The old lady came to the doctor requested for a plastic surgery. She took out a picture of her, when she was in her thirties, and hoped that the doctor can help her to regain her younger look of that age.
The doctor refused to help her since he did not see the necessity of doing so, even though the old lady was so sincere in asking for his help.
She brought the doctor to see her husband, who was sick and losing his memory little by little.
“Who are you? Why do you keep coming to see me? I don’t know you at all…” The husband
said.
“I am your wife, dear…” said the old lady.
“No. You are not my wife! I don’t even know you.” The husband replied.
He took out a photo and said, “This is my wife. You are not her… She never comes to visit me ever since I stay in this hospital…”
The doctor finally agreed with the surgery.* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
The surgery was a success. The old lady went back to visit her husband with her younger look, after a month or so since her last visit.
The husband was watching TV with another old lady in the hospital.
“Hello, I am Margaret.” The old lady talked to the husband. She smiled happily, hoping that the husband will recognize her.
“Hello, I am Joseph.” The husband replied.
He pointed at the old lady next to him and said, “And this is my girlfriend, Susie.”
What else could Margaret do? Joseph still cannot recognize her. The memory has faded...
