My daughter and husband are determined to be my caregivers

9am. I am in the car, en route to hospital, where I am to have a small lesion removed from my lower calf.

I’m accompanied by my husband and daughter, who, between them, have spent large parts of the past two years recovering from major surgeries, including on the brain.

My daughter and husband are determined to be my caregivers. I am as determined to get rid of them.
