Friday last week: second annual check-up with husband's doctor. First time with him was in old facility last year day before presidential caucus. This time he's in new Grecian temple-on-the-prairie facility landscaped in dropseeds and Russian sage, deco wheelchairs parked behind auto sliding glass foyer doors leading to double-story floor-to-ceiling glass pillared waiting room trimmed in steel, floored in white ceramic tile, textured by stripes of same in shiny coat. No television. Dwelling on leatherette ottoman with Signo Uniball 207 and green-tint steno book watching moms and dads come and go while waiting for time defiant doctor running an hour behind who will visit with the calm of afternoon tea.
Best test result (cost $150): HDL cholesterol over 100 mg/DL. New family history: mild dementia. Forgoing: mammogram (insurance). Keeping watch: odd cycles of womb. Primary concern: 3:00 AM.
Lately on channel 3:00: Watergate, mother recovering from hysterectomy on couch, reading Judy Blume paperback borrowed from one of the other courtyard girls.
