Joy

“Mrs. C**, how are you doing?”

She left the wheel chair in the waiting room, smiling “I’ll show you.”

She dances nimbly down the hallway to the exam room, having lost her forty pound apron a week ago. Her laughter is infectious.

“Let’s get rid of these drains.”

 

 

 

**Not her real name.

When people feel good about themselves on the outside, they are happier on the inside. Nice to be reminded of that.
