Jacob slowly returns to the land of the living ... his mind is still dulled by the narcotics ... which induced a kaleidoscope of conflicting images.  One stood out in his mind ... he saw himself strapped down to the table, as he had been ... and the Doctor entered the room.  She slowly undressed and began to climb onto the table ... that is all he could remember (and he worked hard to try!).  He looked around ... he was in a different room now ... the surgery was over ... His throat felled parched ... he had no idea how much time had passed.  He looked around and did not see any water ... He decided to go and look for someone.  He attempts to get up, but manages only a little as his side screams in pain.  He lays back quickly to alleviate the sharp discomfort.  He would have to wait for someone to come and check on him ... all his thoughts now were of water ...
