It’s Iimi! …There the Vultures Will Gather

It’s been a week since Anne’s car accident left her crippled, and everyone is struggling to make sense out of it all. But conspiracies move forward as Helen Otios’ faction seeks to take advantage.

If you think that Anne’s comments about her amputation seem implausible, you should be aware that, in the recovery room, I once told the nurse on duty, “I’ve heard healthcare cost an arm and a leg, but this is ridiculous!” Sometimes, dark humor is a coping mechanism.

 

Three months is roughly how long it took me to be fitted for a prosthetic after my amputation. Comparing that to whatever “normal” might be, a Google search revealed that it can be anywhere from six to ten weeks after the wound heals.

 

Technically, visitors must wear protective clothing to prevent germs from entering where the amputation is stitched closed. But my program doesn’t have the assets I need to create that.
