It was also Kathlyn’s home town. Once Dr. Ball had cleaned up her wound and made sure she was out of danger, they moved on to the next step of rehabilitating the leg. It had taken some weeks, but by late spring, things were coming along quite nicely and Kathlyn had proven to be a rotten patient. They told her to take it easy and all she wanted to do was go back to where she had been before all of this happened. It was like trying to tie down a cloud. Marcus and Kathlyn had rented a nice apartment in the Studio City suburbs of Los Angeles. Not only was it near the clinic where Kathlyn had been having weekly rehab, but it was also near the medical center where Marcus' father was having radiation treatments for lung cancer. The spot on Al Burton’s lungs had been cancer and he’d had his left lung removed about the time Kathlyn was recuperating in Dallas. It had been a tremendous strain on Marcus, wanting to stay with his wife yet wanting to be with his father. Now, with Kathlyn in almost finished with rehab for her leg, he could do both.
