It was a busy morning. At around 8:30 am,an old man in his 80s arrived to have his stitches(缝线) taken out from his hand. I asked if he had a doctor's appointment(预约). He said no but he was busy,because he had a 9:00 am appointment. I asked him to take a seat and told him that it would be over an hour before someone could see him.
Then I noticed him looking at his watch time and time again,and I wasn't busy at that time. So I decided to check his wound(伤口). After checking,I saw his hand was getting better. I got the tools to take out the stitches and dressed the wound again. While taking care of him,we started to have a talk. I asked him why he was in a hurry. He said he needed to get to the old people's home to have breakfast with his wife. I then asked about her health. He shared that she had been there for a while.
As we talked and I finished dressing his wound,I asked if his wife would be angry if he was a little late. He answered that she couldn't remember him,and that she hadn't known him for five years. I was surprised and asked,"And you still go every morning,even though she doesn't know who you are?"He smiled and replied,"She may not know me,but I still know who she is . "
