I managed a meager smile as I looked toward the heart rate monitor thatwas steadily beeping every few moments. "Hi Aunt Roe," I choked out ofthe words... "How are you doing?"It was a stupid question I know, but what else was I going to say."Not too good," my aunt admitted freely."I know," I said as I took a deep breath once again and steadied myself."That's why I'm here."It looked like my aunt tried to nod, but it was barely noticeable as shemade the bed rise further into a seated position.
