-June 17th, 2014-
I was on my way home after being released from the hospital. Key sat with me, along with Sadie, Marissa and Melody. I was hurting so bad. Every little movement could be felt. I was actually debating if unmedicated child birth would've been less pain than that I was going through at the moment. The natural pain relief methods Marissa taught to me the day before weren't doing anything for me today. I glanced at Key who held my bag with a filled prescription of vicodin.
"Key, can I get a vicodin please?"
"What? Why? You were doing so good yesterday, do you really need it?"
"Crystal, use the techniques I showed you..."
"I have been...I'm about to break down and cry from the pain..." I looked at Marissa and she frowned.
"Okay, Kibum give her one I can tell she's hurting." Key nodded and grabbed my pill bottle out of my bag and dispensed a pill before handing it to me along with a small bottle of water. I took the pill, being careful of my swollen face.
I'm helped up to the hotel room where I’m placed on strict bed rest. Sadie would be staying with me this whole week, sleeping out on the sofa sleeper in the living room. Marissa comes in a provides all my meals.
Key left as soon as I was made comfortable in my bed.
For the rest of the day I wasn't allowed to have any visitors and was pretty much sedated the whole time except the use the bathroom, eat, have my bandages changed and the drain tank emptied.
Marissa came over and made me another shake and I passed out for the night sometime after 7pm.
-June 18th, 2014-
I woke up to the smell of something glorious cooking in the kitchen and the sounds of Sadie and Marissa enjoying conversation. I was in horrible pain. I couldn't move at all and yet somehow by the 20th I'm supposed to be moving? Pfft. Right.
"Oh you're awake, good. Marissa is fixing you breakfast."
"Mm...I can't move."
"Yeah," She peeled back the bandages and put some how of the ointment on. "That's normal. You're pretty swollen today, but I think you'll find that the pain will get a little better by tomorrow. "Let's sit you up though."
"No...I don't think I can."
"Oh you can, just breathe deep, here, take my hand." Sadie said, extending her hand out to me. I grasped it and took a deep breath as sharp pain radiated through me. I could feel all the stitches pull taut and tears of pain spilled over as I was pulled into an upright position. "I'll grab you a vicodin hun. Sometime today though we need to get you walking around."
All I could simply do was nod.
"Hey...ready for some real food?" Marissa asked, appearing in the doorway. Again I nodded. Marissa brought in a plate with an omelet on it and some sliced strawberries. I was excited to have some real food.
I carefully ate, Marissa keeping a watchful eye over me. She was good company though. I finished the plate, despite my stomachs pleas not to. In the middle of my meal Sadie came to give me a vicodin which I swallowed gratefully with my orange juice.
Marissa took my dishes and washed them for me while Sadie came in and gathered some clothes for me and started a shower. She gathered me up and we slowly made our way to the bathroom where she helped me undress and took off my bandages, careful not to pull on the various drainage tubes that came out from my breasts and hips.
I stepped into the shower and Sadie allowed me to wash myself. I still had the adhesive from the numerous tubes that were taped to my body while I was in the hospital. That was a fun challenge to try to scrub all that off my skin. There was a knock on the door and Sadie rushed to get it. I heard some people walk in with something heavy. I wasn't sure what the deal was.
"There are some guys here with a piano, they're setting it up in your bedroom right now."
"What? I didn't order a piano?" I said peeking my head out of the shower curtain.
"I don't know, they said they were with Star Music Entertainment or something?" So SM was behind this? But why? Moments later I heard my door shut to my hotel room, so I ended my shower and Sadie helped me get dressed. I walked back into the bedroom to find an 88 key electronic keyboard set up on a stand with a card with my name ontop of it.
I opened the card and inside was a note.
Hey Crystal,
This is a gift to you from SM. Hopefully you will be able to put it to good use making melodies for the new album!
Best Wishes for healthy recovery!
Lee Soo Man.
He signed his own signature to it.
"Oh that's nice. They gave me a piano to write music with." I said placing the card on the dresser. Sadie pulled a chair from the kitchen and set it down in front of the keyboard.
