Marine Home on Leave
By Randall Rumper
Part II
Ronny's Care Giver

Chapter 45: Jason's First Day

Jason Cox arrived early on the designated Friday morning to begin his new
job as part-time care giver to a wounded Marine, Corporal Ronny
Driver. Before arriving Jason had reviewed the Corporal's chart at the VA
hospital in detail on different occasions, so he was aware of the injuries
the Marine sustained and his recovery process thus far. He had also visited
with the Marine's family on numerous occasions since being retained by
Mrs. Driver as a part-time care giver for her on Ronny. Jason was looking
forward to working with the injured Marine, helping him work towards a full
recovery.

According to everything Jason had read and heard the young Marine was lucky
to have survived the chopper crash and be alive. The Marine along with
other crew members had been thrown from the helicopter when it went
down. As the CH-46 rolled over after the crash it pinned Ronny and another
crewmember beneath the fuselage.

When help got to the crash site the rescue personnel on the ground didn't
feel initially there was much hope for any of the injured to survive;
however, all did, do to the quick response of rescue and well-trained
medical personnel. Although Ronny suffered a concussion, broken bones and
burns as well as abrasions and lacerations he survived and was medevaced
along with the rest of the crew of the Sea Knight medium-lift helicopter.

At the in-country hospital where the full extent of the crew's injuries
were evaluated it was decided to stabilize the Marines for further
evacuation. The injuries Ronny suffered were multiple simple fractures to
his arms and collar bones, as well as broken ribs and vertebrae in his
back; however, the worst of the broken bones were right leg and ankle. The
tibula and fibula were compound fractures with bones sticking through the
skin when help arrived. Ronny also had broken ankle bones. All the
fractures in the leg and ankle were going to require extensive rebuilding
by orthopedic surgeons.

Within twenty-four hours of the crash all the Marines were transferred to
Germany where there were better facilities to handle their injuries. The
doctors at Landstuhl Medical Center put the Marine's leg and ankle back
together using titanium hardware. From all accounts Ronny had been lucky
the surgeons were able to save his leg and even luckier that his injuries
weren't worse; however, considering everything his prognosis was good.

Once he was transferred to Bethesda Naval Hospital in Maryland there were
more surgeries as well as skin grafting. Basically, all the Marine's
injuries were taken care at the Landstuhl facility and Bethesda before he
was released to the VA hospital for continuing recovery care and
rehabilitation. Jason had read a doctors note that the Marine should
eventually make a full recovery with minimal neurological problems or
scaring after plastic surgery, but his days in the Marine Corps were in
question. More than likely he would be medically retired.

The Driver's doorbell rang breaking Jason's thoughts and the conversation
among all gathered awaiting Ronny's arrival. Jason looked at his watch and
it showed ten after ten. He couldn't believe the group had been visiting
for over an hour. Mrs. Driver excused herself to answer the door. It was
the home health nurse from the VA. She entered the kitchen and immediately
recognized Jason saying, "Jason, I heard you were going to be working with
Corporal Driver and the family."

She turned to Ronny's mom saying, "You made an excellent choice
Mrs. Driver."

"That's what I've been told many times."

The Home Health Nurse assured Mrs. Driver that Jason was a great choice as
a care giver and would need minimal training or supervision. Jason had an
outstanding reputation at the VA hospital. They all went into Ronny's room
to make one final check. The nurse wanted to go over everything one last
time with Jason and family members. The VA nurse wanted to cover duties
such as taking temp and blood pressure readings as well as noting the
vitals in his chart with Jason and the Driver family members.

**********

Finally, Brandon with Gary close behind entered the quasi-hospital room,
announcing that the ambulance had arrived. Jason pulled on a pair of
heavy-duty blue nitrile gloves and began walking out of the room towards
the medical transporter parked under the portico to help bring the Marine
inside. Once inside the EMT personnel and Jason made sure the transfer from
the gurney to the hospital bed went smooth. As soon as the Marine had been
transferred to the hospital bed Jason slipped off the gloves and put on
another pair of gloves. The medical team stepped aside letting Jason began
his duties checking Ronny's vital signs making him comfortable while all
stood back monitoring Jason work.

"Hey, big guy how was the ride over here?" Jason asked.

"No siren," Ronny answered with a grin, "I'm sure glad my leg ain't all
strung up in the air like it was at the hospital."

