Overhearing

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.
