8:30, a man in his 80s arrived at the hospital. He was in a hurry, he
had an appt at 9:00. I asked if he had another doctors appt. He said he
had to go to the nursing home for breakfast with his wife, a victim of
Alzheimers. I asked if shed be upset he was late. He replied that she no
longer knew who he was, she had not recognized him in 5 yrs. I asked,
‘And you still go every morning, even though she doesn’t know who you
are?’ He smiled and said, ‘She doesn't know me, but I still know her.’
