You Already Know the Phone Rang

Finally had to get up before my water broke. Packed up my stuff. Got my well organized bag together and headed to the restroom. Nurse called. She said in this order and I quote…

Hi. This is Nurse D and I am taking care of David. He told me right away how to say your name, so that I would say it the right way. He said don’t make it more complicated than it is. It is two letters. Did I get it right?
