Personal question

I had an appointment at the opthalmologists' office today, where I've been going for about 50 years. Updating my info, pretty much all the same as last time, the assistant asked, "And how long have you been living alone?" When I said never, she said that was odd, because that was what was in my chart.
Must be because I go to all my appoinments by myself. "Poor thing!" Anyway, my vision was fine despite all my conditions, BUT You can't win 'em all; they offered that complimentary hearing test which I took only last year, and I missed 2 beeps in my left ear, so I'm eligible (!) for the extensive test. I'm asked to refer anyone else who might want a free hearing test; they don't even have to be a patient there. Do I know anyone with a hearing problem? Best af all, I saw a new associate doctor named Dr. Contractor. And even better, I got to drive home in the gently falling snow.
