The road to recovery is fraught with perils mostly the result of the man doing the recovering being a lousy patient. 'Uncooperative' is a kind word for his irritable attitude, and one can only assume that either the attending physician is being promised vast sums of money or a masochist. A distant third is the possibility of being just precisely that professional.
The wounds are cleaned, stitched (again - he's pitifully grateful for the nausea's passing), and healing; the physician watches closely for signs of an infection, but so far he seems to have been spared that, at least. This doesn't make it any less uncomfortably painful, and sleep comes fitfully at best. It's an altogether unpleasant experience and Martel spends much of it flat on his stomach, 'resting', partially because the physician threatened him with further bodily harm if he does anything now to rupture his stitches again.
Onelle's messenger ought to have found Candice by now, and since discovering that the Duchess sent word to his wife the thought has occurred to Martel that he's probably going to be in trouble when she compares one note to the other.