"Oh neat! If you want to mess around with it go ahead, I'm going to step out and grab a bite to eat. I shouldn't be too long." Sadie said as she gather her personal effects and left my hotel room. I gently sat down in the chair and my fingers caressed the ivory keys and began playing some random song before there was a knock on my door. I knew the door was unlocked so I shouted at whoever it was at the door to come in.
“Crystal? Where are you?” It was Minho.
“In here babe.” I said trying to get up the intense pain and tightness in my abdomen area making it nearly impossible to move. Minho appeared as well as Key and Jinki from what I could tell.
“Hey, take it easy...” Minho said, coming to my aid and helping me off the bench.
“We were asked to take you for a walk around, if you're feeling up to it, there's a yogurt place a block away.” Key said, and I looked up at him, leaning onto Minho for support.
“Have you seen my face? I can't go out like this. I'll walk around the building but I'm not going out like this.”
“You can't stay cooped up here.” Jinki said, as he got on the other side of me and interlaced his fingers with mine.
“I agree hyung, come on Jagi, a walk will do you good.” Minho said as he wrapped his arm around the small of my back. Key opened the door for us, and we headed downstairs and out the doors of the hotel. We were soon down the block and I already saw complete strangers gawk at me.
I'm sure they were thinking 'What are they doing with her? She's so ugly'. I carefully buried my face into Minho's chest and Key whipped his head around and asked Minho someone in Korean. Minho replied to Key before he looked down at me.
“We're almost there Jagiya, hold your head up, even with all the bandages, I still think you're beautiful.” Minho said, hoping to quell my sinking spirit. It work for the moment. As soon as we entered the yogurt shop though, things turned ugly. I grabbed a small paper cup to test out some green apple frozen yogurt and I could feel everyone in the tiny place staring at me. I tried my best to ignore it, but by the time I had chosen what yogurt I wanted, it was getting the best of me.
“I should just leave you guys...everyone's staring at me.”
“No. Ignore them Crystal.” There were whispers. What happened to her face? Look at that freak.
“I look like a freak show. Let's just go.” I whispered harshly to Jinki who just frowned at me. My face was flush with embarrassment and tears were beginning to appear in my eyes. Key glanced over at my direction, and anger quickly flashed on his features.
“Ya! Don't you all have other things to do than to stare at our friend? She's recovering from a car accident. Leave her alone and stop staring at her.” Key yelled causing everyone to turn back to whatever they were doing. I was still self-conscious though. I quickly got a few toppings for my yogurt and quickly got my bowl weighed. Minho paid for my yogurt while everyone else got their own. We all sat down in a booth in the corner of the small shop. “Aish, people these days.” Key said, as he began digging into his yogurt bitterly. I had chosen raspberry and green apple yogurt with strawberries, kiwi, and pineapple bits.
"Crystal, don't let people get to you. Enjoy your yogurt." Jinki said through a mouthful of what looked to be coffee flavored yogurt. I nodded and focused on eating through my swollen jaw.
Upon finishing, Minho helps me up out of the chair and takes my empty bowl and puts it in a nearby trash receptacle before we head out. By now my body felt a little stronger, not any better pain wise but stronger.
The guys escorted me back to my hotel room and by then Sadie was back.
"Ah, I see you guys took her for a stroll around the block, good!" She said, her eyes glancing at the clock before meeting mine. “How are you feeling by the way? Did moving around help you a bit?”
“Yeah it did actually. It's just really tight.”
“Oh that's normal. It'll be a good month before you'll be able to have full mobility of your tummy without tightness or pain. Walking is good exercise to get back to normal faster. You guys are welcome to stay and keep her company for the next hour...”
The guys take turns to keep me entertained, whether it’s to play cards, or a board game, or to shoot the shit and I see that even though the guys are very much like how they are while they’re on TV they are also very different. Off camera they don't hesitate to use curse words and they have a very perverted sense of humor.
-June 20th, 2014-
“Crystal....Crystal...come on get up.” I opened my eyes and rubbed the sleep from them. “Finally, jeez, getting you up is a challenge sometimes. Marissa's making you breakfast. You can get up and shower right?” I nod and sit up. My stomach area still pretty tight, but it was getting better and better everyday. My face wasn't as swollen and I could actually open my mouth to eat hard foods.
