Sad But True

Evil

Yo, I'm at the airport now... Going out to sf. Anyway, I had just passed thru security before and immediately started fussing with both my cell phone and blackberry because you know, I am a very important "high tech professional." Just as I was about to make a phone call, one of the airport people hail me and she goes, "hey, do you speak her language?" And she points over to this little old chinese woman. I go over to her and interpret a little. Turns out, they just wanted to see her boarding pass and luckily, I know enough chinese to say, "airplane ticket." So anyway, they have this wheelchair out for her and she starts telling me how she's flying out to LA because her son lives there and is taking her to see some sort of medical specialist. She said that she went to see a doctor in chinatown about her bad leg and they told her it would probably need to be amputated above the thigh. But she's going out to LA for a specialist and a second opinion. She seemed like a nice old lady. Isn't that sad? Maybe I am just getting old and gushy.
