wondered if all the strangers they’d been seeing could actually know each other somehow. If they did, why didn’t they sit with each other? Or talk to each other? Could they be casing us for a robbery? There’s been, what, five of these men today and two a week or so ago? It seemed to Tarc like a lot of men to just to rob one tavern, but he had to admit that he didn’t know much about the robbery business.
Daum sighed, “I don’t like th ose strangers. I think you did the right thing not demanding the money, though I wish you’d tried to take their plates away from him like you’re supposed to.”
Tarc nodded, feeling embarrassed.
“We’ll wait till the deputies get here and ask for our money when we have a little backup.” Daum turned to look at Tarc pensively, “It looks like your mom has you seein’ a few patients?”
Tarc nodded.
Daum grinned, “Does she know you can move things yet?”
Tarc nodded again. “She says you can move things and she can feel them but neither of you can do both?”
Daum nodded at that.
Tarc grinned at him, “She’s a little pissed you didn’t tell her.”
He smirked, “I thought it’d be a nice surprise.”
Tarc shrugged, feeling a little embarrassed, but also a proud to be able to do something his parents couldn’t. “She and I are supposed to talk to Denny as soon as I get back so I’d better go.”
His dad nodded, so Tarc headed back to the kitchen. Eva was poking at the fire. She glanced up, “Hand me a couple more pieces of wood and we’ll go talk to Denny.”
When they had seated themselves across from Denny, Eva set a large glass of water down in front of her. She took Denny’s hand and said, “Tarc told me about your problem.” Closing her eyes, she said, “Let me think a moment.”
Knowing his mother probably wasn’t thinking, but instead using her ghost to examine Denny, Tarc sent his own ghost down there, wondering if he could tell that his mother’s ghost was there. Denny’s bladder had virtually nothing in it. The little bit of fluid that was there seemed more viscous than the urine in his own bladder felt. He couldn’t tell his mother’s ghost was there so he quickly sent his ghost back and forth from one woman to the other, comparing the structures in Denny to the same structures in his mother. Denny’s bladder walls were definitely thicker than his mother’s. Other structures seemed much the same, although the structure right behind the bladder seemed to be larger in his mother than it was in Denny. He’d have to look in the anatomy book and find out what that structure was. He wondered why the bladder walls were thicker in Denny, then thought of the signs of infection which included swelling. Maybe the walls of the bladder were swollen from the infection? The other three signs were redness, heat, and tenderness. His ghost didn’t tell him anything about color but he already knew her bladder was tender from when he’d tugged on it before. He knew he could feel heat and so he sent his ghost back to Denny’s bladder. It is warmer! he thought excitedly.
His mother blinked her eyes open and gave Denny a serious look. “You have an infection in your urine Denny.”
Denny’s eyes widened and she gasped.
Eva smiled reassuringly and made calming motions with her hands. “I know infections can be really terrible, but infections in the urine can often be treated, so don’t panic.” Eva went on to talk to Denny about drinking fluids and eating cranberries. She told Denny to start by drinking the big glass of water Eva had just set in front of her and to drink 6 to 8 more each day. She glanced at her son, knowing he would be embarrassed, then turned back to Denny, “And, you and Joe should stop having sex until you’re better.”
Denny blushed as her eyes darted over to Tarc and then back to his mother. She looked a little pinched, then whispered, “Joe won’t be happy.”
Eva sighed, “Yes, men really like sex.” She
