Gretty Good Time
by John Belluso
Synopsis
Though she suffers from post-polio paralysis, Gretty's feisty and warm nature makes her a popular patient in her nursing home.
But without family or money, Gretty faces the threat of being sent away to a state institution.
Soon she will be unable to function on her own, and she begins to contemplate assisted suicide to maintain her dignity.
Perhaps the support of a new young doctor, an eccentric fellow patient, and an imagined guest on her favorite TV show, can show Gretty the possibilities of leading a life of joy and hope in the face of disability.
