At any other time Isabel would have felt guilty for being grateful that the emergency room had gotten so much busier with people in much more serious conditions. But right now, as far as she was concerned, anything that kept them from focusing too much attention on her, or slowed down the lab work they'd ordered, was a good thing.
The Tylenol she'd been given hadn't done much to reduce pain from her ribs, or the pain from her head where she'd hit the ground, but Isabel didn't want to risk taking anything stronger, even though it had been offered. With the way her luck was going today, she'd react to it like she did to alcohol. And that would be bad.
For what seemed like the millionth time, she hit the button on her cell phone to check the time, all the while hoping Wyatt would turn up soon.

( Meanwhile, elsewhere in the hospital… )
( Back in the ER… )

406, late afternoon - evening
Oct. 11th, 2007 07:02 pmAfter work Isabel had gotten some dinner and returned to her room. Her conversation with Professor Lyman had given her a lot to think about. She checked the deadlines and it looked like she could pull it off. But it would mean for the next two and half weeks, she'd have to cut back on socializing with friends until the application was done. It was something she was going to have to think about and decide on soon.
For now though, Isabel opened her laptop and set about writing an email to Maria, to fill her in about certain recent events.
The door was open.

Room 406, evening
Sep. 4th, 2007 08:13 pmAfter visiting Cedric, Isabel returned to her room and straightened up for a bit, thinking about the past several days.
The new semester was off to a good start. She'd met new people and spent time with old people. Classes looked like they were going to be fun and she'd gotten a new job.
Cleaning up complete, Isabel sat down on her bed with the current copy of Vogue. She considered it homework for work.
