The article describes a 73-year-old woman's experience with a significant drop in her blood count. After a call from her doctor expressing concern and arranging an ambulance, she initially resists and instead contacts a neighbor. The article reflects her denial about her condition and how she attributed her fatigue to aging, despite earlier signs of a more serious issue such as fainting at the veterinarian's office. Eventually, she acknowledges her need for medical help, showcasing the complex relationship between aging and health awareness.
At my age, she told me recently, you can't expect to feel good every day. But a couple of weeks before the call from her doctor, something happened to make her wonder if her symptoms were about more than just getting older.
Finally, she said when her friend answered the phone, she was ready to go to the E.R. The woman wasn't sure when she started to feel bad; a month ago, maybe two.
