Well, looks like someone, is almost back in the saddle. Mr. Rex Page. I am doctor Joaquin Dominguez. They managed to return to normal most of your physical movement. That's good news. the bad news is that ... it's gonna take intense physical therapy to get you back on the feet. I wanna real doctor not some lowlife (snake oil???) salesman. perhaps Mr Page and I should discuss things in private. you start behaving, this instant. whatever you think you saw last night from the depths of your anesthesia just give me the facts, mister. getting your legs working would be one, strenuous, two, expensive three, more trouble than it worth even for a man ten years younger than you. looks like you trying put me out to the pasture.

I will report you. report me and then what? scrambling to find a job while your grandmother withers away, I don't think so you know, (what's they do now???) I've been worried if a little field trip you and your staff planning I did discussed it with Mr. Walker and we concluded that all staff need to report on evening of the Fourth any who don't, may not bother to showing up to work, after the holidays. Is that clear? hey, What's a matter, Seorita/t? It's a disgusting doctor Dominguez. he threatening to throw my grandmother out. What? And he told Walker that we all going to see Vicente. so that he'll make us work and spoil our night he can't do that. it's a Holiday. they can do whatever they want. Don't you worry about that.

Ms. Page, I mean to speak out of turn, but I get a distinct feeling that you are a underappreciated woman you've done that before? man, your husband's age and disposition especially with this type of injury, it'd be quite burdensome.
