"Coma"

After a long and serious operation, Lena ended
up in a coma. Try as they might, the doctors just
couldn't bring her out of it. When her husband
Ralph came into the intensive care unit to see
her, the doctors gave him the bad news.

"We just can't wake her. It doesn't look good I'm
afraid," the doctor told Ralph in a quiet somber
voice.

Ralph looked at Lena and with a soft trembling
voice said "But doctor, she's so young. She's
only 45."

"37" came the weak reply from Lena.
