You are very fortunate not to be ill. My husband wasn't ill until in his 50s when thyroid cancer came as a shock but he is fully recovered thank goodness. I have had my share over the years so sort of take it all in my stride which unfortunately is not a very big one these days. lolMimsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00249766510078357225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-58827154653305690782012-10-08T17:30:00.574+08:002012-10-08T17:30:00.574+08:00I think it's nice that you've thanked your...I think it's nice that you've thanked your caregivers publicly like this.<br />I don't have many such people yet, I have a doctor and a dentist, but not always the same person. I go to clinics and just see whoever is first available. I'm rarely sick, so that's okay for now.

I also have to thank the few followers of my blog particularly wonderful folk like you and EC. You inspire me too in different ways. Thank you. xMimsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00249766510078357225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-73274581138220498422012-10-06T10:13:34.974+08:002012-10-06T10:13:34.974+08:00Me?

I'd forgotten one wonderful specialist..my orthopaedic surgeon. The man that did both my hip replacements.<br />Another thing that keeps me going mentally is my computer: Facebook and all the games of scrabble I play. Currently have about 50 games on the go. Thanks again for your kind words EC. xMimsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00249766510078357225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-71883197029743295172012-10-06T07:59:24.598+08:002012-10-06T07:59:24.598+08:00That's quite a list there Mimsie, glad you'...That's quite a list there Mimsie, glad you've found such a fabulous team to help you care for you and your other half.

There is one important person you have left off that list though - you. If you were not ready to accept help when needed, or didn't take your medication, go to your exercise classes and engage with the world I suspect you would have drifted away long ago. Your spirit is still burning brightly, which is so lovely. Long may it continue.Elephant's Childhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06650565833097914052noreply@blogger.com
