“Everything ok?” a voice from the corner of the elevator inquired. If she hadn’t spoken, I wouldn’t have even noticed that she was there because I was so completely absorbed in my own thoughts. I realized that she must have seen me coming out of the same doctor’s office that she had just been in.
“Yes, thank you” I replied. “You?” I felt it was the only appropriate response although I also thought it strange to have been asked about a potentially private matter by a complete stranger in the first place. Boundaries my friends. Boundaries.
“Well, I can’t seem to remember things, so they took a picture of my brain to see if they could figure out why.”
“Oh. Well, I hope it turns out okay” I offered.
“Well, it’s okay if it doesn’t because I won’t remember anyway.” She chirped.
Remarkable.
