Capítulo 52: Chapter 52

As the doctor gathered his notes, I cleared my throat, catching his attention. "So, when do I get discharged?"

He paused, then laughed, a short, warm chuckle that caught me off guard.

I narrowed my eyes. "What's so funny?"

He shook his head, amusement lingering in his eyes. "It's typical. Every patient thinks they're ready to leave long before we're ready to let them go." He adjusted his glasses, scanning his notes. "But, all things considered, you should be ready to go in about two or three days, provided there are no complications with your ankle. We'll also set you up with a crutch and a boot to support the healing process."

"Two or three days?" I tried not to sound too horrified, but the doctor raised an eyebrow.

"It's standard," he said gently. "And once discharged, you'll need a week or two off your feet, so don't plan on running a marathon any time soon."
