Chapter 556
John explains to Martha the reason the painkillers are not very affective to relieve the Doctor’s pain from his broken femur: it is the way his nerves are wired in his body. A fractured femur causes intense physical pain as well as neurological pain. The Doctor’s nerve and pain receptors are overtaxed causing him to go into respiratory bypass, a very scary thing when you’re conscious. John tells Martha and Gwen and Phil that the Doctor told him in Gallifreyan that it hurts and he couldn’t (perhaps withstand the pain). The other term, Garanschidt is the “little bit of shock absorbing bone at the end of his long bones.”
John explains the reason why he can’t talk in Gallifrey the way the Doctor can is because his throat is that of a human’s and that he may teach Jacko how to write and read Gallifreyan when he’s older. There’s also discussion of getting Legos for Jacko and the adults, and having a taller walker made for Michael to build his legs up. Jacko’s birthday is in June and will starting infant school in September, Jacko’s reading level is that of a child of seven or eight years old.

He earns about £25,000 more a year teaching the piano, and has three albums recorded he receives around £50,000 a year royalties on the royalties for recordings. Rose receives her salary plus about 3 million a year in shares from Vitex. John’s three piano recordings have made the top ten in Classical Music. Talking about his finances, John realizes that Rose took care of mundane tasks like bill paying and has to leave the ward.
