I just saw a man and a woman walking together when suddenly the woman stopped, briefly stared at the guy, threw her hands in air, then turned and walked away.

For years I was not taken seriously or outright disbelieved about my chronic pain issues. Even when I was in the Emergency Department, I came to know the futility of expecting a different outcome.
Two months ago, my Emergency visit was no different.
In fact, as expected, they triaged me as a "frequent flyer" of low concern and put me in a waiting area.
I came within seconds of dying there. Technically I did for a few minutes.
I will be recovering from that incident for several months and life going forward will never be the same.
When people try to tell you about their chronic pain and health, believe them. It's probably more challenging than that.

Arriving home, you see the cat through window, laying on the sofa, knowing it isn't allowed.
Opening the door for the gotcha moment, you see her on the stairs, nowhere near the sofa..
Seemingly just now hearing you, she yawns and stetches, as if waking up from a great sleep.
🤔
Like Schrödinger's cat, it is both on the sofa and on the stairs at the same time, until we open the door.
