Don't know what to title today's post so it's titled ..........@@@@@!!!!!!!!!!!!

Parents and Dan came down today.  My day started off with physio, standing up and moving my legs around to sit in the chair again.  I did it, even tho I was terrified.  My mind takes over and controls everything and I don't know how to stop it.  Any suggestions are welcome?   Once Dan got here he pushed me around in the wheelchair and took me down to see the Xmas tree.  I think he enjoys pushing me around, he just wishes he could do pop a wheelies lol!!!!!

After my physio was finished my doctor came in to see me.  She took my 2 drains out and catheter.  Yeah I am no longer attached by Iva's, tubes etc etc.  The spot where I had the infection is looking good.  Majority of my staples are out.

AND I saved the best for last ........ On Wednesday I'm being transfered to Freeport to start my rehab.  I'm excited but have some mixed feelings about that bc I'll have new physio ladies, doctors etc.  My fav doc even tho he waked me up every morning came in to say bye.  Tonight was his last night here.  I loved this guy he was always so honest, reassuring and motivating.  We exchanged numbers so I can text him my progress.  

I'm gonna have to finish tomorrow ..... Meds r kicking in.

    Hi Laura ... Your comment about "my mind takes over" made me chuckle - not because it's funny - but because it reminded me of a Bob Newhart skit I saw once. If you want a laugh, check it out on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ow0lr63y4Mw

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...
