BIG DAY .... !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today started off with a little nausea ..... But once my nurse gave me meds for that I was good to go.  I had my breakfast and watched Baby Story like I normally do lol.  Around 1030am, physio came in, there goal was to get me in the wheelchair sitting and Dan could push me around on the floor.  I was so frightened and scared of this.  I have sat on edge of bed no problem, stood no problem, only today I had to stand and shift my legs with walker so I could get In line with chair.  So essentially I took baby steps with both legs to turn around, it was so difficult bc I haven't walked in over 3 weeks.  Once I was in the chair I then started feeling very anxious bc I was worried how I was going to get out.  Dan took me around the floor, ran into a few doctors who were so proud to see me up.


It's a really bad picture and I can't sit at a full 90 degree angle bc of my restrictions.  And yes I'm sporting some sexy physio socks lol!!!!!!

Another great moment today was seeing my Munchie.  She is walking everywhere and just a blast to watch.   I really miss her ...... But I know I need to get better before I can take care of her.  Just makes me sad bc I'm her mommy and I'm supposed to take care of her.  

Also, Bruce and Carolann came for a visit.  Brought some goodies to help fatten me up lol.  They have also been my rock through all this as well.  Always there to support me in anyway they can.  You have no idea how much we appreciate your generosity, care, love etc.  You both brighten my day when you come to visit. 

And lastly I need to thank my parents for watching Alyssa majority of the time.  She loves Grandma and Grandpas.  Oooooooooo and I totally forgot to mention Alyssa got her 5th tooth :)

Bedtime for me now ........ Nighty nighty

My Days in ICU and in Private Room

My days in ICU were alright I guess.  I spent a lot of time sleeping.  For the first few days my blood levels were everywhere and I ended up needing more blood after the surgery.  A lot of my time in ICU was a blur.  Saturday which was day after my surgery was Alyssa's first birthday.  I can't believe she is 1 already.  I did get to see her on her birthday which was nice, but I was tired and she was in a new place and got fussy pretty quick.  The morning of her birthday my sister in law and brother were kind enough to watch her and had a mini party for her.  See some of the pics below: She had a blast for her birthday and was totally spoiled.  Back to ICU days .... My doctors had thought I'd still have the breathing tube in a few days after surgery.  Everything went so well I was moved out of ICU by Tuesday.  I was moved to my own private room, it wasn't on the floor my doctor originally wanted me to be but it...

WOW I haven't Blogged since April .... Lots to catch up on

Where to begin?  First I apologize I haven't blogged since April...I promised I'd keep my blog up to date when I got home but things have been busy busy busy.  On April 17th I had my routine followup appointment with my surgeon Dr Ghert.  All went well, my scans came back clear and she was very happy to see me walking and was impressed with all the progress I have made.  I still get alot of anxiety at those appointments and I sure hope that gets easier and easier as time passes.  My next appointment is in July the week before we leave for the cottage.  In July it will also be 1 year since I've been diagnosed, something to celebrate for sure.  As Kris Carr would say it will be my 1 year CANCERVERSARY lol!!!!!  I asked my surgeon about returning to work and she said that I should talk to her in 6 months from now.  I am eager to get back, but also know that I can't push myself too much or else I'll set myself back.  Ive been...

Surgery #2 Done and Done

Surgery #2 went better then expected.  They said the infection wasn't as bad as it looked on ct scan but they give it a good clean out and said the implant looks attached and well.  So that's positive news to hear. Oh and go me .... Even tho I was stressed about my surgery I still decided to go ahead with Physio yesterday.  Which Physio was impressed.  I ended up sitting on end of bed and stood up for a few minutes only.  It felt extremely more difficult this time but I think it was also because I hadn't eaten and wasn't able to drink.  But I did it and that is all that counts. And the wait continued, I think that made my anxiety worse, they had thought my surgery was around 3pm-4pm.  I wasn't able to drink or eat anything after mid-night before, which sucked.  These hospital rooms are dry so my mouth was dry and pasty until the surgery.  It was driving me nuts.  The nurse allowed me a few ice chips thank god but still didn't do the ...
