| mushrooms |
Son K and I were at Ikea last week, during a tremendous heat wave, in the lineup for ice cream cones. There is always a long line, but it moves quite fast. I couldn't help but overhear the ladies in conversation right in front of me. The older lady was saying she got liver cancer and they operated and removed 5 tumours. Then they told her she would have to get a liver transplant. She was able to get one from her sister and seemed to be recovering. (You can have live donors? It must be so) Her greatest wish had been to see her grandbaby born and indeed the child was waiting with its mother not too far away. I was going to title my post 'eavesdropping' but it was more a case of overhearing I think.

Interesting story. I think they just need to transplant a small piece of liver, which then grows. Hope she does well. Those mushrooms are pretty. Hugs, Valerie
I "overhear" all the time. Goes along with people watching.
Good news for that woman. I hope she lives long enough to appreciate her grandchild.
hope she lives a long time! Never knew that about the liver.
What sweet little mushrooms! I'm glad she was able to see her grandchild. I overhear on occasion too...
I am glad you shared this conversation Christine, so touching. It is hard to ignore conversations when sitting close. I have head many in my lifetime, some touching like this one and others very humorous. We ought to write a book :)
Sometimes you can't help but hear a conversation going on when it's right there in front of you. I hope that women lives a nice long life!
May she get her wish :-)
