Me: Thanks for asking but no, no I'm not. And it'll be a while before I am.
Well-meaning friend: Oh right, another week or so?
Me: Erm, unfortunately no, it'll be more like another few months.
Well-meaning friend: Oh right. It's just that it's been about a month already. You must feel slightly better.
Me: No. Sorry. (Why am I apologising?)
Well-meaning friend: So you still can't feel your fingers?
Me: No.
Well-meaning friend: Stomach?
Me: No.
Well-meaning friend: Legs?
Me: No.
Well-meaning friend: Oh. Wow. That's pretty unbelievable.
Me: No.
Well-meaning friend: But you don't look any different. I thought I might be able to see something.
Me: Nope. Just me.
Well-meaning friend: Wow. What can I do?
Me: Nothing really, but thanks very much for asking.
Well-meaning friend: Okay, if you're sure. Let me know though.
Me: I will, thanks very much.
Well-meaning friend: No probs. I'll text you in a couple of days, see if you're feeling any better.
Me:
