So , I'd just had my first chemo in January of 2014 . I had been thinking about my previous surgery in December of 2013 , about how neat my scar was and how pleased I was and how I wished I had the chance to c my surgeon again and thank him , but , that probably wasn't going to happen , never mind .
My TV broke and I needed a new one quick , I was anticipating 6 months of laying on the sofa full of drugs and not feeling like doing much , so I needed a new TV .
I went very early in the morning to my local electrical shop and bought one and they delivered it next day . I put it on as soon as they left and one of the speakers wasn't working
, so I phoned them immediately , the guys came and took it away very quickly but couldn't refund my money as they don't carry cash , I would have to go to the shop again 
. Couldn't b bothered on that day so , I went the day after .
The manageress of the shop was quite unpleasant , first she said that they didn't have my TV , after a polite insistence from me , she deigned to go and check . I waited for quite a while , eventually she came back and said rather gruffly ' yes it's there but there's nothing wrong with it ' I asked , did u turn it on and listen , she said ' no ' . I politely insisted that she do so . She disappeared again for several minutes . When she came back she said something like ' oh yes , one of the speakers isn't working but , I can't give u your money back because I don't have any money in the till ' 
I expressed my annoyance , politely . She told me to come back later in the day . As I was walking out a man approached me and whispered in my ear , ' I've just paid cash for a new stereo system so she does have the cash ' . I was not pleased . I waited till the man walked out , didn't want to involve him , then I said , ' I happen to know that u r lying to me , u have plenty of cash . I'm going to Sainsbury's ( supermarket nearby ) to get some shopping , I will call in here on my way home and u had better have my cash ! I flounced out in a barely contained rage . What should have taken me 5 mins , took half an hour 
.
As I was walking to Sainsbury's , a man was walking towards me , I knew I knew his face but could not think where from and he seemed to b looking at me as if he knew me also . As he got closer I realised who it was . It was my surgeon !
I got to shake his hand and thank him ! It was so lovely and so unexpected ! Then I realised , if I hadn't had all that carry on in the electrical shop , if it hadn't all lasted EXACTLY as long as it did , I would not have bumped into my surgeon ! I think on this often , it reminds me of just how kind and thoughtful and generous God is to us all 
.
If u r wondering where my hubby was in all this , he was at home . He suffers from chronic agoraphobia , I think u call it bring a shut in in America . And yes , I got my money back
