Leah and I stopped in at the grocery store tonight to pick up some much needed Milk. I stayed in the car as Leah went in and picked up a couple items. While Checking out the cashier asked Leah how her husband was? Leah asked what she meant since we really don't know her that well. The cashier told her the last time we were in together I was about to begin my chemo round. The cashier remembered Leah and what we had told her almost a month and a half ago. She continued to tell Leah she was praying for me.
Of all the people you talk to many of them you never expect to impact. It just goes to show you that if you share your story, people are listening whether you think they are or not. Sharing "His" story seems like the right thing to do whenever possible. It intersects with each persons story so sharing your story seems like the natural transition.
I have completed my third treatment of this round. Once again they pumped it through 4 hours faster due to us arriving around noon. When they do that it is much harder on my stomach but I still manage to keep all my food down and have to eat every couple of hours. My symptoms usually turn around and come back to "normal" on Tuesday after treatment. Therefore I am looking forward to tomorrow.
As for the Cashier in the store. Thanks much for your thoughts and prayers.
