"Love thy neighbor" Chapter 17
Troy could barely open his eyes. He could hear beeping noises and voices. "God my head is killing me." Troy thought as he tried to open his eyes. "How do you feel sir ?" A nurse asked. "Where am I ?" Troy whispered. "You were brought to the Emergency Room sir. You were in very poor condition," She said. "Covid ?" Troy whispered. "No sir. You were severely dehydrated, suffering from extreme malnutrition, and your blood sugar dropped to below forty. You were sinking into a diabetic coma." she said. "Daibetic ?" Troy said. " The docotr orderd an A1C test and it seems that it is just related to the malnutrition and not due to diabetes but I will let the doctor explain all of that." the nurse said. "Damn you Rovert. I told you to leave me the hell alone and now I am in the fucking hospital." Troy thought.
Due to Covid restriction there was no one allowed in the Emergency Room with Troy. He looked to see a bag of fluids hanging beside the bed. He raised his hand slightly to see an IV needle in the back of his hand. He partially apologize to Robert in his mind because he realized that with every other breath his head began to hurt a little less. The nurse returned with a handsome man in tow. He looked to be in his mid to late forties but was tall and had a very handsome face. Walking up he placed his left hand on Troy's arm. He then moved it down and lifted Troy's foot. "Fuck Robert, at least you could have carried me to a saingle doctor. This one has a wedding band." Troy thought.
"You are a lucky young man. Another day and I am afraid some of the effects may have been irreversible. When the man brought you in you were on the verge of a diabetic coma. Your blood sugar was below forty. You were suffering from severe dehydration and also extreme malnutrition. Was there a medical reason that you were not eating or drinking ?" The doctor asked. Medical ?" Troy asked. "Stomach virus, allergic reaction, pain in swallowing, stomach cramps, lack of appetite, anything like that ?" the doctor asked. "No, it's just been a stressful time and I let it get away from me." Troy said. "Do you feel like you need any antidepressants or anti anxiety medications ?" The doctor asked. "I don't think I need anything like that. I just need to pull myself up and get my self back together. I just kind of got lost for a few days I guess." Troy said. "Son it was more than a few days. The condition you were in leads me to believe that you had very little liquids and no nutrition.
Troy's head began to hurt a little less and he dozed off to sleep. It may have been ten minutes and he was woken to a severe cramp. "OOOOOhhhhhh." Troy shouted out. There was even more pain when he tried to reach down to his aching calf. "I see it's beginning to work." The nurse said. "Work hell. What did you give me ?" Troy said. "Fluids," she said. "With what in it ?" Troy grumbled. "Just fluids. Your muscles were beginning to eat themselves due to starvation. That along with dehydration it's going to be painful for today and you will be really sore for a couple of days." SHe said. " I have never had pain like this." Troy said. " Funny how bad the lack of a little fluid and a little food can heurt all over." She said. "I got it. I got it. It won't happen again." Troy said. "I am not scolding you. We have people that come in that have eaten adn drank but thir body just does not absorb it." she said. "I am sorry. One minute I was opening my door and the next thing I know I am in here with beeping sounds, tubes in my hand and people hurrying in and out. Plus this splitting headache does not help." Troy said.
The nurse took and checked his eyes. Headache huh ? That's good then." she said. "Good ?" Troy asked. "As dehydrated and malnourished as you were, we figured it would be tomorrow before you got enough fluid in you and the nutrients we gave you to start replenishing your brain like it should. If you have a splitting headache this soon you may just get to go home this evening." she said. "That would be a blessing." Troy said. " With the Caronavirus we try not to keep patients any linger than absolutely necessary. If you are haing the headache and cramps you may just get to leave my lovely room in a couple of hours." she said.
