Anger

Expectations

It’s two days after the procedure; two days after my mother got a new heart valve.
This afternoon she was extremely sleepy. I wasn’t able to wake her up, and she appeared a bit angry. When she saw me she said: “I don’t need anything.”
Later she explained this behavior to a friend. “I’d expected more of my new heart valve,” she said.
