The Special Ward Brightlights screamed into his eyes as he came to. He tried to sit up, but felt a strong hand push sharply on his chest forcing his back firmly onto the padded surface of the trolley. Can you hear me Mr. Wicks... You’ve had an accident, relax now. The voice echoed around inside his head. His eyes tried to focus on a shadowy female figure in white above him. As he came round, the pain arrived, centering itself on his head and leg. He groaned and forced himself to concentrate. Caused by an accident, What accident? he asked himself. The question was soon answered by the Nurse, stepping smartly next to the trolley. "Mr. Wicks, you were knocked over by a 'hit and run' driver, the police wanted to speak to you this evening, but you've been unconscious for the last three hours." She paused, waiting for any questions. None were forthcoming so she continued. "You've had a nasty bang on the head and you've rather smashed up your knee, nothing serious, but you might need surgery later on." Tommy lay quietly as the pretty girl continued. "We'll be keeping you in for a few days, maybe a week, just to make sure that everything is OK. Do you remember anything at all?" Tommy stared blankly at her for a few moments then replied; "I'm sorry, everything seems a blur.." "Don't worry," she smiled down at him, applying a reassuring pressure to his arm. "You'll remember everything in a couple of days." His pretty Nurse introduced him to the Ward Sister who instructed a couple of young Orderlies to look after him. Tommy found himself being lifted into a corner bed in a small room of three. The girls pulled the curtain across and proceeded to undress him. Under normal circumstances he might have found this rather exciting, if not slightly bizarre, but in his present condition even being undressed was an extremely painful operation. Although his left knee was wrapped in plaster, his whole leg and lower torso was very tender. He moaned softly, gritting his teeth while the young Nurses finished their task. Tommy's nightmare really began the next morning. As he returned to life from sleep, he lay still for a few moments, trying to get his bearings. He had had a strange dream that he'd been swimming in a vast sea with nothing on the horizon in any direction. The dream had been vivid and at first, tranquil and pleasant, But as he continued to swim in no particular direction, fatigue and panic had set in. Slowly but surely, he'd found himself sinking. The realization of death by slow drowning had brought him out of the Nightmare and into this unknown environment. As the moments past, memories of the previous evening came flooding back, the Nurse, the Ward and the young orderlies who had undressed him. His bed felt familiar, a memory from a previous time. It didn't need his wandering hand to discover that the bed clothes were soaking wet. The warm, damp feeling was surrounding his body. He felt that this should disturb him, but strangely it didn't. A reminiscent vein appeared, breaking through the veil of amnesia. He recalled his own flat, and the daily routine of washing the sheets. His mind became a hive of activity, Tommy had to force many thoughts away to concentrate on his present situation. Of course, he was a chronic bedwetter. He had been for as long as he could remember. Nothing had worked, nothing had cured him. It was just a fact of life. Washing the bedclothes everyday was an normal chore. As recollections pored into his mind, he suddenly realized that he wasn't at home, this wasn't his bed and he'd never had the problem of taking his embarrassing incontinence away from his own secure surroundings. A cup of tea rattled on the bed-side table and the slim middle-aged Ward Sister smiled down at him. "Good Morning Mr. Wicks, did you sleep well...how are you feeling?" Her bright composition didn't last long as Tommy stuttered his reply. "I'm ..I'm sorry err Sister, I appear to have.. err.. wet the bed.." Her reaction was unpredictable and startled him considerably. "You must be mistaken Mr. Wicks. No-one wets the bed on my ward, that only happens on the children's ward." A dry. cold hand rested on his brow, her icy voice took on a threatening tone. "You would have told me last night if you had a problem in that direction, wouldn't you?" She didn't wait for his reply but quickly moved on to the next bed. Ten minutes later a young nurse approached the bed and without looking at him, picked up his half-finished cup of tea. Tommy plucked up courage, reading her name off the ID. tag on her chest and boldly stepped into the breach again. "Err.. excuse me Nurse Wilson, err don't