LIV
I tried to act like my life wasn’t falling apart as I walked into the
Cottonwood Falls doctor’s office. I’d been going there to see Doctor Deb
since I was a baby, and she’d treated me for everything from measles to
HPV.
Unfortunately, I didn’t know how long it would be until I saw her again
because losing my job also meant my health insurance would run out this
month. Lucky me.
Nurse Brenda smiled at me from her desk in the waiting area—it was
really the living room of a four-bedroom house that was converted into a
practice years ago, with antique drapery and hardwood floors that had seen
more feet over the years than the boot shop in the next town over.
“How’s it going, Liv?” she asked with a sympathetic look.
Perks of living in Smalltown, USA? Everyone knows your business
before you do.
“I’m glad to be out of there,” I admitted. “I loved working at the feed
yard, but it was time to go.” More like I couldn’t handle the new, pigheaded
manager a second longer. He acted more like an animal than the cattle we
were caring for, and I couldn’t deal with it anymore. “The only thing that
sucks is losing company housing. I’m staying with my parents while I look
for something new.”
“I bet your parents love having you around.” Brenda smiled, reaching
into her desk for a clipboard and paperwork. “Any idea what you’re doing
next?”
“Not a clue.” I took the board from her, glancing at the form. “I figured
I should get my yearly exam in before I don’t have insurance anymore.”
“Smart.” Brenda winked, making her flawless skin crease. She had to be
in her fifties at this point, but I swore we looked the same age. “Go ahead
and fill that out, and then I’ll bring you back to the room.”
I headed to the empty waiting area, sitting in a cushy chair and filling
out the form, including my endometriosis and PCOS diagnosis like I did
every time, then brought the board back. Brenda took it, walking with me to
one of three exam rooms. I could hear murmurs coming from the other
office. Deb was busy with another patient.
After taking my vitals, Brenda told me to undress and get comfortable
on the table for my pap. “Shouldn’t be much longer.”
“Thanks.” I smiled and waited until the door was shut to undress. With
all my clothes off, I put the sheet over myself and lay back on the table,
scrolling through a job board on my phone. But the longer I looked, the
sadder I felt.
Every open position that matched my skills and paid enough to support
myself was more than an hour away from Cottonwood Falls. I closed my
eyes and put my arm over my face, fighting back tears.
Most people hated the small town they grew up in and couldn’t wait to
get away, but for all its flaws and quirks, I loved living here. My brother
and sister-in-law lived right in town. My other brother lived ten minutes
outside of the city limits. And my oldest brother, who just got married to a
single mom,
