Prognosis: Forever

“I’ll be back,” she said, “I promise.”


I enjoyed their visit but was shocked when I realized that it had worn me out. Shit! I guess I really am sick after all, if lying in bed for thirty minutes doing nothing but talking to people is exhausting.Armed with that realization, I took refuge in a nap and slept until dinner was served.


AFTER I LEFT Dani’s room, I paid a visit to Malcolm, as I needed to give him a heads-up on my schedule for the next few days. Then I made my rounds in the hospital, which, since I only had two patients currently hospitalized, didn’t take long. Late in the afternoon two days later, I went to the airport to personally greet my first two visitors. I gave Grandmother her usual hug after she walked up to me, then I shook Father Rinaldo’s proffered hand.


“Thank you both for coming,” I said. “This really means a lot to me, and I’m sure it will to Dani as well.”
