A/N--In this episode, the 18th one I believe, Dorothy had a operation on her ankle.
she was scared and talked to this roommate at the hospital, the roommate was Bonnie and she had a mastectomy and was in for them to do the other breast.
This is about her and it won't be humorous. Maybe I'm a prude but I see no humor in breast cancer.
Bonnie sits in a neatly pressed three piece blue skirt, shirt and jacket, she sits across in a chair from a young woman who is crying in blue jeans and a red shirt. The young woman says:
"I just never thought it could happen to me"
Bonnie thinks on that but then says:
"You are young but it does happen Sheila"
Bonnie wipes her nose then says:
"But it wasn't supposed to happen to me"
Bonnie thinks then asks her:
"Then to who? Your sister?"
Sheila says:
"No"
Bonnie presses on:
"Your best friend?"
"No!" Says Sheila:
"So it happened to you Sheila, you have to move on"
She wipes her tears away then says:
"Oh, what do you know? You don't know what this is like"
Bonnie just sits there is cold silence then after a while, Bonnie asks her:
"You had breast cancer?"
Bonnie shakes her head and says:
"Uh huh, twice"
Sheila goes in shock then asks in a tone of a six year old child asking a question:
"But you are so beautiful…so…built"
Bonnie smirks then lifts her jacket and says:
"Fakes…they do a good job"
She gets up and goes around to her desk and Sheila asks:
"You had it two times and you are here?"
Bonnie shakes her head again and says:
"This is a rampant….thing going on, I thought I could help"
Sheila considers those words then carefully asks:
"Can…you…help…me?"
Bonnie shakes her head then motions for her to sit down in the chair across from the desk and they talk.