go.." The girl turned around. "Yes Mr. Wicks, I'm very busy you know?" Tommy cleared his throat, "I've had.. had an accident," he stammered at her, feeling his face crimson over. The Nurse waited, impatience evidently in her eyes. "I've wet the bed you know, I'm sorry...could you please change the sheets?" he pleaded. He raised his arms as she pulled back the bed covers exposing his naked form lying on the sodden, stained bed linen. Frowning, she replaced the blankets. "There's nothing in your condition that would suggest a bladder problem, be honest with me, this is not a new experience is it?" she enquired. "Tommy sighed deeply and shook his head. "I'm sorry, I've been wetting the bed for as long as I can remember.." The girls voice took on an angry tone, "why didn't you tell the staff last night when you were admitted?" He blushed deeply. "I never envisaged ending up in hospital, did I?" He started to get slightly hysterical. "Surely I've not committed an offence..." The Nurse pushed down gently on his shoulder, placating him slightly. "Calm yourself Mr. Wicks, now tell me.. Do you normally wet the bed every night?" Tommy wiped an imaginable tear away, and mumbled into his chest. "No, it only happens about once or twice a month." He lied, "What's all the fuss about anyway!" He was upset now, shouting at her. "When the hell are you going to change the sheets!" The Nurse was annoyed at the loud, aggressive tone and noticed the other occupants of the ward were staring in their direction. She was getting very angry now. "Shh.. Mr. Wicks," she hissed at him. "you are behaving like a little brat in more ways than one!" The girl gained confidence on seeing his ego rapidly deflating. She leaned over the bed and whispered in his ear. "Little Boy, don't pee in the bed tonight will you!" The scorn in her voice cut him to the core. "And Little Boy, your soiled sheets might be changed tonight, if you behave yourself and remain silent for the rest of the day." Tommy spent the rest of the day lying in the damp sheets. The shameful thing was that he couldn't do anything about it. All the Ward staff were aware of his hidden secret. It made him feel dirty, childish, and guilty. What the hell is going on here, he wondered to himself. Most of the day he worried and fretted, feeling dirty lying on the damp, smelly sheets. The Ward staff came and went, bringing him meals, drinks and medications. Each time, they had that all- knowing grin. "Do you want anything else...Sir?" The sarcasm was obvious and left him feeling furious and humiliated. "He was awakened from a shallow sleep by the clatter of the curtain being pulled around the bed. Three Nurses circled the bed, two of whom he recognized as his tormentors during the day, the other he didn't. Nurse Wilson introduced her. "Mr. Wicks, this is Nurse Sally.." Tommy stared at her tall, slender form. She was dressed very differently from the others, who wore the usual hospital blue tunics. Nurse Sally had a tailored light brown dress, with a petite white starched cap perched on top of her silky blond hair. She was devastatingly beautiful with big blue eyes that bounced around his aroused mind. "Hello Tommy, may I call you Tommy?" Nurse Sally smiled at him. Nervous and shy in front of this divine creature, it took a great effort on Tommy's part to even nod his head, he continued to stare at her. Nurse Sally slowly tied a white rubber apron around her waist, the movement exaggerating the full firm breasts beneath her tunic. "I'm from the special ward Tommy," Sally glanced at the other two Nurses and then returned her eyes to his own. They tell me that you've got a bed wetting problem Tommy, is this true?" Tommy blushed deeply and blustered back at her. "Well, not exactly.. I mean, sometimes.." Tommy changed onto the offensive, "What is the 'Special Ward' anyway? Nurse Sally slowly pulled the bedcovers back, overcoming a minor rebellious resistance by the patient. She dropped them on the floor at the end of the bed. Now, not only was he exposed in a most humiliating manner to these three strange women, but he was dreadfully aware of his penis being in almost a full state of arousal. The two Ward Nurses were smiling as Nurse Sally lightly traced a path with her hand up his thigh, finally coming to rest with a feathered touch on his scrotum. "If you wet the bed tonight Tommy, the Ward Sister will transfer you to the Special Ward," she stated quietly. Her finger drew circles around his belly button, dangerously close to the tip of his now throbbing manhood. Something in Tommy snapped, he'd been treated like a third class citizen for the last 24 