Today at Walgreens the young cashier commented on my WalkMS sweatshirt. I asked if she has done a Walk and she said yes. I told her I have MS, and "thank you for walking". She said she has it too. She sounding hesitant, like maybe she's newly diagnosed or new to announcing it.

It felt really weird being on that end of that conversation. She "looked good", as in she was working and I saw no symptoms. But I wasn't about to say that. I said some fumbly thing like "Ah, well", and smiled and nodded.

Sheesh...if you can't tell someone they look good because it might be offensive... What do you say?
