Herbert Nehrlich - Nana's Bad Arm

Herbert Nehrlich - Nana's Bad Arm

The Doctor did examine, br (he was the last one on the list) , br both arm and wrist of Nana, br so thoroughly that she was pleased. br Perhaps it was a first, and also signal br that this great pilgrimage was br nearing its own end, (don't hold your breath) . br 'So much incompetence', she said br 'I have been suffering, in my old age br for many months, and ask myself br why God has chosen, in his wisdom br to throw this pie of cruel pain br into the face that has, for ninety years br shown only worship and obedience, br what can it be, perhaps a rare disease br not yet discovered by the greats of Medicine? ' br br The consultation was now over, what remained br would be instructions and eventual prognosis, br the verdict came out of a learned mouth, br and not a single facial muscles nor a wrinkle br were out of place to undermine the presentation. br 'It would be wise to take the bandage and the splint br and place it, gently, for the days that still remain br to the full moon next month, onto the other arm, br so that the bad one has a chance at last to heal.
