The Hospital Vicar

Yesterday, a little bit before being sent home, a reverend came round our ward. Two had gone to theatre so there were four of us: two cabbies called Pete and Rob, a thirty-something and me.

The reverend started with Pete and they had a long chat. Then he moved on to Rob, and again had a long chat. When he reached the thirty-something, there was less chat and more “Are you in pain? Is there anything I can do?”.

Next up was me. He walked to the end of my bed, looked at me sans smile and then wandered off.

Don’t know what to make of it … half of me relieved, half of me put out.

Perhaps it was my superhero shoes.
