Well FINALLY I'm here ....

'Finally I'm here ... I've been moved to UT2; which is the aggressive rehab floor. I have been waiting to be transferred here since I came to Freeport originally. On this floor I will get rehab 2 times a day, 7 days a week....this is my last stop then home. This program is geared to get you home. I have never been happier to hear I was being transferred.......I needed this so bad. I am going to give this everything I got so I can get home to my baby girl. She needs her mama at home with her. I was transferred down here at 11am this morning. Dean came to help me move my stuff, then he stayed for abit. I had to fill out admission forms for the 3rd time and he got my tv hooked up for me. Physio came in after lunch and I went for a walk with the therapist, tomorrow I will get physio twice a day and it will be a fresh start for me and a fresh start towards my journey home. Another mile stone was wearing actual clothes rather then a hospital gown. I have lived in a gown since my surgery in November.... Today I put pj pants and a shirt on. It felt great lol. The little things in life excite me lol. Dan came up after work and we went on a dinner date to Subway downstairs .... It was nice just the 2 of us and no kids lol. We sure did splurge for our dinner date hahaha. Tonight I'm going to do some reading and go to bed early, so I can start my day fresh tomorrow and be prepared. Everyone says this floor is like bootcamp, but it's what I need in order to get home. I need to be pushed past my limits.

I don't have much else to share tonight ....... Enjoy the couple pictures lol .... I attached a few of Alyssa because of course she is cute as ever.

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
