What a nice and patient man he was, she thought. "The pain will become less every day, but you shouldn´t get up today. If you need to pee, please ring, the button is right next to your pillow on the wall." She pointed at it. "I know that you must be thirsty, but we need to wait another half hour, before you can get something. I will send a nurse then. Before tonight I will be back and look after you, ok?" She looked into his eyes and answered his smile. "You should try and sleep, it will help you to recover." With these words she turned around and left the room.
