Seizure Watch: The First Days...

Setting: Somewhere in the Pacific. Probably Kona.

Characters: 
Kim: The Girl. Just about had it.
Nina: The jack russell. Just about had it.
Carrie Bradshaw: Decoration. Fluffy.


8pm. A Tuesday night. Kim is typing.

Nina: (sleepily) I'm beat.

Kim: Me too.

Nina: (suspiciously) Why do you keep staring at me?

Kim: Seizure watch.

Nina: Why are you writing Dr. Grant?

Kim: How did you know I was writing Dr. Grant? (looks at Carrie Bradshaw) Who told you?

Nina: (scoffs) You just did.

Kim: (directly to Nina) You. Peed. On. Me!

Nina: Who peed on you?

Kim: YOU!

Nina: (opens eyes) I did? When did I do that?

Kim: This morning! You had a seizure! You were writhing on the ground on Palani Drive! For like a minute! You lost control of EVERYTHING! You peed on me and then two more times on the way to the vet! You were stiff for like a minute then you went limp!

Nina: (yawns) You're imagining things.

Kim: How dare you.

Carrie Bradshaw: (to Nina) How dare you.

Nina: Quiet "Fluffy."

Kim: Nina, don't you remember any of this?

Nina: (thinks) Is that why you left me at the vet all day today?

Kim: (exasperated) Yes!

    Beat

Kim: Do you remember any of this?

Nina: (stoically) I can neither confirm nor deny.

Kim: Whatever. The vet said you might not even recall. I guess when you have a seizure, you black out or something. Nonetheless, I have the laundry to prove it. (continues typing)

Nina: Meh.

Kim: Look, it's why the island vet-

Nina: (correcting Kim)The pretend vet.

Kim: Uhf... have it your way- put you on IVs today and monitored you. And now I need to watch you tonight in case you have another seizure. That's why they ran all those tests today.

Nina: I vaguely recall chewing a small cord taped to my arm...

Kim: THAT was the IV!

Carrie Bradshaw: (quietly to Nina) I missed you today. It was lonely without you.

Nina: Meh.

Kim: Look, you're on seizure watch tonight, then back to the vet tomorrow. For observation. They'll email Dr. Grant in California after that.

Nina: Uhf. Leave him alone.

Kim: Then quit coming up with new health issues. Real simple.

Nina: (ambles off at an angle swerving slightly and indignantly muttering to herself) "Writhing... like a fish out of water...stiff... went limp...of all the insufferable rumors to- (stops in hallway)

Kim: (worried) What's the matter?

Nina: (stops and thinks a moment) Didn't I pee on you this morning?

Carrie Bradshaw: (exasperated) Dammit!
