The following lines were typed while waiting for my doctor to come in and discuss my latest results:
I can never get to all the pixelized candles on that screen. If you ask me, it’s way too many. I also find it fascinating that such a device can be easily plugged into a laptop via a USB port.
These appointments are a hassle, a drag, a necessary reminder of the lack of exercise in my life.
I’ve been asthmatic my whole life. I grew up accustomed to wheezing noises, all kinds of inhalers, and hospital visits for some remarkable gas that reminds me how good it feels to be able to breathe normally.
Speaking of inhalers, this is random, but do you know what’s annoying? To be in your 20s and always having to carry big enough purses to fit that thing in “just in case!”
Now? I don’t mind it as much. Late 30s and big purse, all the way. There’s even room for the Vortex, meaning the chamber I use to make sure I use my inhaler correctly. The nurse tells me, “You wouldn’t believe how many adults still don’t know how to use an inhaler.”
I’ve been using several kinds for almost 40 years, but sure, Nick, I’ll take the Vortex.
Purses? Really, Ana? That’s where you went with this?
The following line was typed right after my appointment ended, and before I had to hit the road to make it back to work on time:
That wasn’t bad! But, sure, I’ll consider the allergy shots.

I liked seeing where your thoughts went. I noticed a shift in tone after your appointment was over.

Oh, the bags! What a perfect metaphor for how our various illnesses affect our lives. And the other lines! “Sure, Nick, I’ll take the Vortex” – this slice is full of lines that could be “borrowed” to start entirely different stories. And I’m awfully glad you know how to use an inhaler.
