it though. Mild concussion. However she did shatter her kneecap from the floor, due to her falling forward and catching the end of the table, Luciana fell directly on it, plus the problems with that same knee before. Surgery went well. We cleaned the surface of the bone during surgery, but our concerns right now is her patellar bones."

Roman rubbed his face, "What.. What about them?"

"Luciana's patellar bones are now fractured, and from what we seen, they were not close together. Even though we did the surgery, she probably will have some difficulty healing." The doctor elaborated.

"She'll be on medication after the surgery right?" Roman cleared his throat, his nerves getting the best of him.

"Yes." The doctor nodded. "Opioids."

"Opioids? Don't people overdose on those often? Doc..She.. She has a history of overdosing, so can, can we watch the amount you're putting her on?" He stuttered. "P-please. I can't lose her."

"Of course, once the pain is bearable for her, we'll take her off it right away. Don't worry Roman, we'll monitor the amount, but remember it depends on how much pain she is in after it wares off when she wakes up. She'll be in a cast for awhile, once she wakes up she'll be sensitive to the light because of the head injury. But other than that, her recovery will be from six to eight weeks. We'll talk about weight bearing when she wakes up." The doctor stood up and walked to the door. "She was really lucky Roman. I watched the way she fell, it could've gone a completely different way."

"Thank you." Roman said. The doctor nodded and walked out. His eyes began to water up, burying his face in his hands.

"Hey.." Dean, Seth, Brie, and Nikki walked in.

"We saw the doctor walk out." Dean said. "How you doing man?"

Roman just shook his head, unable to speak. They all gathered in a group hug, holding Roman. All you could hear was his weeps and sniffs.

"The doctor said she um will have a hard time healing cause the patellar bones weren't close together once they shattered.. And they're putting her on opioids." Roman finally spoke.

"They'll watch the amount right?" Brie asked, automatically thinking of her history with pain medication.

Roman nodded. "Can I borrow someone's phone to call her Jose? I left mine back at the stadium."

"Yeah, here you go." Seth handed him his phone.

"Thanks." Roman got up and dialed Jose's number, pacing the room.

"Hello?"

"Hey Jose, it's Roman."

"Oh Roman! Finally! I've been trying to call you. Did you get a new number or something?"

"No, no. I left it back at the stadium. Did you see the match?"

"Yeah I did, is she okay? What happened?"

"The doctor said surgery went well, she has a shattered kneecap. She'll have some difficulty healing her patellar bones, but she'll be okay. They have her on opioids when she wakes up." He explained.