Ronny was in a new leg cast from his knee to his foot with only his toes
exposed; however, he was still in the awkward cast on the upper portion of
his body and arms. His fingers stuck out from the cast. After the vital
signs were noted on the chart the nurse wanted to show Jason where and how
to apply the topical on the scars to help them somewhat disappear. Once
that was done Ronny requested some privacy; he needed to take care of
personal business. He asked his mom and the nurse to please leave him alone
and let Jason help him.

"What do you need to do Ronny?" Jason asked.

"I need to take a crap," Ronny said shyly.

Before pulling the privacy screen around the foot of the bed Jason turned
asking the nurse, "Use a bedpan or the bedside commode?"

"I'd like to see Corporal Driver try to get out of bed with your assistance
and use the uplift commode assist," the nurse replied, "He's used it at the
hospital."

"What do you think big guy?" Jason asked, "You trust me?"

"Let's do it," Ronny said, "Semper fi! Do or Die! Before I crap all over
the place."

The nurse stepped around pulling the privacy curtain behind her. She then
began explaining to Jason what he was about to do and how he was going to
place the Marine on the adjustable commode. Jason slipped the white sheet
back making sure that the Marine's private parts were covered. He then
lifted Ronny forward turning him and then moving him to the edge of the
bed. Once at the edge of the bed Jason lowered the bed so Ronny's feet were
flat on the floor. He then put a hospital slipper on Ronny's left foot,
making sure to keep the front of the gown down covering Ronny's private
parts. Once Ronny was on the commode he asked, "While you're taking care of
business can I put a new pad down, or would you prefer I leave to give you
some privacy?"

"Sure, go ahead do what you need to do. I've crapped in front of other guys
before in the Corps."

Jason laughed a little as he placed a new white absorbent pad in the area
of Ronny's buttock on the bed. He then went to the bathroom to fill the
plastic wash pan with warm water and then returned to the room. When Jason
returned Ronny said, "That's the next step for me, learning to get to the
bathroom."

The nurse chirped in saying, "That's right and Jason will be right beside
you. Now I'm going to step out I think you two have everything under
control in here."

Once the nurse stepped out Ronny said, "Jason, I'm done."

"Okay," Jason replied as he stepped in to raise Ronny up off the potty.

In a soft emotional voice Ronny said, "I'm sorry Jason."

"Sorry for what?"

"What you're doing. Hell of way to make a living and I'm sure it's as
embarrassing for you as it is for me."

Jason began wiping the Marine's ass something he'd done a hundred times
before for other veterans at the hospital. In fact, that was his main job;
that and bathing patients, so he was used to wiping asses and washing guys
around their private parts. Jason finished by bathing Ronny's ass crack and
then began to position him on the edge of the bed. Before laying Ronny down
he powdered his back and buttock area. He then easily reclined Ronny onto
his bed mattress turning him into position.

Once all was done Jason pulled the white sheet back up over his patient to
keep him warm, and then went about the cleanup chores. Jason emptied the
waste bucket, wiped the commode down with antiseptic wipes and got things
ready for the next time Ronny needed to relief himself.

Ronny looked at Jason saying, "Thanks buddy."

Jason excused himself from the room to see what was going on with the
others. The EMTs were gone, but the nurse told Jason he'd done an
outstanding job and was noting it in her report.

Mrs. Driver asked, "Anyone wanted a cup of coffee, tea or soft drink?"

"I'll take a cup of coffee if it's no trouble," Jason replied.

The nurse begged off saying that she needed to get back to the
hospital. All went well for the rest of the day. Come dinner time
Mrs. Driver invited Jason to take dinner with them. He accepted, calling
his mother to tell her he wouldn't be home for dinner. Then he returned to
see how Ronny was doing.

"Hey, big guy you need anything? Maybe something to drink?"

"No, I'm okay."

"Your mom invited me to stay for dinner. Is that okay with you?"

"Hell yes, you're probably gonna be eatin here a lot and if you don't watch
out my mom will put some pounds on you," Ronny said with a laugh, "Go on
get the hell out here I'll yell if I need you."

Dinner with the Drivers came and went. Ronny had to pee once so I held his
urinal while he did his business. By 7 PM Ronny was out like a light
bulb. I asked if there was anything else I could do. Mrs. Driver and her
husband told me that I done enough to get some well needed rest. I went
outside got on my crotch rocket and took off for home, thinking about Ronny
as I rode.
