"Sometimes I'll be driving on a long waving road across marshland, or maybe past rows of furrowed field, the sky big and gray and never changing mile after mile, and I find I'm thinking about my essay..." (115)
This whole story is Kathy getting ready to stop caring and become a donor. Because of this, she reflects on fer life thus far while driving around from hospital to hospital. I think that there is a part of her that wants to become a donor, like Tommy suggested. However she is still proud that she is a good carer. And, she is more in control. She doesn't have to take orders from Ruth anymore. She doesn't have to follow Ruth's commands or become angered at some ploy Ruth used to get attention. Looking back still makes her sad for her lost friend though, and all the others in her life, most of which have completed.
