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.

Missing having some 'NORMALCY' in my life ....

FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 12TH 2014 @ 12:56PM: just got home from Physio, going to blog before I begin cleaning the bathroom lol HOW I FEEL:  Pretty good; I rocked Physio today.  Last night I met the HR ladies from work for dinner at Boston Pizza.  It had been quite some time since we all got together, so it was nice to be able to reconnect with everyone and meet some of the new HR members of the team.  I can't believe it's been almost 2 years since I've been gone from work .... YES YOU HEARD RIGHT 2 YEARS!!!!!    I was expecting to return to work in October/November; however that idea has been kibosh-ed since I have this minor setback with my wound.  I likely won't be going back until the New Year now :(   I was really looking forward to getting some 'normalcy' back into my life.  Especially after meeting with everyone last night, I realized how much I miss work; I never thought I would say I miss it, but I do.  It would be different...

Why Me?

Why Me?  This is still a question I ask myself quite often, almost too often.  I've asked my oncologist from day one why me? Her response to me, there is no reason Laura why you got cancer, you didn't eat anything, you didn't do anything to get it.  This is the mystery of cancer, no one knows why people get it.  It's a horrible disease and I think I'm just starting to see how horrible it really is.  I have friends and family who are cancer survivors, I've spent a lot of time confiding in them and talking about my struggles.  My 2 friends who both are cancer survivors are the most positive people I know and a huge inspiration to me and when I'm having a rough time with things I turn to them.  One of them is my best friend who is a cancer survivor going on 9 years and another is a former coworker who also survived cancer and has been cancer free for 3 years.  It's not that I can't talk to other friends  or family about my struggles but sometime...

Merry Christmas !!!!!

FRIDAY DECEMBER 19TH 2014 @ 9:15am: dropped munchie off at daycare and I'm relaxing on the couch with a Starbucks and watching a Christmas Movie HOW   I   FEEL : wishing this cold would go away, it's been almost 2 weeks and I think it's overstayed it's welcome lol ACTUALLY it never was welcomed haha I just realized I haven't updated my blog since Alyssa's birthday; that's over a month ago.  I'm horrible at keeping it up to date, I always say I promise I will get better at this but it hasn't happened yet.  Maybe in the New Year ???? I can't believe Christmas is NEXT WEEK .... it doesn't feel like Christmas at all; maybe that's because our weather has been so bizarre the last few weeks and we don't have any snow.   I've been doing a lot of thinking the last few days about where I was last year and how far I have come.  This is a special Christmas for me because I get to be home with my family and Christmas morning I can...