hours, his broken body on open show, being forced to lie on damp, smelly sheets and this final display of wanton subjugation caused his blood to boil. "How dare you all...get out," he screamed. "I want my clothes, I want them now!" Tommy swiped at Nurse Sally's hand and made painful contact. She winced and rapidly withdrew from the bed. "I have never been treated like this in my life before!" Saliva spat out of his mouth as he glared at Nurse Wilson. "I'm discharging myself and I want my clothes now." He shouted out the last three words causing the three girls to look startled at each other. Nurse Sally quickly came to their rescue. "Of course Tommy, hush now, all we want to do is one more X-ray and then, if you feel so inclined, you are free to discharge yourself. OK?" That mollified him slightly and realizing that he had the upper hand, pressed home his attack. His dark eyes blazed away at Sally, who, like the others, was looking decidedly pale. "After this bloody X-ray, I want an immediate interview with the hospital director, do I make myself clear?" He glared at the girls, feeling very smug that finally he had the upper hand. The Nurses were frightened now, realizing that there jobs were on the line. Tommy even managed a satisfied smirk. Nurse Sally, acting as the spokeswoman, forced a smile to her lips. "Of course Tommy, I'll see him myself after the X-ray. A wheelchair was produced and the Nurses helped Tommy into a dressing gown. With modesty recovered, Tommy felt slightly happier and cooperated with this beautiful girl from the 'special ward', what ever that was. Nurse Sally, with a knowing look at the other two girls, wheeled Tommy out of the ward and into a lift. "Are you sure that this is the way to X-ray? Tommy turned round in his chair, suspicion etched across his brow. The elevator had deposited them in the basement and Nurse Sally was wheeling him down a cold draughty corridor. The sound of kitchens and laundry departments were clearly audible and the occasional ancillary worker passed by. "Won't be long now Tommy," Sally pressed a firm hand on his shoulder. "Look; we're here already." She unlocked a large brown door and guided the wheelchair into a brightly lit room, locking the door behind her. Tommy jumped painfully in his chair, panic showing in his eyes. "What's going on, bring me my clothes..."he screamed fearfully, he had been duped. This was no X-ray Department, he should have realized that as soon as they arrived in the basement. He started shouting obscenities at Sally, throwing his arms up. They were in a small coffee shop, a Maxpax machine stood in the corner and half a dozen chairs were arranged around two tables. Ducking his flailing arms, she rapidly pushed the chair towards double blue swing doors at the end of the room, Sally pressed a bell and waved through a glass porthole at someone on the other side. Tommy panicked, and attempted to rise. With his good leg, he heaved himself out of the chair and turned to escape. A strong hand round his neck pulled and wenched him back in his chair. He wailed with pain as his leg took most of the trauma and started screaming violent threats at her. Nurse Sally expelled a long sigh of relief as the door was opened and she pushed her vehement patient into the 'Special Ward' Tommy felt a slight prick as another Nurse injected a sedative into his arm while a struggling Sally tried to keep him still. The tranquilizer had an immediate effect and although remaining conscious, he have no control over his muscles; in fact, he couldn't even speak. "How long will it last?" asked Sally, still shaking from her ordeal. Her colleague shrugged her shoulders. "Oh, an hour, maybe two. He's a small lad so it will probably be about Six before he recovers full mobility. We better get him padded up before he loses control, that's normal with this drug." They managed easily to lay him out on the changing table. Although Tommy couldn't see what they were doing, his sense of feel was certainly not impaired. Every touch seemed to be amplified, that certainly applied to the pain in his knee. He moaned softly as they arranged his limbs on the plastic surface. A voice called out from somewhere behind him. "Can I help please Julie?" pleaded a young female. "Get back into bed this instant Sam or you'll find yourself lying on this table next." Sally's colleague spoke sternly to her, like one would threaten a naughty child, thought Tommy. It certainly worked. He heard running feet and the bouncing of bed-springs. Tommy looked at Julie, she was dressed in the same manner as Sally but where was she when they were giving out the