A smile a day 2

This elderly gentleman, chubby, lively, lays on Emergency bed. I, being in cardiology consults am called for evaluation of heart failure. I start my history. I go through the usual boring drill of questions. "So, how many pillows do you need while sleeping?", I inquire. "Three pillows, doctor", comes the reply. 'He must be really short of breath', my mind races. "Three pillows", I repeat, as if trying to convince myself. "Yes doctor three, one under my head, one on my right side and another on the left side to support my aching legs!", the poor chap tries to convince me.
