Day to Day Chapter 50
Chapter 50
Megan nodded. Sheree continued. "You have been in a plane crash sweetie. 70 days ago there was a flight from the USA to Australia. On that flight the pilot had a few problems and the plane went down. It crashed on Norfolk Island when it attempted to land. The local folk rescued as many people as they could. And took them to their local hospital. They were very swift given their limited resources. They are not equipped to cope with this kind of thing. You stayed there for 6 days until you were transferred here. And you my dear have been here with us ever since. The only thing we are not sure on with all of that is whether you were on the ground or on the plane when it went down. This is what we need your help on. Does any of that ring any bells with you?"
Megan shook her head.”No." she said.
"That’s ok. It’s normal for you not to remember. But you will have one heck of a story to tell your grand kids one day, when it all comes back. You have been in a coma for the entire duration of your stay here. And today is the first day we have been blessed with your beautiful eyes."
"In a coma? 70 days?" Megan was repeating what the nurse had said. Trying to put it in some sort of sequence in her head.
Touching the side of Megans face she said, "Don't be alarmed. Memory loss is usually temporary. I have no doubt you will make a full recovery. We will just take it slow, and if you remember anything, anything at all I want you to call out to me or whoever else is on duty. We need to write it down so that it can be used to help you in your recovery. Deal?"
"Deal" Megan said feeling quite tired. Closing her eyes and almost instantly going to sleep.
The doctor was quite impressed with how the session went. He and his favorite nurse, Sheree had mastered the art of finding out as much as a person could remember without the patient even realizing they were being examined. Lessening the trauma once they realize they have had a serious head injury. Serious enough to put them in a coma for 70 days.
Megan woke several hours later to a very quiet room. She could hear the familiar sounds of the machines going on around her but she could hear nothing else. There were none of the sounds she heard before she went to sleep. There didn't appear to be anyone here. She assumed it was night.
She lay there for quite some time just trying to put everything into perspective. "What happened to me, how did it happen? How long will it be before I remember something? Will I remember?" All were frightening things to ponder. Megan felt certain she would remember but it was really just a matter of when. She fell back to sleep in the hope that in the morning when she awoke once again she would have something to tell Sheree.

Jon and Krystal returned home and as the weeks went on they tried their best to deal with Megans loss. Jon was thankful for his light workload. Thankful that it was the end of the tour. He could wallow in self pity in private for a change. It beat the hell out of pretending everything was fine to his all important, adoring public.
Dot was very supportive during Jons grief. She understood how much Megan had meant to him.
Jon would spend many nights lying awake just thinking about the times they had shared. He remembered them all. Quite often he found himself going into the studio and turning his turmoil into a strong and heartfelt ballad. Using his grief as inspiration.
Jon was in danger of slipping into the depths of depression and was determined not to allow that to happen again. He had too many things to keep him focused ion life. He had a wife that loved him enough to allow him to love another and she had given him 4 beautiful children. She had allowed him to live his life his way and she had stood by him thoroughout. He had a job he absolutely loved. And he was lucky enough to work with a great bunch of guys whom he considered his brothers, his family. No, the depths of depression were not going to hit Jon Bon Jovi. He was sure of that. No, He would do what he always did and throw himself into his work and write songs that would go gold or platinum. That is how he would deal with losing Megan.
