Elliot sat there as they worked around Jacob's leg. She nearly laughed, if you asked her a few years ago if she could sit there while her boyfriend's leg was being removed and not feel the need to vomit, she would have said no. Yet, here she was, watching the two men as they worked. She was even a little fascinated by the doctor. At one point, she did have to leave the room quickly, to grab something to eat or go to the washroom. However, she was always back as soon as possible. 

Sometime later, the two men finished giving Jacob his brand new leg and left Elliot, the doctor feeling comfortable that she was competent to take care of him. Although, he did tell her that he would be in a few times to check in on the progress. Once they left, she climbed into the bed beside Jacob and rested her head on his chest, listening to his steady breathing.
