However, today I had nothing outside of a doctor's appointment, and a I allowed myself whatever goof-off time was needed to keep my sanity.

Here would be the results of that.

Excerpt From Today's Session:

"Cass, you need to tell me where it hurts," Colin said soothingly. His friend gasped as he brushed his fingers over her hip and he frowned.

"Dammit, Colin! Do you have to keep poking so hard?"

"Sorry, Cass. It's the only way for me to feel for a broken bone."

Cassidy decided to opt for the silent glaring and soft whimpering as her friend and fellow pilot went into field-doctor mode. After a few, long, torturous moments, he was nodding to himself and sitting back on his haunches.

"Complete dislocation of your hip. You'll need to stand and brace yourself on a tree so I can push the joint back in."

"You have got to be kidding me."

"I'm not. You hooked your ankle around that root pretty hard. Add that to the fact that you were running for your life and, well, you had enough force behind the motion to yank your hip out." Colin grinned. "It was nicely done. I haven't seen a dislocation done so gracefully before."

Cassidy tried to glare at Colin again, but his grin was infectious. As her lips quirked into a smile, she held her hand out to him so he could help her up. She wrapped her arms around the trunk of the nearest tree and braced herself, mentally and physically.

"This is going to hurt something awful," she stated.

"Yep," Colin confirmed without remorse. Cassidy wished that he wasn't so gleeful about the whole thing. "On the count of three..."

"Glad to see you're all choked up about this," she deadpanned, wincing as Colin took hold of her leg and lined it up.

"Of course I'm choked up. Seeing any of my superiors in pain causes me undue – three!" With the final word, Colin rammed the joint back into place.

Cassidy screamed as her vision swam. She could feel herself on the verge of blacking out as she squeezed her eyes shut, tears streaming down her cheeks. She sagged against the tree, grateful for its solid weight. "Oh, that was craptastic. Remind me to never do that again," she said hoarsely. She rested her forehead on the bark as she tried to take deep, calming breaths.