good looks, he thought unkindly. She was under five feet with short black hair and judging by her shape, certainly enjoyed the richer things in life. The girls removed the gown, leaving him naked on the plastic surface, every touch grated on his nerves and their busy hands felt like hot coals. His thighs were pulled apart and cold cream was rubbed into his most intimate parts. He didn't have the strength nor even the will to object, but just lay there groaning. "He smells a bit," commented Julie, lifting his hips as Sally slid a thick nappy underneath. "I know," Sally replied. "That lazy crowd up in Orthopedic left him lying in filthy sheets all day. We'll wash him in the morning, that will give him time to acclimatize himself to his new home." She tucked a liner under his bottom and pulled the front of the nappy up, covering his genitals and pinning it at each side of his hips. Julie held out a pair of waterproof pants. "No, silly," laughed Sally. "Fetch the side fastening ones, those won't fit over the plaster!" When the rubber pants were snugly in place, Tommy felt himself being lowered down onto cool, cotton sheets and a light duvet was pulled across him. He was very sleepy and felt a comforting sense of security drift over himself. He wasn't aware of a muted rumbling coming from under the quilt. "Just in time Sal," grinned Julie. Sally stroked his hair. "I'm happy just to see him sleeping, he's had a rough deal over the last two days. Starting tomorrow, we must make sure that he's given the opportunity of the 'full treatment'." Julie raised her eyebrows, "Full treatment?" "Yes Darling, replied Sally. "We only need loyal, happy patients here. I certainly don't want another 'rebel' on the ward like Gareth. That poor boy never had the opportunity to love anybody in his life." Sally turned and addressed the only other member of the ward. "Sam Darling, time for your bath, hurry up now." Sam scampered up and took Sally's hand while Julie secured the bars around Tommy's bed. "Come on Sleepy head, wake up!" Tommy heard Sally's voice and came out of his sleep. "I've brought you a nice cup of tea." She helped him sit up and placed the cup in his hand. He sipped the hot brew automatically, satisfying his unusual thirst. "So this is the Special Ward," he said breaking the uncomfortable silence between them. "How long am I to stay here?" She noticed a note of resignation and bitterness in his voice. Sally sat on the bed and touched his arm. "Tommy Darling, We want what you want and I think we both know what that is." Her kind tone stirred something deep inside him and he gazed into her smiling eyes. "What do you mean?" He asked. "Have you anyone at home who really cares about you? I mean, really cares in every sense of the word?" She cupped his chin and guided his eyes to look at hers. His silence answered her question and his eyes watered over. "Tommy, here in the Special Ward, we care," Sally said earnestly. "All we want from you is the opportunity to show that we care, and in return, your short stay with us will be the happiest of your life, I promise you that sincerely...." "Thank you Sally, that was the nicest thing that anyone has ever said to me." His voice was heavy with emotion. "But why the Special Ward, why the cots, and these.." Both hands reached down and stroked the front of his Rubber covered Nappy. "We don't pretend to be able to cure incontinence here but nine times out of ten, when you return a patient to childhood, you soon become aware of the cause and then you can start dealing with the 'guilt'." Sally paused to allow her explanation to sink in. Tommy had a look of puzzled concentration on his brow. She smiled at him. "Darling, don't fret about it, after a few days, soon you'll begin to understand a lot more. Everyday, in fact, every hour that your here, will give each of us a wonderful opportunity of learning a great deal about each other and about ourselves. We have no inhibitions or shame here. Guilt is like an 'ugly toad' that we throw out of the window." Tommy found himself smiling along with here, "Do you understand Darling?" She stroked his cheek, Tommy found her tenderness flowing into him. Subconsciously, he held her hand against his lips and kissed her. She gently pulled her hand away and patted his padded rubber loins. "We better get you changed before Breakfast, you've been in these smelly things all night." Tommy immediately crimsoned over and looked like a small boy, ready to cry. She frowned at him. "What's wrong Darling?" she asked. "I'm sorry," he burst into tears. "It's just that I feel so ashamed!" She gently wiped the tears of his