Marissa brought in a breakfast of blueberry, chia seed, and whole grain pancakes and turkey bacon. It was amazing. A little after 10 am, I was escorted by Sadie to the Dr. Casey's office where I was immediately seen. I was asked to strip down into a gown once again before I am examined to make sure everything is healing properly.
"Well everything's healing faster than normal which is great news. Sadie says you've been able to walk around a bit more since yesterday, is that true?" I nodded.
"Yeah, I haven't taken anything stronger than a couple of regular strength motrin since the 18th." I said, pretty proud of myself that I didn't get addicted to the pain pills after all. Addiction ran rampant in my family
"Well, that's great news. You're still a little bruised now, your breasts will be tender for another week or so...let's get all those stitches taken out. The bandages will come off now too as well as the drainage tubes. So if you'll lie back we'll get to work." Getting the stitches out was a bit annoying. The drainage tubes though, hurt the most. I was tearing up in pain but it was a quick process. So I wasn't in pain for very long before I was having the last couple of stitches.
"Okay, all done. Everything should heal nicely as long as you have that fibrin cream your dermatologist gave you. The stitches I just put in will dissolve over the next couple of weeks. You're doing phenomenal but I'll have Sadie stay with you for a few more days to teach you after care instructions and help you with physical therapy. Do you have any questions for me?" Ian asked, cleaning me up. I asked how long would be be before I was completely healed and he said probably around the six month mark but I would be able to move effortlessly in the within the next month.
I was asked to step on a scale where I was weighed, and I was 126 before entering surgery and now I’m down to 116.
"Nice, you dropped ten pounds, congratulations. Let me just write some things down in your chart and I'll meet you back in the waiting room then we can go for lunch." I nod and head out into the waiting area, pulling out my phone to send Minho a text telling him I missed him and to do well in the studio.
Sadie comes to get me and we head out to a local restaurant for a quick bite to eat. I have a chicken feta cheese lettuce salad with ranch dressing and it's so delicious. We talk a bit about SHINee and about my role in the group.
At quarter to one, we arrived at the building that my dermatologist and optometrist work in. I have my follow up with the optometrist who did my LASIK surgery. My vision now 100% but I still have bouts of dry eye. but I can definitely say that I haven’t used my glasses since the day of the surgery. He tests my eyes and I have 20/15 vision. No blurriness everything is good. He tells me to finish the bottle of antibiotics until it's empty and to use regular eye drops if I develop dry eye. Other than that, I'm good to go.
I'm out the door of the optometry clinic at 2:30 and we're early for my dermatologist. I check in and I'm immediately seen and asked to undress. Dr. Abdullah and his nurse come in while Sadie waits outside in the waiting room.
"Hello Crystal, good to see you again, today we are going to begin your first round of laser treatments to diminish the appearance of stretchmark scars, and the incision scars. Nisa here will give you a pill I want you to take. It'll help relax you for the procedure." I nod and take the pill given by Nisa.
Meanwhle Rhamy and Nisa set up the necessary equipment before leaving me for a little bit to gather some more supplies. While they were gone, the pill or whatever it was took affect and I felt strangely relaxed. There was a strange numbness that settled in the pit of my stomach before spreading up into my chest and tummy area before spreading to my legs and arms. I knew I should be alarmed by this but somehow I just didn't care. Nisa and Rhamy made their appearance moments later dressed in full garb and ready to go to work.
"What'd you give me?"
"Oh, that little pill? That was a miniscule dose of Fetanyl in oral form. This procedure is painful and I want you to be completely relaxed during it. The amount of pain you should feel should be minimized a bit, but you're still awake and alert." At this time he grabbed a large wand off the machine with gloved hands and pulled a mask on. "I'll be telling what limb to move and how I want you while I'm giving you your treatment."
"So will this hurt after it's all said and done?" I asked, and I noticed my speech was beginning to slur.
"Yes, but it will be likened to the pain of a bad sunburn. Now we are going to get started." He said as he pressed the wand to my stomach and depressed the lever. The treatments took a little while and I didn't get out until after 5pm. The fetanyl was just wearing off and my legs felt like jello. I was given some antibiotic cream to put on once a day and sent on my way. Sadie helped me back out to her car when my phone chimed in my purse, letting me know that I had a text waiting for me. I glanced down at my phone and unlocked it before reading the message. It was from Melody, it said that there was a meeting in the hotel small meeting room at 7pm. Supper would be provided and I was to wear something to show my new figure off. I send a text saying okay and shoved my phone back in my purse. I let out a breath.
