Dean recovering from back surgery/relearning to walk! 4422shini March 15 2011, 22:47:53 UTC
I pulled this from my 'never going to finish' fic pile. Gen preferred, but do whatever you'd like :)

Dean has a death grip on the bars at his side, knuckles white. He wills his legs to walk, and it's hard and hurts and god damnit, why does a minor back injury have to effect everything else in his body.

He lets out a growl and feels a bead of sweat escape down the side of his face. Walking should not be this difficult.

The physical therapist, Rodney, hovers in front of him, arms out to catch him if he falls. “Just one more step.”

After a ridiculous amount of concentration, Dean manages to move his right foot the last step to the end of the bars. As sad as it is, a wave of triumph over comes him and he lets out a breath he's been holding.

Abruptly, his legs buckle out from under him and Rodney catches Dean before he collapses to the ground. He drags Dean the two feet to his parked wheel chair and helps him sit.
