the surgeons office

When we arrived at the surgeons office they took Marie right in to see the doctor. If there was a spinal fluid leak if could be very serious. We all went in for the examine, Marie, her mother and myself. As the doctor looked over Marie scalp we tried to describe what we had seen. How much liquid was on the bed and pillow. The streams running down her face. I know he listened but the fact was, nothing was running down her face now.

Unfortunately his best suggestion was that she may have been sweating. My mother in law tried to explain how much liquid was there. The indentation in the pillow, where Marie laid her head, had so much liquid there was an actual pool. When she sat up her hair was matted to her head and liquid appeared to me, to be oozing from the top, around the surgery scar.
