Volunteer
Since I’m just 36, I was easily the youngest volunteer in the
hospital. Most of the daytime help consisted of retired gents, or elderly
widows after the retired gents. Still, everyone pitched in and made themselves
useful. After the first week, I was finding the work very rewarding and I
looked forward to my four-hour shift three days a week! I was still frustrated
by my husband’s lack of attention, but the volunteer work provided some outlet
and relief from my physical cravings for sex.
After about three weeks on the job, the head nurse assigned me the job
of filling up the ice water bottles in each room. The wing I was working on
was mostly orthopedic patients. It wasn’t very crowded, and several of the
rooms only had one patient in them. As I pushed my cart along, I reached the
last room in the corridor, took a bottle off the car and breezed unannounced
into a room.
