Anita will come again tomorrow.

She just called me that she had doctors on Wednesday. And it seems that she is lucky to have the doctors taking cate of her. She had breast cancer with surgery some time ago. And now, on her controls, the doctors have discovered something weird in her lungs when they scanned her. I told her that she could come when she could and to tell me if she could not come for some time so that I could get someone to replace her. I´m glad that she has 2 grown up sons that can help her out (one of them even lives still with her). And in my country medicine is free for the less affluent people. The only trouble we have is that there are not enough hospitals and doctors for every small ailment a person can have. But when there is a big illness, people have good health care. And as ignorance many times goes hand by hand with poverty, there are social workers that go to fetch chronic patients to their houses. I wish I could have that. But on the other hand, as I have a better health insurance and more money, I can take better care of myself. Anyway, she´ll come tomorrow. I have the meat, I can mash the 2 last big potatoes but I won´t make the rice pudding. She did tell me the last time she cale that she knew how to make pancakes. Maybe I can beg her to make some. I´m making a grocery list but have no idea when to ask for groceries. I´m thinking that I should go myself and buy them. I cannot count on my little shopper as her father is very ill and she is not working. I don´t like old age, friends. My shopper´s father is blind and he once fell 3 times in a day. I can´t help but think of my friend Alejandra. She was going to accept my big living room furniture when I found a smaller place but the last time we talked she told me that she decided not to accept them. She told me that she know by the centimeter where her old furniture was and she didn´t dare move anything. Ailmens, lack of will to live and other problems are part of beong old. Not that I want to be young again. Thinking aobut it, I learnt to appreciate youth when it was gone.
