An elderly woman was very ill

An elderly woman was very ill, and in the hospital.

Her daughter was constantly by her bedside, but when she had to go to work,

she called her husband and made him promise he would visit his mother-in-law while she was away.

When she came home after work, she asked her husband, very worried: “So, how’s my mom doing?”

“She‘s great!” he replied. “She will be released from the hospital any day now,

and will move in with us when she’s released, and go on to live for many, many years!”

“Wow! That’s amazing!” says the wife.

“But also very strange. Before I left the hospital, she seemed very ill, and the doctors said she may only have a few days left.

Did she have some kind of a miraculous recovery?”

“Well, I don’t know about that,” replied the husband. “

But today, the doctor told me that we needed to start preparing for the worst!”