cheek and softly reminded him of the all important rules. No shame, guilt or inhibitions were allowed in the Special Ward! With the minimum of fuss she changed him. It's his first big test, she thought, if he copes with this, he'll cope with anything. She pulled the soiled nappy away and dropped them in a pail at the end of the bed. Tommy still had that childish look of dread and terror on his face which fortified her conviction that he had experienced an unhappy childhood. Hopefully in a few days his face will paint a very different picture. Tenderly, she washed and applied cream to his sore bottom. Eventually, after fresh waterproof pants had been stretched around a clean nappy, he managed a weak smile and a 'thank you'. It wasn't until Sally had wheeled the changing trolley away that he had his first glimpse of 'Sam'. His mouth fell open at the sight of her. He wasn't a total innocent but the sight of this young girl dressed only in Nappies sent a hot flush around his body. She was sitting on her bed watching the Breakfast show on TV. Sam looked up at him and smiled. Totally oblivious that he was staring at her half naked body, she got up and approached his cot. "Hi!", she greeted him with a big smile. "My name's Sam, it's short for Samantha, your called Tommy, aren't you?" He liked her immediately, her fresh young complexion mirrored her nature and he returned her smile warmly. "Yes, that's right, and it's short for Thomas!" They laughed together and spent the next twenty minutes with small talk. They had a lot in common and Tommy warmed to her immensely. She was seventeen and had been a patient here for the last five weeks. It saddened Tommy to know that she was being discharged in three days time. She explained that it was time she re-entered the big bad world outside. "You mean you can leave here when ever you want?" He had asked. "Of course Silly, it's not a mental asylum you know," she laughed at him. "But I'll miss this place, especially Sally and Julie, they've been like the mothers I never had," she added sadly. "What about the Nappies, will you miss them?" Tommy impishly demanded, a sly grin on his face. Sam blushed and giggled. "Yes and no, I'll miss having someone like Julie always around to change them, but I'll certainly be wearing them at home." He reached out and touched her hand. "Sam, have you any friends?" he asked. She dropped her eyes and returned a squeeze to his fingers. "No, not many, I was really mixed up when I first arrived here, people thought I was a bit crazy and a loner. The Nurses here were so kind and loving that I eventually changed my whole attitude to life. I now feel like I've been reborn again." Tommy was moved by her frank admission. He leant forward and touched one of her breasts, cupping it lightly in his hand. "Sam, your a beautiful girl...I would like to be your friend, that is if you want me." Tommy said heavily, his eyes not moving from her own. Sam responded by kissing him on the mouth. Footsteps at the end of the bed brought them out of their passion. Blushing they both looked up at a smiling Sally who was holding out two bowls of Breakfast cereal. "Come on you two lovebirds, time enough for that later but now you've both got two finish your Breakfast, Tommy do you like toast?" Nurse Julie arrived at mid-morning and after a short conference with Sally they approached the two patients. Sally pushed a hand under Tommy's rubber pants and found him wet. "Time for the Morning Change, Darling, wait there." She returned with the trolley and all three girls helped lift him onto the changing table. He was apprehensive about Sam helping in this still embarrassing operation but her eyes showed real affection and there was no malice in her pretty smile. Everyone helped remove the wet waterproofs and sodden nappies and strangely enough, Tommy felt no shame at his enforced nakedness. While Julie and Sally were washing his genitals, Sam was openly admiring his body. With no constraint at all, she pushed a hand through a busy sponge and towel and cupped his sexual organs. They smiled at one another. "Tommy," she said. "You've got a beautiful body, you know. You don't mind me touching it, do you?" He felt his penis grow under her light touch and within seconds it was straining the air. "Sam, you can touch me whenever you like," He laughed. "Only please don't stop, whatever you do." Sally finished drying him and smiled at his aroused state; She stated pulling on a disposable plastic glove. "Tommy, I'm going to give you a little internal examination but I don't want you to be worried at all, in fact I think you're going to find it very