I stopped to visit a sister at the hospital yesterday. (I'm a guy) her husband is having a health crisis of his own and I figured that if he got to the hospital to sit with her, he was doing miserably. What I heard was that she had had a stroke and these people would really be up against the wall if she got "shut down,"
So, the door to the room was closed so I knocked and a nurse said that she was about to take some tests but that I could have a very brief visit. She swung the door open and the sister was bare-breasted in bed. She covered up quickly and we had a nice visit. She assured me that she wa doing fine and she certainly seemed fine. The last thing I said was, "I'm glad to see that you are still perky!" and I walked on out the door with the nurse's smile etched into my brain.
i seem to have a knack for saying that "just right thing."
