Just when you think things are going OK ..... You hit another bump in the road

This will be a short post .... need to blog to relieve some stress and frustration. People weren't kidding when they said the journey would be long and have a lot of bumps along the way. I've hit YET another bump ....... Yesterday my one wound started bleeding....yeah I know right? Thought they were healed and I was in the clear. NOPE ..... I was once again referred back to CCAC and the nurse came tonight to assess me. I was hoping maybe it was just a small tear on skin....Boy was I wrong it's a tunnel, 5cm deep and I am back to packing and daily nurse visits again. Fun times let me tell you. I know it couldve been worse, the nurse told me if the skin on surface didn't break I could've developed an absess or really bad infection. So I'm fortunate that didn't happen, but still doesn't make me feel great about the whole situation.....
Anyway aside from this bump things have been good....still kicking butt at physio....seeing improvements....trying to come to terms with the new NORMAL, not exactly easy but I'm working on it.

Thought I'd attach some cute pictures of my munchie....so there is something positive in this post at least lol.

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
