This is his fifth day in the hospital. He's already used to the boredom, the constant beeping of the machines, the lazy dripping of the catheter. For David, this is just another hospital visit. It'll never get easier though. He just counts the hours until he can see her again. She's the only reason his heart still beats. His wife opens the door to his room just as he starts to feel the tears pricking his eyes. "Oh my. That's my dear wife. Where were you?" He grunts with a scowl. This isn't a good day for David. He feels like he's getting weaker in this damn hospital, today's dessert was an apple and he finished his favorite book. Again. "Comforting another hopeless sick man besides me, babe?"
