When she got the okay to go home, there were seemingly dozens of instructions. She could do anything she felt up to. She shouldn't work until getting the all clear from her neurologist. She would experience headaches, distraction, confusion, and easily tire for an indeterminate amount of time. Medicine would become a regular routine in her life: a medication that they hoped would help reduce her migraines over time and a medication that would help reduce the pain from a migraine. If she experienced prolonged auras or hallucinations, she should call her neurologist. She would continue psychologist sessions that had begun while she was in the hospital. She shouldn't drive. They should use some form of birth control until she was well enough that they could adjust her medications. That since she was a rare case, she may experience other symptoms yet to be discovered. And if any symptoms were severe, she should immediately return to the emergency room.

Though all of the instructions had been directed at Jane, it had been Kurt that had studied the print out and listened to the doctor to commit them to memory. Kurt who had ensured her every need was taken care of when she got home. And Kurt, who had quietly monitored for those symptoms that the doctor had warned had yet to be discovered.

He stopped asking "how are you feeling today?" and traded it for "what do you want to do today?" She was having regular headaches and exhaustion - leftover side effects of treating the ZIP poisoning. They didn't know how long they would last, yet they did know they wanted to spend the time they had together. Jane was benched until her symptoms could improve, and Kurt took a leave of absence to care for her.

Together, they discovered life after ZIP poisoning.
