okay today

The stairs in the doctor's practice are not a problem. The pain in the knees has gone, how will I explain this to the doctor? Pains in the back, pains in the knee. It was difficult to climb the stairway at home yesterday.

There is a note on the door on red paper saying "please ring".

Press the button.

Wait, and then the door buzzes.

Go in, there is a counter, a woman sitting behind it. Tell her the problem, give her the medical insurance card. She checks the information, then she puts the plastic sheet into the reader.

Then, looking into the screen she says that the earliest appointment will be in an hour.

She suggests a walk in the town.

Take a walk in the rain in the town.

Go into a café, a bakery shop café. 

Order a cup of coffee with a croissant, wearing the community mask. Sit down at a table after removing the mask, drink the coffee eat the croissant. People come in, all wearing masks, order their loaves of bread, or cakes.

Watch.

Stop to talk to a window cleaner, a man met in the park yesterday. He would like to be a photographer, he will buy a camera he says. 

Wish him luck, admire his skill with the window cleaning tools

Return to the doctor's practice.

The stairs that would have been difficult yesterday are no problem today.

After a long wait in the waiting room the doctor takes a look at the knee.

She says that everything seems in order.

It was not yesterday, or last week, but things are ok today.
