Chapter 3 - The Doctor

Kate's life returned to it's normal routine, although in a wheelchair and without soccer. Still in the wheelchair, it was difficult for Kate to miniver around the caf, so most of the time, Kate would go get a table, and Lianna who get the food, two of what ever she was in the mood for. During the week, she would go to classes in the morning, watch soccer practice in the afternoon, and do homework and watch TV with Lianna at night. On the weekend, she would sleep in late and find a party for the night.  

Some nights, when they got home late from a party, and Lianna was to drunk to climber the latter to the top bunk, the two girls would snuggle on the bottom bed. Kate had always noticed that Lianna wasn't afraid to spoon and snuggle real close with another girl, but one night, when both girls were quite drunk and Lianna was being the big spoon, she put her hand across Kate and rested it firmly on her the side of her boob. At first taken aback, Kate soon returns the act, placing her hand on her roommates upper thigh, and ran it up to her ass. Either they didn’t remember it in the morning, or both felt it to awkward to bring up, because they never spoke of that night. 

After two months in a wheelchair, Kate had another doctors appointment to check on her progress.

"Wonder Kate, you seem to be healing better then expected, let's get you out of that wheelchair, but you'll still need crutches for long distances and avoid as much walking as possible," the doctor gave Kate the good news, "However, I must warn you, most people who are in wheelchairs for extended periods of time are surprised by how out of shape they are, and how much weight thy have put on, so I'm gonna need you to step on the scale so we can see if you gains any."

Kate had been worrying about this part, she hadn't really thought about her weight or looked closely in the full length mirror since that night Lianna brought home pizza, but she knew she has gained weight. 

"Alright, you weighed 115, when you tore your ACL, and now you weigh..." the doctor said shuffling the counter weights around on the scale. "135, a 20 pound gain.  Now I know that that is surprising, but you have to promise me that you will not crash diet or start an intense exercise program. For the time being you need a high protein and calorie diet to expedite the healing process, and your knee is still to weak to be running or biking. Once you're completely healed I can refer you to a nutritionist who will help you lose the weight you gained."

Kate heard the whole lecture, but it was in the back of her head, because all she could think about was how in the world she had gained 20 pounds and how she missed it and how Lianna didn't notice and what the fuck. After promising she would not crash diet or preform any strenuous physical activity, Kate was free to go home.