pleasant indeed!" Tommy did look worried, especially when Sally covered her protected index finger with lubricating jelly. Julie lifted his right leg and placed it in a stirrup. Sam, clutching his moist penis reassured him with a quick kiss on his lips. "Don't fret Tommy, were going to release all those nasty tensions out of you, lie back Darling and relax.." she cooed at him. Sally gently, but firmly pushed a finger deep into his rectum and moved it around slowly. The sensation was magnificent. He screwed up his eyes as he felt Sam take his throbbing cock deep into his mouth. From somewhere deep within his loins he sensed the pulsating arrival of a veracious explosion. At the moment of oblivion, his burning penis was freed from Sam's mouth and a ferocious orgasm left his body. He screamed with pleasure as irrepressible sperm splattered everywhere, coating his face, hair and running in tracks down his chest. Never in his entire life had he experienced an orgasm quite as turbulent as that. Even Sally was surprised. She left her finger in place for a few moments while Tommy descended gently down to earth again. While they bathed and pinned a nappy on Tommy again, he maintained a constant smile on his face. He'd never been so happy in his life and he laughed and joked with his Nurses. They moved the changing table closer to his cot so he could watch Sam being changed. Nurse Sally was a little cross with Sam on discovering that she was wet, claiming that she should have asked for the potty. "That's what all this potty training's for," she scolded lightly. Julie laughed. "It's only because she want's Tommy to see her getting the same treatment, nobody likes being left out! Come on Sam, lift your bottom!" she ordered. Tommy watched mesmerized as Sam's pants and nappies were stripped off, revealing this lovely girl's superb body. Sally pulled her patients thighs apart so Tommy could examine and absorb Sam's hairless vagina. He found his breaths coming in short gasps as the blood started rushing around his body, feeling the now familiar stirring of his swelling sex in his tight nappy. When Sam had been washed and dried off Sally cooed in baby talk at him. "Nurse is just going to take her Babies nappy off again and then we are going for a cup of coffee." She reached under the folds of toweling and touched his hard member. Tommy found himself pushing his hips up to meet her hand. "Good, baby's ready." Sally said smiling. As she withdrew her hand, Tommy frowned. Sally reassured him. "Hush child, save it for Sam." She undressed him and accepted the offered contraceptive from Julie, which she deftly rolled onto his excited cock. "We'll be back later, you two have a good time!" Sally grinned at them and discretely left the room with her colleague. When they were alone, Sam jumped off the table and stood at the side of the cot, her slim thighs inches from his face. They studied each other silently, emotions flowing between them. God, she's got a beautiful body, thought Tommy. He slowly maneuvered a hand between her knees and crept upwards. Sam had to support herself on the headboard as her legs weakened and her thighs parted. His bold fingers reached the apex of her groin and immediately they were covered in a warm sticky fluid. Tommy felt inside her, and her love juices rolled down the inside of his hand. They watched each other quietly as he deliberately sucked on his fingers and then returned them to her sublime vulva. She moaned softly, bending her knees to permit unhindered access and allowing his fingers to explore even further. Pushing his hand through, he reached her rear orifice, allowing a moist finger to trace light circles around her anus. He pulled her forward over the mattress, making her position herself astride his chest. Sam slid down until she perched across his swollen penis. She sat up, and guided his hot cock to the mouth of her vagina. She stayed there for a moment or two, relishing the fullness of his glands in her. Slowly she subsided onto him, shuddering as a thick seven inches greased into vagina. She rested heavily on his crotch, feeling his wiry pubic hairs on her smooth vulva. Feasting on this delightful intrusion which was pressing on her cervix, she started a slow bounce, enjoying the overwhelming sensation of pleasure flooding across her body. Tommy smiled up at her, although his desire was strong, his penis was stilled dulled so soon after sex and he was experiencing intercourse with a much increased perpetuation. He gazed at Sam, her eyes closed and gradually relishing the act of love. Her firm breasts bounced gently on her perspiring chest. "More, Darling