Catherine
was dreaming of John. She could feel the warmth of his breath on her cheeks. It
felt so good. He was such a relaxed person. She wanted to hug him and hold him
forever. The one thing that was preventing all of this to happen was that leg
of his.
“John, I’d like to talk to you
about your leg. I’d like to help you, because you helped me on that rainy day,
when I couldn’t find my car keys. If you hadn’t come to my rescue we would have
never meet. I don’t remember the details of your accident; would you please
refresh my memory?” She asks.
John
tells her how he was working a power drill press and needed a piece of Iron and
tripped over some pipes that were on the floor. It broke his leg in several
places and it affected his muscles. The doctor who helped him didn’t do a very
good job. He said he didn’t want to go through that pain again. She asked if it
would be okay if she could talk to her surgeon and doctor about him.
“I have contacts with
physicians in my kind of work.” she said. She was a physical therapist.
“He said he would think about
it and let me know, do you have any insurance?” Catherine asked.
John said “Yes I have very good
insurance.”
“How about sick days?” She asked.
“I have three weeks coming to
me. Don’t forget I have to think about this. I have to go now. I’ve got some
paper work I need to do tonight.” He explained.
“Call me when you have an
answer” Catherine said.
Two days later he called her
and she wanted to know how he was. He said he was still undecided.
“Would you feel better if you
talked to someone else, like maybe your father or mother?” Catherine asked.
John
thought about it and said he was willing to go to his parents’ farm and talk to
them and get their opinion. Catherine decided to tell him with a peaceful mind
that she had talked to the surgeon and doctor. They said they would be more
than happy to look at his leg. Catherine asked if she could go along. He said
no next time we went, she could.
