2 Magical Sentences.....


.....the first from Not Dr. McDreamy as I woke up in Recovery on Thursday, 'Millie, I'm cautiously optimistic that I've fixed the problem' & the second from MOTH as I arrived home from hospital today, 'Now don't you worry 'bout a thing Mills, I'll clean the house this week.' Both quite astonishing in their own right!

My theatre date was tougher & far more nerve-wracking then I could ever have imagined. I'm still feeling very tired & fragile, & I just want to stay tucked up by the fire for the next few days. But I did want to pop by & thank you all for the beautiful messages left while I've been away. MOTH & all the boys (near & far) have been fantastic & I've felt very much loved & supported by everyone. So now it's just a waiting game to see if my next blood results continue to show improvement as they've already begun to. Love to you all my dear friends.

    Hi Millie
    Cautiously optimistic is great news, and if you have a comfy wee spot by the fire that looks anything like that in your picture, plus MOTH at your beck & call in his apron, then all the better!

    Dear Millie,

    That is good news! I think that snuggling by the fire is a good idea and MOTH doing all the housework is an even better one.

    Take care,

    Rest! I insist. Once you start "doing" everything goes back to normal and people start asking you for things. Trust me.

    I was wondering if you were going to wake up with your hair stylist's new baby next to you, I'm joking of course. I had a smile from ear to ear when I saw your post today. Love, Heidi

    I'm glad to hear the positive news.
    What a lovely MOTH. Most men just don't know what to do in these situations. If he is like Steve, cleaning and taking care of the house will give him something to do. Just relax, Millie and take it easy.

    Dearest Gorgeous Millie,

    Stay tucked up in front of the fire for as long as you need. I wish I was closer, I would come and look after the house for you and Moth.

    I have missed so much over these last months and I feel so bad that I have only just realised that you have been to hospital.

    I'm sending you lots of love, kisses and what energy I have left now, across country N.S.W. to South Australia to Stirling to you. If the wind is in the right direction you should get it sometime soon.

    xxxxxx Coty