The doctor came in about two hours later. "I heard you were having trouble with a massive headache and cramps." he said. "It's getting some better." Troy said. "That is good news. Now that we know it is working we will give you something for the pain in your IV so you can go home. IYou will be given strict instructions and I have already talked to the person that brought you in and told them that you would need plenty of Gatorade or Powerade. Now I will tell you now. It is going to hurt like hell when you piss the first few times but you are going to need to anyway. Your kidneys had started shutting down. I don't think there will be any permanent damage but the abuse they have been through they are going to remind you what you did at least the first dozen times you pee." The doctor said. "Something to look forward too." Troy said. "I also told them that for the next twenty four hours that you HAVE to, no exceptions, HAVE to drink at least eight ounces of the juice within every two hours and you have to eat some type of simple soup of something soft every four. One bitre will not work. You have to eat a minimum of one cup. If not you will be right back in here with even more tubes and right now you are not on any medications but that could easily change to four or five twice a day just to live." The Doctor said. "Fully scared. I get it." Troy said.
About twenty minutes later a couple of nurses came in. "The doctor says you can go home. Here are your instructions. We have given you something for pain but that will wear off. Do you need a prescription for something ? " She asked. "I don't think so. I have Tylenol and Advil so I think I will be fine." Troy said. The second nurse had been removing the IV and all the monitoring patches. "Do you think you can get dressed on your own or will you need help ?" One murse said. "I think I can do it. I am sore but I don't feel dizzy." Troy said. "Just let us know when you are dressed and we will wheel you out. We called the person that brought you in and they have come in and told us they are here and in the parking lot." the other nurse said. " Robert is a good neighbor." Troy said. "Robert ?" the first nurse mouthed to the other nurse who in turn just shrugged her shoulders.
The hospital was an old building. It looked modern but it still had individual Emergency Rooms and each had a bathroom. Troy turned and looked into the mirror. It almost startled him to see the figure looking back at him. He could almost see all the bones in his face and his eyes seemed to be sunken. The dark rings and pale skin with a slight yellow tint scared him. He looked down at his chest it looked as though someone had just draped loose skin over his bones. "Holy crap. You are forgiven Robert. I would have freaked out too if I opened your door and saw this. Get you'r shot together Troy and dust yourself off. It is not the end of the world but if you keep this up it will be for you." He told himslef in the mirror.
Troy was dressed and called for a nurse. "Well my, my you are looking a lot better than you did when I wheeled you into this room. You scared a lot of people." the nurse said. " A lot of people ? There is Robert and ... Oh hell I bet my cousins found out. They better not be at my damn house trying to divide stuff up already." Troy thought. The nurse went over the instructions again just like the doctor had. She seemed to put more emphasis on eating and drinking. "I deserve that so don't get pissed." Troy told himself. "Well young man I think it's about time for your walk of shame. Well, ride of shame." she said and laughed. Troy pulled his arm up due to the bright sunlight when the ambulance doors opened that led to the wheelchair ramp. "Over here." a voice called out. "Who was that ? That sounded familiar." Troy thought. Once they turned to face the vehicle his heart stopped. His heart stopped and even his nose began to bleed just a little. Standing at his car with the passenger door open was Preston and standing by the back door was Ginny."Take me back." Troy said. "You need to go home and rest." the nurse said. "No take me back, I will do everything you sat just please take me back." Troy said. "You just stay calm and go home and erst. You have gotten so excited your nose is bleeding a little." the nurse said. Troy's heart had started beating but by the time they got to the passenger door of his SUV it was racing.
Troy sat in the passenger seat. Preston leaned over to buckle his seat belt. The scent of Preston hit Troy's nose and all he wanted to do was run. "When I can I will kick Robert's ass for calling him and telling him I was in the hospital." Troy thought. The ride home was quiet. Preston placed his hand on Troy's but Troy made no movement to acknowledge it. "Pop I promise we will explain everything when we get you home and settled. Don't be mad at Daddy. This is as much mine and Lindy's fault. We are so sorry." Ginny said. "Don't tell me that you drug Lindy into this too." Troy said. "Drag her. Hell, I couldn't stop her. She is at your house cleaning up and Ginny is going to start back cooking as soon as we get there." Preston said. Troy closed his eyes and tried to hold back the tears. These were not tears of joy, they were stress and fear.
