Bucky shrugged his good shoulder and started to fuss with his oxygen line again. "I don't know..." He looked down, then back up at Steve. He opened his mouth to say more then closed it. "I'm ready to go home."
As if on cue, President Barnes stepped in. "Ready to go?" The nurse that followed her in - the one that had mostly been taking care of Bucky - bringing his food, changing his bandages - was pushing a wheelchair.
Bucky nodded. "Yeah, I am." He wanted to walk to the chair on his own, sliding to the edge of the bed and reaching up for support from Steve. He had been walking few steps around the room and even made a trek up and down the hall with support, but every time he put his left foot down pain shot through his leg. He was used to pain so he could mostly ignore it, but it did start to get to be too much after too long, and combined with his lungs still not recovered from being shot, he was limited to how far he could go at a time.
He wanted nothing more than to walk out of the hospital under his own steam, but he wanted to go home more, and sleep in his own bed and not wake up in the middle of the night because somebody else in the ward was crashing.
