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 would work until a room opened up.  T

December 5th ..... Received some news I didn't want to hear ....

Hmmmm where to start......today was a rough and emotional day for me.  Started off ok, had my breakfast and watched abit of TV.  Hubby came up around 10am, I always feel more at ease when he is here with me.  Around 10:30am my physio team came in......as much as they push me so hard I love the head physio lady Jodi.  She is amazing with me and makes me feel so comfortable.  Everytime they come in my anxiety gets bad, I need to somehow learn to overcome that.  They pull me into a sitting position on end of bed and then make me stand using the walker.  I don't know why I get anxious because every time I do it, it gets easier and easier.  Today it felt extremely difficult standing up, even tho my therapists told me that they weren't supporting me as much today as they normally do.  They said I did an awesome job, so I'll go with that. Last night was my first night sleeping on my new mattress, it's definitely much more comfortable then the other bed I had.  It's an ai

New to blogging ..... Bare with me for first few posts

Where to start .... As some of you may already know I was diagnosed with a rare type of cancer in July 2013.  A Chandro Sarcoma to be exact,  this type of cancer either starts developing on the bone or as tissue and attaches to bone.  Mine is in my pelvis and attached to parts of the pelvis.   I have had cronic back pain and sciatica all throughout my pregnancy, in May of 2013 I noticed my one buttcheek was a little bigger then the other.  My family doctor sent me for an MRI and Ultrasound at Grandriver Hospital.  The results came back showing I had a large mass in my pelvis.  My family doctor thought it could be a large hematoma from having Alyssa.  I was referred to a specialist  in Hamilton at the Jurvenski Cancer Centre ...... The name of the building scared the crap out of me.  On  July 16th, I met with my specialist Dr. Ghert.  She examined me and within 5 minutes she told me I definitely had some type of sarcoma ...... What kind she was unsure.  She needed me to have tests run
