Free Ride Me Cowboy #3 (The Cowboy Romance Series - Book #3) by Alycia Taylor Page A

laughed.
    “I like to think of myself that way,” I said.
    She pushed the wheelchair next to the bed and said,
“Saddle up cowboy. Let’s go get that wrist x-rayed.”
    “I don’t need a wheelchair.”
    “I’m sure you don’t, tough guy, but it’s the rules.”
    Reluctantly, I got in the wheelchair and she chatted
all the way down the hall. She didn’t really seem to expect any answers or
comments from me and I was grateful because I wasn’t in a talkative mood. My
wrist was manipulated in several painful ways as they took pictures of it and
finally when I thought I was going to die they stopped and pink lady took me
back to my room. After I got back on the bed she said,
    “You need something for pain. Give me a minute and
I’ll take care of that for you, sweetie.”
    She was gone about five minutes but as promised, she
came back with a pain pill. I didn’t even ask her what it was, I just took it.
I was glad I did when the doctor finally came in. It seemed that everyone here
was prone to manipulation of your broken bones. When he finished with his
torture, he snapped a photo up on the little lighted board on the wall and as
he pointed he said,
    “You see this?”
    “Yes.”
    “And this?”
    “Mm hmm.”
    “And this one?”
    “Yep.”
    “The first one is a break and the other two are
fractures.” I nodded. “We’ll need to set that bone and cast the wrist. We’ll
leave it casted for a few weeks and then x-ray it again. If that bone is not
mending, you may need surgery. In the case of this type of break, that’s pretty
likely. It will have to be set with pins…”
    “Wait a second. How long is the recovery time after
a surgery like that?”
    “As in when can you return to normal activity?” I
nodded. “Hopefully eight weeks….”
    “Eight weeks? No…no…no! I have another rodeo in two.
Hell, a cast isn’t even an option. I can’t ride a bull with a cast on…”
    He was looking at me like I
was an idiot. Maybe I am. “That bone won’t heal without some treatment. It’s a
good break. Those fractures are pretty nasty too.”
    “You don’t understand…I can’t stop now. I’m number
three in the U.S. I have to stay in the top fifteen to go to the national
finals.”
    His eyes looked sympathetic but his voice was all
business as he said, “I’m sorry, but I’m not a miracle worker. If this bone
isn’t set correctly, it won’t heal correctly. You may never be able to use it
correctly again if that happens.”
    “So if I don’t need surgery, how long will it take
to heal in a cast?”
    “Everyone heals differently. But average is ten to
twelve weeks.” I wondered if he knew that he was issuing me a prison sentence.
I was devastated. I felt like I was going to throw up. My head was pounding and
although the doctor was still talking I couldn’t hear or process anything that
he was saying. This is my life…my whole life. I have nothing else…Dear God,
what am I going to do?
