Three days in the hospital for a little bite. Well, in all honesty, the injury was anything but little, but she'd been through worse in her life. It looked infected, the doctors kept saying and Fred had made a little joke about losing the arm. No one had thought it was very funny.
She had read every single magazine the hospital room had to offer and couldn't be bothered to watch whatever was on TV during the day. She was used to being in class or working or studying. Something other than lying in a bed with nothing to entertain her beyond the controls that made the bed fold in half.
She didn't do that while she was still lying in it, of course.
