Kate sets the book on the night stand. "It is mid afternoon.  Time for you to sleep and a shot for the pain. It will not the same strength as this morning and you will get another later after supper." Kate stands over him with a prepared syringe and needle. "It will hurt and then you will a cold rush as before. Don't move. I will find a place on your other hip." Kate removes the covers and  his night shirt. She finds a place without blemish and injects the essence into him slowly. "Done. Sleep and I have not forgotten your bath."
