When morning came, Martha was still hiding under her covers. She saw nurse Ruthie walk in the room. She pretended she was still sleeping till the nurse left. Then she jumped out of bed. She went to her closet looking for something to wear. All she could see were old lady clothes. Then she saw the blue sweater she had gotten for her birthday and a pair of black slacks.
"Perfect."
Then she went into the bathroom to comb her hair. She couldn't believe how long and thick her hair had become. She even threw away the denture paste and brushed her natural teeth. She put on her shoes and walked around the room making sure she would not fall. She pushed the wheelchair out of the way. She threw her cane against the wall.
"Won't be needing any of that anymore," laughed Martha.
She put on her winter coat and walked slowly to the bedroom door. The coast was clear and she was ready to walk out the front door.