When they arrived at Troy's house Preston and Ginny had taken their masks off. Troy refused because he did not want them to see his facial expressions and it also covered a lot of the loose skin that seemed to just hang from his face. Preston made it around to the passenger side just as Troy unhooked his seatbelt. "Come on baby I will tote you in." Preston said. "I can walk, thank you." Troy said. Before he passed the hood headed to the porch he had wished he had taken Preston up on the offer but he took a deep breath and fought the pain to get inside the house. Lindy met them at the door. "Oh MY God Pop. Promise me you will never do this to us again." Lindy said and grabbed him and hugged him. Even the dandruff , if there was any, on Troy's head was screaming out in pain. "Daddy, you get him cleaned up. I will help Ginny with supper. He is nothing but bones." Lindy said. Ginny nore Preston had hugged him since they picked him up. Preston got a concerned look on his face.
"There was a knock on the bedroom door. Preston had sat Troy on the edge of the bed so he could run a tub full of warm water. "Hre Daddy. Give this to Pop. The doctor said he had to drink and I am standing right here until he drinks every drop." Ginny said. Troy still had his mask on. Preston handed him the cup of Powerade. He took a deep breath when he heard Ginny gasp at seeing his face that was hidden under the mask. Troy drank the Powerade and handed the cup back to Preston. "I have the water almost ready. I will be in here with him until he feels better. We will fix this baby girl. I promise." Preston said. "Yes we will Daddy and we will make sure it never happens again." Ginny said. "Once I get him comfortable and settled we will all explain, together, what happened." Preston said. " Alright Daddy. I Love you and I love you Pop." Ginny said. "I love you too Ginny.:" Troy said in a raspy voice. "You better." she said and laughed as she turned to leave.
Preston walked back to Troy and stood him up. Troy noticed a tear in his eye once he lowered his arms from Preston pulling his shirt over his head. "Holy fuck. Lindy was right. He is just a skeleton." Preston thought "I am so sorry baby. It is killing me to know I did this to you." Preston said. "I am a grown man. You did not do anything to me. I did it to myself so It is all on me." Troy said. "No baby it's not. This is my fault but I promise to fix it." Preston said. "How ? How can you fix it. You moved and left me without even saying goodbye." Troy said and lowered his head. "Baby I did this all wrong but I promise I will explain. I just want us all to be together so there are no questions." Preston said. "Well I have to pee." Troy said and pushed past Preston. Preston gasp again as Troy started to walk into the bathroom and his shorts began to fall to the floor with no help.
Troy thought the doctor was just kidding when he said it would hurt to urinate. Troy ended up seated on the toilet with his arms around Preston and his face pressed into Preston's hairy belly. Troy was naked at that point while Preston had only removed his shirt. "I can't do this again." Troy said. "Yes you can baby. They told you it would hurt the first dozen or so times and then it will stop." Preston said. Troy just released Preston and lightly pushed him away.
Troy's mind had been blank for teh last couple of weeks. Today it was on overdrive. Every muscle and joint in his body hurt. Even his dick hurt when he had to piss. Standing from the toilet was a choir also. Preston stepped back up to try and help but was pushed away. Troy went to step over into the tub but realized he could not deny help there. If he did he may end up drowning. The tub was a large one but not a full garden tub. Preston stepped into the tub and then held out his hands to help steady Troy as he stepped in. Preston helped Troylower himself into the water. As Preston stood, before he could step around to get behind , Troy was face to face with the flaccid cock that Troy had once fallen in love with. He could have easily reached his tongue out and touched the large mushroom head.
Preston lowered himself into the water and then pulled Troy back against his chest. Preston's fingers trembled when he felt the loose skin and bones. "You don't have to do this. I can manage." Troy said. "I know you can baby but I am here and I am not going anywhere." Preston said. "Yeah here until you have to run back to her." Troy thought. "Why are you here Preston ?" Troy asked. " Baby I hope you can understand after we all talk. I want teh girl's around when we talk so there is no mistaking any part of the story." Preston said. Troy's muscles and joints were beginning to relax enough that he dozed off for a few minutes in the warm water and once again feeling safe nestled against Preston's chest.
