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 here because I have new nurses and doctors and physio therapists.  The shifts are different here so more nurses often.  One good thing is the food is better here lol........well as good as hospital food can get I guess.  I miss my doctors and nurses in Hamilton though.  I will continue to see my oncologist for years and years to come.  One of the other doctors I got to know really well came to see me on my last day and we exchanged numbers so we could keep in contact in terms of my progress.  I actually heard from him today and he told me that I'm an incredibly strong and brave person and that 2014 is my year.  I'm gonna try to keep thinking that.  I'm not gonna lie since I've been honest with my whole blog, I'm struggling with anxiety and depression and have been ever since my diagnosis.  I thought it would get better since the surgery is behind me but it's only getting worse and I don't want it to get in the way of my physio because I want to get home.  Unfortunately, I'm going to be in the hospital over Christmas which is upsetting to me, but it will just be a different Christmas this year for my family and at least Ill be around for many Christmas's to come.

Anyway, so what do I do since I've been here ......... Everyday I have physio for 30-40 minutes, then I watch a lot of Christmas movies (I'm pretty sure I've seen them all lol).  My parents come up to visit, sister comes.  Dan comes up with the kids which is the best part of my day.  Every time Alyssa sees me she has a big smile and gives me lots of kisses and then she's off walking around the room getting into things she shouldn't lol.  Now that she is walking, there is no stopping her.  The one day she walked into the room with the old ladies lol.....I'm sure they enjoyed seeing a lil baby lol.  Seeing her brightens up my day. 

Tanya and Tina from work came for a visit which was nice.  We had some good laughs and they were good shoulders to lean on since I was a little emotional that day.  I hope we have more visits and maybe the next visit I'll be in a wheelchair booting around with the oldies on my floor lol.  

Anyway I'm getting tired, I'm gonna try to keep up with blogging everyday now.  If you want to come for a visit just text me or message on Facebook.  I love visitors.      

Night night blog land ........

YACC Retreat and Munchie's Birthday :):)

MONDAY NOVEMBER 24TH 2014 @ 3:00pm: relaxing and going to pick Alyssa up from daycare shortly HOW   I   FEEL : tired I've been sitting here for the last half an hour or so staring at this computer screen trying to decide where to start with this blog post.  I have so much I want to share just unsure where to start.  I guess I'll start here ---- 7 days ago I got the privilege of attending the Young Adults with Cancer Retreat in Cobourg.  Dan and I got to spend 5 days there with a group of 35 AMAZING people.  I was a little unsure of what to expect going to this but after speaking with people who had attended prior retreats and told me it changed their lives completely, I knew I had to go and see it for myself.  The first day I found really intense; we sat in a circle all 35 of us and gave a brief introduction of ourselves and our journey.  I remember that night when I went to bed I thought to myself ‘holy shit, th...

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...

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...
