Quick Update

So just a quick update, I am back to daily packing and daily nurse visits.  I was so happy and lucky to get my old nurse back, it makes it much easier so I don't need to repeat my story over again.  Maggie is amazing and excellent with wound care, so I know I'm well taken care of.  I am once again on antibiotics because we believe an infection is starting, better safe then sorry I guess.  I am starting to get all to familiar with antibiotics and wound care products.  I am trying to remain positive even though I am extremely frustrated and angry that this has happened again.  I went to physio today and part of my upper body exercises was to punch a bag with weights in my hands to relieve some frustration and stress.  BOY did it feel good lol! Exactly what I needed.  Now to take it easy, relax whenever possible and try to let this wound heal and hopefully quickly.

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...

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...

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...
