Watered Heart

Ms G – this lady was at the healthy age of 95 at the time of this note but was as keen as anyone I’ve known in their fifties.  She had an appointment with her doctor and she too related how important relationships with family are to her.  On this occasion though, her daughter was out of town and she required my service to get her to the doctor for the outcome of x-rays previously taken that week. 

 

When she returned she was ok but revealed to me that she had liquid around her heart and they were watching her. She said she could have walked such a short distance (feeling guilty that is was such a short trip).  Even this did not dampen her spirit as she bid me a happy day and figured she’d go have a stiff drink to celebrate another day.

One nasty winter day in Jan 2015 I took Ms G to Fenwick Street.  The street was blocked just before the entrance to her clinic backing traffic up, so I was forced to back up the full length of the street to go around and come in the other way. 

 

She never forgets that reverse trip and talks about her amazement at how I was able to do that.  Our trips have been very comfortable ever since :)

Something as simple as reversing a street is being watched, with interest, as residents watch the chauffeur get them to and from their appointments safely.

Her heart may have water around it but it is still pretty big.
