Counseling - Susan Ivanova susanofnarnia February 9 2006, 21:32:10 UTC

Susan hoped Ivanova was feeling better after a week to recover.

Re: Counseling - Susan Ivanova suzotchka February 10 2006, 02:15:18 UTC

Ivanova was looking worse off than last week. The cane, sling, and heavily bandaged leg, arm, and ribs may have something to do with this. She limps into the office, leaning heavily on her cane, and taps at the door. "Dr. Pevensie?"

Re: Counseling - Susan Ivanova susanofnarnia February 10 2006, 02:33:24 UTC

"Good lord, Ivanova," Susan blurted. "Sit!"

Re: Counseling - Susan Ivanova suzotchka February 10 2006, 02:36:22 UTC

Ivanova sat.

"Yes, my Queen. Don't worry," she muttered, scowling. "It's the same old injuries. I was ambushed by a doctor and her maniacal lackey."

Re: Counseling - Susan Ivanova susanofnarnia February 10 2006, 03:01:27 UTC

"And they're just taping you and splinting you now?" Susan asked, aghast. "How on earth were you managing before this?"

Re: Counseling - Susan Ivanova suzotchka February 10 2006, 03:04:08 UTC

Ivanova began to shrug, but stopped. "According to Lyta, pig-headed stupidity. I would have healed fine on my own, without meddling from the well-meaning."

Re: Counseling - Susan Ivanova susanofnarnia February 10 2006, 03:06:55 UTC

Susan doesn't face-palm, but if she did, she would be. "Ivanova, have you been prescribed pain medication? Are you taking it? We certainly don't have to go forward with today's session if you're not feeling well...."

Re: Counseling - Susan Ivanova suzotchka February 10 2006, 03:10:45 UTC

"What is with everyone's obsession with drugging me?" Ivanova blurted out. "Yes, I've been told to take pain medication. No, I am not taking it. I do not need to take it. I don't need anything. I want to go back to my normal activities. I don't like being on forced bedrest."

Re: Counseling - Susan Ivanova susanofnarnia February 10 2006, 03:19:47 UTC

Susan sighed and folded her hands under her chin. "Are you in pain now, Ivanova? That's what I want to know."

Re: Counseling - Susan Ivanova suzotchka February 10 2006, 03:23:53 UTC

"No," Ivanova replied forcefully. She lies like a rug.

Re: Counseling - Susan Ivanova susanofnarnia February 10 2006, 03:29:00 UTC

Susan gives her a look. "Did the doctor mention that pain is a warning? And you're not *supposed* to ignore it? That it's foolish to stress your body into more damage?"

Re: Counseling - Susan Ivanova suzotchka February 10 2006, 03:32:12 UTC

"No. She didn't. I knew that already." Ivanova sighed. "Doctors. They know everything. Look, Dr. Pevensie, I know it looks bad and I seem stupid and foolish for refusing help and pain meds. I just hate feeling . . . ineffectual. I'm the kind of person to thrive on chaos. I can't . . . do nothing, sit still."

Re: Counseling - Susan Ivanova susanofnarnia February 10 2006, 03:38:58 UTC

"A more active way of recovering, then?" Susan shook her head, then narrowed her eyes. "I supposed if you're, talking to me, you're at least not damaging yourself doing something more physical. Very well, then." She shook her head at Ivanova's injuries again. "And how did this change in treatment come about? Which doctor did you see?"

Re: Counseling - Susan Ivanova suzotchka February 10 2006, 03:43:38 UTC

"She isn't a doctor at the moment, but I have the feeling she was at some point," Ivanova replied. "Janet Fraiser? Do you know her? Anyway, I seem to have . . . fallen asleep Friday morning . . ." Ivanova frowned. "I can't really remember why. And I must have slept all weekend, because apparently I woke up on Tuesday. Lyta had gotten Janet to come over." She paused, but she had promised to say something. "As long as I'm at the clinic . . . Janet wanted me to be looked at more thoroughly."

Re: Counseling - Susan Ivanova susanofnarnia February 10 2006, 03:48:56 UTC

Janet Fraiser was the young woman of so much aplomb that Susan had met over the Snow Monster weekend. She frowned. "And that sounds very serious, a four-day fugue state-- you mean only Janet has seen you so far?" she asked, alarmed.

Re: Counseling - Susan Ivanova suzotchka February 10 2006, 03:50:50 UTC

". . . yes."

Great, Ivanova. You sound so very mature, adult, and responsible at the moment. She did find it odd about the four-day nap, but nothing really clicked. Lyta had made sure of that with her mental block. The moment she thought about it, the thought slipped away.