give me more!" she screamed as her orgasm flashed over her eyes. Her wailing reached a crescendo as she wallowed the intense spasm of excitement. Tommy cried out in pain as her sharp nails tore tiny trenches in his chest. Sam, puffing heavily, laughed and dropped forward to kiss him on the mouth. "Darling, that was heavenly...but you haven't come?" She climbed off and sat on the edge of the mattress, handling his still firm penis. She didn't wait for him to answer, but climbed over him again, pushing her feet under his shoulders. He watched fascinated as she slowly lowered her bottom onto his face. Her sex, now smelling sweetly of love, floated over his mouth. Tommy edged his tongue into her wet fanny, quickly feeling her prominent clitoris. At this contact, she dropped heavily onto him and squeezed with her thighs. Tommy was in the clouds, all his senses were surrounded by her glorious sex. The function of breathing became unimportant as his nose slotted against her rosebud and his mouth was superimposed by her pussy. Sam let him enjoy the queening for a minute, pleasuring in the stimulation of her clitoris, before bending down to take his rubber coated cock into her mouth. Her fingers felt the orgasm coming and they dug deeply into the prostrate at the final moment. His hips shivered as the spasms racked his groin, and Sam felt the violet ejaculation hit the rubber at the back of her throat. Her own orgasm followed immediately, and they both cried out simultaneously. Sally smiled as she spoon-fed his lunch, his food had been put through a processor and although tasty, he showed minor rebellion by pointing out that Sam was sitting at a table and eating by herself. Also she didn't have to wear a bib! "Tommy!," Sally said crossly, "Sam is leaving us in two days time, she should be able by now to eat by herself." "But I can eat by my self as well," he retorted. Sally sighed and put down the spoon. "Darling, as I explained this morning; we're going to return you to childhood. First to Infancy and then to the toddler stage. Sam has grown up now. She's ready to make her own way in the world outside this room. She couldn't have done that before." Sally patiently explained. "Am I an Infant now then?" he asked, slight hurt showing in his voice. "No Sweetheart, we must take you much lower than this, maybe in two days time. When your a new baby, we'll be looking after you like a brand new baby." Tommy looked confused and she tried to explain: "We will take you down quite quickly, hence the feeding procedure and the Castor Oil you'll be receiving after lunch..." "Castor Oil?" he interrupted. Sally smiled at him. "Yes Darling, Little Babies always use their nappies to the full, don't they? We want your natural functions to behave like an Infant's would. Do you understand?" Sally waited for an answer. Tommy nodded his head glumly, and accepted the next spoon of Cottage Pie. "Supposing I don't want to take any Castor Oil," he said with his mouth full, wondering how far he could push this beautiful woman. Sally pushed another load of food into his mouth and Her eyes darkened over slightly. "There are always Enemas, Catheters, tranquilizers...need I go on?" Her tone softened, "Darling, please don't fight me, the Infancy stage will only last a week and then you grow up slowly to the Toddler stage and beyond.. You remember what I talked about this morning?" Tommy nodded. They finished the meal in silence, both with their own thoughts. Sally smiled smugly to herself as he meekly took his Castor Oil. Tommy's happy stay in the Special Ward passed all to quickly. Discovering all sorts of revelations about himself, he threw himself into the training that his Mentors had prepared for him. The 'Morning Change' took on a new significance and he looked forward to the event with great anticipation. Gradually the Ward filled up with new patients, all with the same problems and fears as he had first experienced. When finally the plaster was removed from his leg, the Nurses had two weeks of intensive Potty Training to prepare him for the outside World. Even with their increased Workload, Sally and Julie were sad to see him go and on his final morning when a bright and breezy Sam waltzed in to collect him, both Nurses burst into tears. When everyone had recovered, Sally hugged Sam and Tommy and wished them all the best. "Everything ready at home?" asked Julie, with a knowing smile on her face. "Tommy's surprise is a secret," scolded Sally. "Let them go!" Everyone laughed except Tommy and he looked completely mystified. Sam, pulling him by the arm, led him through the blue swing doors...
