Asked to leave.
For a moment, such talk upset my pleasant view of what we were doing.
I wanted to hear that being here made him feel special, that he was gaining far more than he was losing.
"'Why?'
I asked.
But he just let out a breath like someone finished or unable to continue.
His head turned again toward me, his eyes struggling to convey something his mouth couldn't.
Nonetheless, I remained upbeat.
"'Don't worry about the operation,' I explained, adding, "'What are you donating?'
I thought I heard kidney and then sister, but his head shook as I watched him try to lift his head, his mouth moving wordlessly, trying to add more.
Still in positive mode, I said again, easiest operation.
His body seemed to collapse under the blanket.
In a face squirming to let something out, his mouth silently opened and shut.
The door swung open.
A nurse stomped into the room.
Angrily, she escorted me back to my room, repeating to me that patients were never to be bothered.
And since my operation was tomorrow, I needed to let the sedatives take effect and not do something that would harm myself.
What could I say?
Meekly, I crawled back into bed.
A minute later, the nurse returned with a syringe, just said, a little more sedative, and plunged the needle into my arm.