Preston and Troy got out of the tub as the water began to cool. Preston took Troy into the shower so that he could wash his hair before drying him off. Troy stood at his dresser trying to find a pair of shorts Preston was concerned since the other shorts just fell off of him. In the closet he found a robe. "Here baby you will be more comfortable just wearing this robe. "I am not going to be the only one not dressed." Troy said, and turned back to the open dresser drawer. Preston stepped back in the closet and came out wearing another robe that matched the one he had for Troy. Troy gave in and put on the robe. The robe on Troy came down below his knees. The same style and size robe had Preston in the bathroom looking in the mirror to make sure he was not exposing himself.
As they exited the bedroom they could hear voices in the kitchen. "You girls alright in there ?" Pretson asked. Moments later Ginny appeared with another cup of Powerade. Troy just moaned and growled. "No arguing Pop. I will hold you down and Lindy will pour it in. The doctor said drink so you are going to drink." Ginny said. She placed the cup on the table and moved over and hugged Troy. "We love you Pop." Ginny whispered.
Since his Grandmother had died, Troy had never had anyone care for him or do anything for him if he was sick. He was still trying to get out of his own mind and focus on what was happening so he sat at the table and sipped the drink. "Supper will be ready in about ten minutes so you two just stay right there." Lindy said as she walked into the room. Troy just grumbled. "And you sir. You are going to eat. If not I will hold you down and Ginny can pour it in." Lindy said with a hand on her hip. "They are definitely sisters." Preston said and laughed.
Ginny and Lindy had made a pot of beef and vegetable soup, homemade biscuits and fresh cut fruit. Everyone sat at the table and after Preston blessed the food the girls dipped out a large bowl of soup for Troy. The bowl had plenty of vegetables and meat but had more broth than anything. Preston picked up his spoon and lifted a spoon full of the soup. Troy looked towards him as if asking for help. " Sorry baby, I have never won when it comes to these two. Both girls sat and looked at Troy waiting on him to take his first bite. Troy put his spoon in and filled it with the broth. "This is really good girls. Thank you." Troy said, after swallowing the first spoon full of broth. By the time they had finished and the girls made sure that Troy had finished a full glass of tea they quickly cleared the table and brought Troy a fresh glass.
"I guess it is time for some explanations." Preston said. Ginny started by telling about her conversation with the judge they called their Uncle. Lindy then told about the phone calls she had with her friend that worked at teh law office. It was now Preston's turn." I called and talked to my friend that they call Uncle Tommy. I told him about the private detective and the subpoena for the phone. We argued for about an hour but he told me that I had to cut all ties to you until this was all over. If Ansley could not find any proof of contact between us through phone or the private detective then she would have no grounds to claim I was cheating." Preston said. Preston got up and walked towards the bedroom. "We are so sorry Pop. We just know our Mother and how unreasonable she can be." Lindy said.
Preston returned and handed Troy a piece of paper. "It is done. Well it will be in four days." Preston said. Troy opened the paper and read the title. It was a petition for divorce filed by Ansley against Preston. " I was coming back baby if I still had to live next door." Preston said. "They sold that house." Troy said. Ginny and Lindy both raised their hands like they were in a classroom. "Their Uncle told me that I needed to get Ansley out of this town. If I lived next door with you there would never be peace. Ansly thought I just gave up my business here. I make too much money to do that so I sold it to the girls for a hundred dollars and the business bought the house. They have promised to sell me my company back after this is all over so we will own the house next door baby." Preston said.
"First things first. Are you going to turn our Daddy out on the street ?" Lindy asked. " I have an empty guest bedroom." Troy said. "I deserve that ." Preston said. "I understand what you did and why you did it but what I see is a lack of trust." Troy said. "Trust ?" Lindy asked. "You three did not trust me enough to tell me what was going on. You packed up and moved away without a word." Troy said. Lindy went to speak but Preston stopped her. "It was not that any of us did not trust you but when we found out that you may be going to court over the detective we decided that it was best. Baby you are as honest as the day is long. We wanted to protect you. We did not want to put you in any situation that you may have to lie." Preston said. "Well I did not know that. All I knew was that you were all gone without a word." Troy said.
