Feeling Pretty Good .......

TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 30TH 2014 @ 3:01PM: relaxing well munchie is sleeping

HOW I FEEL:  Awesome.  Been rocking 1 CANE around the house for the last 2 days and I seem to have a little more energy this week.

 Well the most exciting news is that I have been rocking 1 cane around the house and feeling pretty damn good.  I struggle a little on the carpet upstairs because it's not a flat surface; like the tile and hardwood BUT none the less I am still doing it.  I haven't been brave enough to use one cane out running errands; MAYBE sooner then I think.  This weekend I am going to go shopping for a new cane.  Time to upgrade my granny silver cane to a pink one perhaps.  So exciting!  Soon I will have canes to match every outfit.  hahaha yeh right.  I also started acupuncture at physio yesterday; we are hoping that the acupuncture will help speed up the healing of my wound.  In 2 weeks we should know whether it's been working or not.  Cross your fingers - I figure it won't hurt to at least try it.  It feels like this wound is never going to heal but I am trying to stay positive that in will in time ....... my goal is by the new year;  that will be about a year since the wounds developed.
Just relaxing well getting acupuncture
I'm also pretty excited about planning Alyssa's 2nd Birthday Party.  We are doing a DORA theme and I have already made the invites.  I spent about 5.5 hours on them but they are super cute and absolutely A-DORA-ABLE hahaha!!!!!  We have booked the tumblebus for an hour and look forward to seeing all the kids have a blast. 



Alyssa is also loving gymnastics ... it's so cute to watch her develop into a little gymnast.  I am sad that I can't do the activities with her but its fun watching her have a blast with Daddy or Gamma and Papa.  Maybe next year or even in the new year ????  


I'm looking forward to next week.  It's going to BUSY BUSY BUSY but so much fun exciting things happening.  Tuesday night my mom and I are taking Alyssa to see the Wiggles at Center in the Square.  I am super excited to see her dance to all the music-I may even join in lol.  Wednesday, Dan and I are going to see Russell Peters and he has arranged for a 'meet and greet' after the show.  Super excited to meet him.  Huge fan of his :)   Then Sunday night we are going to Rocktoberfect at Queensmount.  I've never been, should be fun.

Anyway, Alyssa is now up ---- I will update soon :)
Much love, LoLo

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 ...
