"Saturday,  March 31, 2068, 2 p.m., Tracy Island

Now, you get up there and lie still," Dianne commanded.

Jeff grinned as he sat on the edge of the bed, then turned his body to lie down on his back.

Dianne took one look at his grinning face and shook her head. She came closer and stood by the bed. Jeff took advantage of the situation and reached out to squeeze part of her behind.

She smacked his hand and went back to looking at his medical chart. "This is serious, mister!" she chided. "I've got to get a good scan of your foot for the doctors back in New York. If they like what they see, then I can take that cast off and you can start physical therapy."

"I've got a different kind of therapy in mind," Jeff said, raising an eyebrow and letting his eyes rove over her.

"So I understand," Dianne retorted. "Jeff, just let me get this done. Then we can talk about what you've got on your mind."

"Only talk?" Jeff asked.

"Well... maybe do something about it, too," Dianne replied. "Now, please lie still. I'm going to use the scanner wrap to do this. It will give me a better picture."

She took out a wide black band of flexible, woven vinyl with Velcro patches here and there. Wrapping it around his foot right over the cast, she then plugged the ends of the band into ports in the side of the scanner bed. Then she stepped back to a computer station in the room. A few keystrokes and the deep scanning began.

The whole process took around 30 minutes. Dianne manipulated the image several times, trying to get the right angle to see the affected parts of Jeff's foot. She sighed.

"I know that sigh," Jeff said from the bed. "What's wrong, love?"

"I don't know if they'll consider you healed enough or not,"

Dianne replied. "There are a couple of spots that look iffy to me, but then, I'm not an orthopod. They might think that those places are just fine." She sighed again. "I'll get this uploaded and sent out to Mt. Sinai right away."

She saved the scan and sent the file to her hard drive, from which she would email the file to the hospital half a world away. Then she shut down the scanner and extricated Jeff's foot from it, helping him sit up.

"So, lady, what are we going to do about what's on my mind?" Jeff asked, putting his arms around her as he sat on the edge of the tall diagnostic and surgical bed.

Dianne took in a deep breath and let it out. "I really need to send this off, Jeff. And after what I saw on the scan, I'm not in the mood. Can we do something later?"

Jeff nodded. "Sure. Whenever you're ready, love. I can see that the scan results have you concerned. You get this taken care of." He slid off the table, landing on one foot, his arms still around her. She laid her head on his shoulder briefly, then turned her face up to him. He wove the fingers of one hand through her brown and silver waves as he planted a passionate kiss on her lips. One, two more, and he reluctantly let her go. She handed him his crutches.

"I'll see you later, dear heart," he said as he left the surgical room and headed out of the infirmary altogether.

"Later, love," Dianne echoed. She sighed once more, then put away her equipment and went into her office to send the scan to the appropriate people.
