With Olga's help, the crutches were put into their position in her underarms. Ellie braced herself expecting to tetter or fall on her tailbone again. But strangely it felt like she was swaying a bit from wearing training wheels on her bicycle. It was manageable as she took her first couple steps without assistance. These crutches helped her balance immensely. She could walk back and forth without feeling too winded as she had some great support. It was nice to move as she pleased so for a bit she did so. 

As she no longer had to watch herself, Ellie turned her attention to her beautiful done up friend who seemed saddened by something.

Her eyes were rapidly reddening as Ellie noticed her mascara rivets. Ellie was dumbfounded. "Olga did you come all the way here because something happened? Is everything ok?"

Olga wiped the moisture from her eyes quickly and gave Rllie a strained smile. "For me? Of course it is. I'm perfectly healthy, but Derrick is not. You know I told you that my boyfriend has brain cancer. Nothing has been working for two years so I did it. I went to see that crackpot doctor who helped you. I know she does paralysis and you know sometimes my man can't move parts of his face. They run all sorts of tests and you know they never know what's wrong and they give us antibiotics that don't work. I went for a second opinion. I just want to help him. She's such a character and I don't even know why I should trust her, but when we went she recommended an experimental treatment that would involve brain surgery."

Ellie shrugged. "She is so creative when compared to other doctors. Even if I didn't understand what she was doing, I would willingly do anything kooky she wants to do to me. She's crazy smart." She said this with a brusque tone. "I'm serious. But I am more curious to hear what she thinks is wrong with your boyfriend."Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.

"She thinks that parts of his skull when he had that car accident years ago haven't healed properly so she wants to basically refracture his crabium before irradiating the cancer so his brain won't swell so much. It sounds terrifying the more I think about it but Derrick kept saying that was exactly his symptoms. The swelling was what the doctors didn't know how to control. I mean, I suppose the emergency room could have been busy that day and they could have made some mistakes. But, a full opening up of the skull is just a horror movie stunt that she is pulling." Olga took out her phone and showed Ellie the X-rays that Wu had done for Derrick. She zoomed in on what Wu had pointed out. "There is so much pressure on his brain that Wu said it's a miracle that he hasn't had a serious stroke or brain aneurysm. I'm shocked too but she says his migraines will disappear and he should be cancer free after the chemotherapy. We could get married too. It would be nice to have a future to look forward too." Olga's eyes were wet and dreamy as she stared off into space
