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

I MADE IT ..... I'm in Kitchener at Freeport !!!!!!!!!

First I'll apologize for being so tardy with my blog lol.........since coming to Freeport it's been a huge adjustment for me mentally, physically and emotionally. I got here Wednesday, arrived by Patient Transfer, bumpy ride that was lol......my mom was kind enough to ride with me. When I got here I was put in a semi private room with a bunch of old ladies. The lady that arranges everything was kind enough to boot one of the older ladies out of a private room and I got her room. I kinda feel bad I took a little old 90 year olds room but oh well lol......I prefer private. I think for the first couple days she kept thinking this was her room because she would wheel herself in lol! First off, my room is nothing like the room in Hamilton, oh well. Mom made my bulletin board brighter by adding colour to it and even brought me a stocking to hang off it. Such a sweet mother I have. I am glad to be closer to home, easy for family and friends to visit. It's very different
