It was about 30 minutes later until JR came back out, with fresh bandages on his scrapes and a small bottle of pain relievers in his hand. The nurse and doctor followed him out, “Be sure to tell your mom I said hi, JR!” the doctor told him enthusiastically with a cheerful smile on her face. “And watch out for cars” the male nurse added playfully.
JR gave them both a toothy grin and waved goodbye, “Yeah for sure! Thanks.” he said, coming back towards Margaret. “So I’ll be good, just might have some bruising and soreness later.” he informed her, rattling the pill bottle in his hand, “I’m all set.”
