grim and determined
she waits outside the closed door
peering straight ahead
and leaning on her walker
hands wrapped in weathered gloves
~~observed this morning in a waiting room

She was unforgettable…as are so many I see in waiting rooms these days. Thanks, John.

That could have been me, except I’m a he, not a she.

Then I applaud your grit! She definitely had it. When I went back for my own appointment I saw her deep in conversation with one of the physical therapists. She was smiling by then, and having a rather animated conversation. I wouldn’t want to get in her way, though I did feel sad for her situation.
