I make good my escape, with the aid of the bus stop on site. my defender is on the other side of Shrewsbury, along with its keys, I call Mat whist awaiting for bus to arrive, for 2 reasons, 1 see if he is in, 2 find out what bus go out to his house.
I arrive at his, First words to me were “ you look better than the last time I saw you bud” After a coffee and a call to Shell, I headed for home. I need not worry about Kim as my parents decided to go to the hospital anyway and visit her.
The drive back was one of mixed emotions, that were difficult to separate. Relief for being out of the hospital, excitement about seeing shell and the kids. Mixed with worry about kim, scared about how we where going to cope or not and a couple of other emotions I still don't understand to this day. The journey up the A5 was uneventful. The last couple of mile where the longest.
I pull into the driveway, head into the house. Steph launches herself at me with a scream of “ Daddy “ I grunt at her impact and hug sent pain shooting out from my sore kidneys. I can't shout at her she is very pleased to see me. As Shell is. I settle down into the sofa, shell sit next to me and we talk about my kidney stones as I check emails and change my Facebook status to ' is out of hospital, damn kidney stone trying to emigrate to bladder'
I sit there looking around, thing are normal but you know they are not. Its a weird feeling that. Knowing there is a loved one, fighting for they life and I am sitting at home with a cupper.
The big question is do I tell Shell about a ghost from the past that weigh on my mind??
