Story Halo Cast Part 3
"So what happened," Josh asked as Abby sat, took up the bowl, mixed it a little and spooned a bite into his mouth. She did not let the notion that she was feeding a baby go by her as Josh took a mouthful of mush. Josh didn't connect the same dots but he knew he'd been diapered. He knew and cringed when a nurse came in earlier that morning to change him. He was told why he was diapered and simply settled himself to his fate. He was too sore to argue.
Abby thankfully had worn one of her larger pads as a precaution and was thankful now she had because she was instantly turned on by feeding him. Again, had she been able to see the diaper she would have orgasm instantly. As it was when she leaned over to get his orange juice she rested a hand on the bed and with her fingers just under the sheet allowing her fingertips just to touch the waterproof plastic cover of the diaper and almost nearly soaked her pad. It had only been a second but it was all she needed.
Abby told Josh what the Highway Patrolman told her. Evidently the driver of the car that hit him had not seen him in those few seconds. The dozing driver thinking she was about to miss her turn quickly made the abrupt left to try and save the moment which unfortunately caught Josh unaware.
The impact luckily was a glancing blow but that impact had threw him first back into the windshield of her car before he flew off forward and into the bushes. The impact with the windshield was what knocked him unconscious which was also what tossed him into those bushes.
As Abby continued feeding Josh they made small talk discussing some of the things Josh might need for the next few days and then over the long term. A doctor came in and explained Josh's injuries to him by starting first with the arm cast. Josh was going to be in cast for six weeks minimum, eight would be even better the doctor had noted, and that was just for the cast on his arms.
Josh's halo cast would be a little longer by four to six weeks and could go beyond that depending on the rate of bone fusion the doctor said. Josh was also fitted with braces for his knee and another for his ankle. There were multiple contusions that would heal over the next few days, with a large one at the back of his leg. He would be on pain pills for a time and he had a mild concussion from the windshield impact.
Abby, standing across the bed from the doctor took notes promising Josh would be well cared for. The doctor walking back to the end, picked up the chart for Josh's vitals and was just about done when Abby asked if she could talk with him in the hall. Abby and the doctor stepped into the hall.
“Did they tell you that I've been approved to be his care giver,” Abby noted.
“They did,” the doctor noted taking Abby’s hand.
“The reason I’m out here is he’s very sensitive to the next topic which are his diapers,” Abby said and added before the doctor could offer any comments, “doctor, he has asked me to mention that he’d like to continue with those rather than switch back to a catheter.”
“Frankly I don’t see any problem with his choices one way or another,” the doctor said and then added, “I'll make a note of that on his discharge papers. Did you have any other questions?”
“No, but I'd also like you to note on his papers and release instructions that his diapers are prescribed as well instead of the catheter so I can get them on his pharmacy order if you don't mind. Otherwise, we’re fine,” Abby noted.
“I'll do that at the desk right now. If there is nothing else, I’ll continue with my next patient, and good luck to you,” the doctor said taking Abby’s hand one last time before he turned and went down the hall.
Abby returned to the room.
"Am I good to go," Josh asked.
“He said you’re good to go, but we’re going to be managing a lot of pain for the next few days so they want to keep you here, so hang in there,” Abby said and added, “and I’m going to take over your care.”
“You are,” Josh asked in a surprised tone.
“Josh, that was naughty of you listing me as your emergency contact without telling me, but since you did so I've accepted, and that’s water under the bridge now. The thing is, you’ve already got a room and all we need to do is rent some equipment," Abby said.
"Are you sure you're okay with this," Josh asked.
"Yes. Josh, I don't want to sound too greedy, but if you go into rehab it's three months that you're not at my place. That means I’m out those three months rent so yes, I’m more than okay with it. Besides the continued rent I get wages as your care giver and I can use the money," Abby said and added, "so frankly, I don't really mind."
"That's great," Josh said.
"More or less," Abby said and then added, "Josh, there is a little down side here."
"Like what," Josh asked.
"Well, for one, this also means a little more intimacy than we’ve had since you moved it so you're going to need to be prepared for that."
“I hadn't thought about that. I’m getting nervous,” Josh said.
“Nothing to be nervous about, just something to know about,” Abby noted and then added, “I was a nurse for nearly thirty years.”
"I remember you saying that," Josh said.
"That's also going to include diapering you," Abby said quickly.
"Oh, don't worry about those. I mean that's okay, those go away as soon as I get released," Josh said and then added, "I'm getting a catheter when I leave."
"Actually the doctor said no on the catheter," Abby said and added, "I just talked with him. He was pretty clear on that, which means the diapers continue, but if you think about it, Josh changing a diaper or catheter doesn't make much difference one way or another. It's still intimate contact."
"But why don't I get the catheter," Josh asked.
"I think it's for the same reason as now," Abby said and added, "let's not worry about it now. I'm not bothered by if and you shouldn't be either."
"No, I guess not. If it doesn't to you," Josh said and then added, "but then again you're not the one that's going to be wearing them."
"You'll get use to them," Abby said running a finger along his cheek. She was going to make sure of it. At least ten diapers a day she decided. Ten diapers a day with baby wipes, lots of baby lotion and baby powder would get him use to diapers in no time.
Abby shivered.
"Are you cold," Josh asked.
"Just caught a little chill," Abby said fibbing a little as the image of Josh getting his diaper changed faded.
