Quit trying to kid yourself. You got how many? Two? And she got the rest.
And she had to make pick up on you... or you would be stone cold dead this

Maybe I am. Let's check. I opened my eyes.
This room certainly looks like Heaven! But that proves you are not dead,
because Heaven is not your destination. Besides, everybody says that when you
die, first you go through a long tunnel with a light at the far end, and there
your beloved waits for you ... and that did not happen to you. No tunnel. No
light at the end of the tunnel. And sadly no Hazel.
So I am not dead and this can't be Heaven and I don't think it's a hospital
either. No hospital was ever this beautiful or smelled so good. And where is the
regulation racket found in all hospital corridors? All I hear are bird songs and
a string trio off somewhere in the distance.
Hey, there's Tree-San!
So Hazel must be close around. Where are you, honey girl?
I need help. Find my foot and hand it to me, will you, please? I can't risk

pee. Something abooraxly!-my back teeth are floating.

ear. I twisted my head to look just as she came around to where I could see her
more easily-a young woman, comely, slender, small of bust, long brown hair