"What was that all about?"
"Oh Sony big wigs probably want to take a look at how my surgery went and see where I am recovery-wise. Ugh. I just want to lay down." I said feeling defeated.
"Oh, well you got me, I'll tag along and help you out if you want. You've been through alot today." I gave Sadie a smile.
"Thank you Sadie, you've been wonderful."
"You're actually one of the better patients I've had. So the same goes to you too." Sadie said as she turned onto 95th and pulled up to my hotel. We head up to my room and Sadie helps me change into a black tanktop and a pair of yoga pants. I lounge around my room for a bit before heading down a little after seven.
When I enter the meeting room I see Jonghyun first, then Minho, Key and Jinki. I walked in further to see Taemin was there as well. I swallowed but continued looking at the others. Melody, Jerome, Edgar and his secretary were there as well. Everyone's jaws are open while Sadie helps me into an empty chair toward the end of the table. There were bento boxes out on the table with our names on them. I looked around to try and find Jin but he wasn't anywhere to be found.
"Good evening Crystal, how are you?"
"Hey everyone! I'm good. Um...where's Jin..." Just then he walked through the door carrying a box full of bottles of Soju and Sake.
"There he is. Hey Jin you want to give Crystal her choice of beverage please."
"Neh, Crystal...wow...you look so different. In a good way though..." He then thrust the box toward me and I chose a bottle of Sake. Everyone else chooses Soju besides Edward and Melody. I glanced around the room and met everyone's stare. This was the first time that all the guys have seen me since I got my bandages off and everything done. I guess it was to be expected. I looked down at the bento box in front of me with my name scrawled across in gold lettering.
"Okay, let's get right down to it. In front of you is your dinner, this meeting will be conducted in Hoeshik style so open your bottles and we'll get this underway." Jonghyun leaned in toward me.
"Noona neomu yeppeo..." Jonghyun half sang, half spoke to me. I blushed knowing exactly what that meant. I cracked open my bottle of sake but saw Jinki pouring the other guys drinks. I paused, really not knowing what to do, Jonghyun automatically picked up my bottle of Sake and I picked up my shot glass with both hands, remembering the words of Martina of Eat Your Kimchi somewhere in the back of my mind. Jonghyun poured a glassful of Sake for me while Taemin poured Jonghyun a glass of soju after.
Upon Jinki yelling something in Korean everyone drank and I did as well. Quickly drinking the strong Sake before Jonghyun was right there again, with the bottle of Sake. I looked up at Sadie who simply shrugged and sat down next to me. She was given a bento box and her choice of drink and she chose Sake and I poured her drink since she was a few years older than me.
I opened my bento box when everyone else did to find glazed Teryiaki Salmon with udon noodies, some sushi and other various Japanese dishes. When we had finished our food and were feeling pretty good Edgar opened the meeting.
"I called this meeting today to let you know your tentative schedules starting tomorrow. Gina, will you please hand out the itineraries for the next month." When Gina gets to me I am handed a paper with my schedule on it. I was starting lingual tutoring? I was learning Korean, Mandarin and Japanese along with Cantonese. I would also have vocal and physical training once a day. My schedule is jammed full. I glanced at Jonghyun's schedule and it looked similar but they had more breaks than I did throughout the day.
"Hey, Edgar, I have a question..."
"Ask away Crystal."
"How am I getting to all these tutoring sessions? I can move and everything but I don't think I'm going to be able to do all this up and down, rushing around to get everywhere crap. I'm still healing."
"That's a good question Crystal, you won't be traveling anywhere for these classes, the tutors have agreed to come to your hotel room until you have a clean bill of health from the doctor." I smiled. Wow. That eliminated my worries right then and there.
"Any other questions?" Noone seemed to have any other questions. "Okay, then lets drink to SHINee's success!"
Everyone ended up getting pretty drunk that night. I was pretty intoxicated and Sadie was too, but around 11pm we made it back to my room and I passed out.
