Today was the second night that Tom had to stay inside the hospital. Following the advice of their school nurse, Tom had made an appointment and given his situation he didn’t have to wait for long. He had quickly been assigned a private room, though he ended up having to sleep over on Monday since the surgeon didn’t have any gap to get to him.

Tom didn’t mind that. The hospital staff had given him enough pain killers that he had easily slept until Tuesday morning. When he woke up, he saw that he had seventeen missed calls from his mother alone, and nine more from his father. At some point, his father had notified him via a message that the hospital had already informed them and that the two of them would be with him this evening.
