Well FINALLY I'm here ....

'Finally I'm here ... I've been moved to UT2; which is the aggressive rehab floor. I have been waiting to be transferred here since I came to Freeport originally. On this floor I will get rehab 2 times a day, 7 days a week....this is my last stop then home. This program is geared to get you home. I have never been happier to hear I was being transferred.......I needed this so bad. I am going to give this everything I got so I can get home to my baby girl. She needs her mama at home with her. I was transferred down here at 11am this morning. Dean came to help me move my stuff, then he stayed for abit. I had to fill out admission forms for the 3rd time and he got my tv hooked up for me. Physio came in after lunch and I went for a walk with the therapist, tomorrow I will get physio twice a day and it will be a fresh start for me and a fresh start towards my journey home. Another mile stone was wearing actual clothes rather then a hospital gown. I have lived in a gown since my surgery in November.... Today I put pj pants and a shirt on. It felt great lol. The little things in life excite me lol. Dan came up after work and we went on a dinner date to Subway downstairs .... It was nice just the 2 of us and no kids lol. We sure did splurge for our dinner date hahaha. Tonight I'm going to do some reading and go to bed early, so I can start my day fresh tomorrow and be prepared. Everyone says this floor is like bootcamp, but it's what I need in order to get home. I need to be pushed past my limits.

I don't have much else to share tonight ....... Enjoy the couple pictures lol .... I attached a few of Alyssa because of course she is cute as ever.

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...

WOW I haven't Blogged since April .... Lots to catch up on

Where to begin? First I apologize I haven't blogged since April...I promised I'd keep my blog up to date when I got home but things have been busy busy busy. On April 17th I had my routine followup appointment with my surgeon Dr Ghert. All went well, my scans came back clear and she was very happy to see me walking and was impressed with all the progress I have made. I still get alot of anxiety at those appointments and I sure hope that gets easier and easier as time passes. My next appointment is in July the week before we leave for the cottage. In July it will also be 1 year since I've been diagnosed, something to celebrate for sure. As Kris Carr would say it will be my 1 year CANCERVERSARY lol!!!!! I asked my surgeon about returning to work and she said that I should talk to her in 6 months from now. I am eager to get back, but also know that I can't push myself too much or else I'll set myself back. Ive been...

Surgery #2 Done and Done

Surgery #2 went better then expected. They said the infection wasn't as bad as it looked on ct scan but they give it a good clean out and said the implant looks attached and well. So that's positive news to hear. Oh and go me .... Even tho I was stressed about my surgery I still decided to go ahead with Physio yesterday. Which Physio was impressed. I ended up sitting on end of bed and stood up for a few minutes only. It felt extremely more difficult this time but I think it was also because I hadn't eaten and wasn't able to drink. But I did it and that is all that counts. And the wait continued, I think that made my anxiety worse, they had thought my surgery was around 3pm-4pm. I wasn't able to drink or eat anything after mid-night before, which sucked. These hospital rooms are dry so my mouth was dry and pasty until the surgery. It was driving me nuts. The nurse allowed me a few ice chips thank god but still didn't do the ...
