This is a sequel to amputation.

Learning to adjust

(Indigos point of view)
I have to learn to adjust to life with only one leg, I don’t know how I’m going to be able to do that, but with really supportive parents and friends like lemon zest I’m sure I’ll be ok. It had been about a month since Indigos motorbike accident, she had been to rehab and was starting to get used having to use the crutches and only having one leg to balance. She was heading back to the crystal city and she couldn’t wait to see her friends.

Indigo was coming home today and I couldn’t wait to see her. Don’t get me wrong the other girls are great but Zaps been my best friend since we were little kids.

“Lemon will you calm down she’ll be here soon” Sunny flare told me

“I know but I just can’t wait to see it’s been so long” I replied back with

“It’s only been a month” Sugarcoat said in her usual deadpan voice

“ Yes I know that, but she might of had a hard time with only having the one leg” I told her. Just then a car arrived where the girls were stood talking. Indigo got out the car and was able to use her crutches to make her way over to her friends.
I was so excited to see Indigo that I rushed up to her.

“Indy!” I shouted

“Hey lemon, it’s nice to see again it’s been to quiet without you screaming irritating rock music in my hear” Indigo zap told her best friend.

“Love you too Zappie!” I told her

“It sure is nice to have you back Indigo” Sunny said

“Yeah we missed you, even Sour Sweet. But she won’t admit that” Sugarcoat added

“Where is Sour Sweet anyway?” Indigo asked

“She had some homework to, she needed to get it done , but you’ll see her later” I told her

“Ok” was all Indigo answered.

“So how was rehab?” Sugarcoat asked

“It was ok, I’m getting used to having to limp everywhere. It doesn’t hurt as much as did at the beginning “ Indigo told her

“Will you always have to limp and use the crutches?” I asked

“No I have a consultation next week about getting a prosthetic leg, and I’ll only have to use the crutches until I can walk on that properly. It’ll take a lot of physio and a lot of paitence” Indigo told them

“Something you don’t have” Sugarcoat said

“Either way you’ll be ok with everything right?” I asked

“Yeah I’ll be fine Lemon, I’ve just got to get used to waking with a bit of a limp for a while. And then start to learn how to play sports again. Indigo told replied.

“Well don’t go excerting your self Zap we care about you and need you to be ok, even if that takes a while” Sunny said

“Relax Sunny I’ll be fine it’ll take more than a lost limb to slow me down” Indigo told her.

“Well at least your being positive about it” Sugarcoat said.

“Yeah at least that’s something” Indigo answered back with.

“Well we better be heading home it’s getting late. You coming Indy?” I asked

“That’s alright Lemon my parents are coming to get me , but thanks for the offer” Indigo answered

“Ok see you tomorrow” I said.

(Indigos point of view)

I got home after my parents had picked me up, I went straight to my bedroom and just cried into my pillow. That’s all I had done since I got out of the hospital...
