Question

Another Conversation

I’m filling in for a friend on vacation. I had the pleasure of seeing one of her patients, a resident at a local Assisted Living Facility. She had a small lesion removed from her chest and had stitches. I am there to clean and redress those stitches. Mary is 92.

Mary: How much longer do I have to keep a bandage on?

Cyn : Until your stitches come out.

Mary: When is that?

Cyn : On Thursday.

Mary: This bandage showing makes it hard to get a man, you know. It’s hard at my age.

Will I have a scar?

Cyn : Maybe a small one, but it’s in a wrinkle, I don’t think you’ll be able to see it in a

few days.

Mary : The old guys don’t mind the wrinkles, but they don’t like bandages. This is

cramping my style.

Answer 5

I feel the same as Mary... except with me it's not bandages... it's fat, and it won't peel off.

Answer 6

I am laughing .. thank you ..

You are showing me what I am missing,

sitting here at my desk instead of being with my lovelies at the home !

My first thought was to say no to your question as I am not allowed to chat on yahoo answers... but your conversation did catch me well of guard!

Answer 7

Answer 10

I had an interesting conversation with my twin sister yesterday.

She and I were in the park and about to leave when I stopped and kept looking around. We were all alone and it was about 8:00 a.m. Still cool enough to be comfortable before the day warmed up to what everyone else calls "beautiful", but what I call sunshine overkill. To help you understand the conversation, I'll let you know that I pretty much belong back in the 50s and 60s. I act like I'm Bobby Darin, own a working record player and a rotary phone, and call everyone "kid", even if they're older than me.

Myself: I don't think people like me. People like the novelty of me, but they don't actually like ME.

Grace: That makes a lot of sense.

Myself: And I don't actually have emotions. I mean, I show emotions, but I don't actually feel them. I can't love. I'll never love. You will, but I won't.

Grace: Come on, let's go.

Myself: Alright.

Well, mine's not much of a "conversation", but yours was really funny. God, I've had little moments like that and I think, "This moment needs to go in a book. Someone needs to know this happened." Thank god for people like Mary.
