Busy Busy Busy .......

THURSDAY OCTOBER 16TH 2014 @ 9:03pm: relaxing in bed, blogging and watching a movie 

HOW I FEEL:  tired, I think I am still recovering from a BUSY week and weekend --- I'm 30 but feel like I'm 80 sometimes haha

 Busy Busy Busy is exactly how I can describe the last week.  Awesome week and I am still recovering lol.  Tuesday night; my mom and I took Alyssa to the Wiggles.  She loved it .... she just sat there taking it all in and I think was a little confused why Wiggles were on the stage and not TV lol.  This was her 2nd live show - in March she saw The Backyardigans.  It was a goodnight out with 2 of my favorite people.  Alyssa also enjoyed having a sleepover with mommy and GAMMA :)


Wednesday Night; was probably the BEST date night EVER!!!!!!!  Dan and I went and saw Russell Peters at the Aud.  We had bought the tickets months before and I was super excited to see him Live.  I have watched all his DVD's on Netflix and tons of Utube videos.   He is hilarous and even funnier seeing Live.  We had seats on the floor - it was great except for being squished right beside a stranger like shoulder to shoulder.  I don't think I have ever laughed so hard in my life lol!!!!!!!  After the show, we had backstage passes to meet RUSSELL PETERS .... yep I said it we got to meet him face to face and even better we got a picture with him.  Overall, an amazing night - lots of laughs, a few drinks and stayed up way past my bedtime bahahaha (there I go again sounding like an old lady).  
 Passes for meet and greet :):)

Awesome just Awesome :)

 Long weekend we were busy with family Thanksgiving dinners and then Sunday night we had tickets to Rocktoberfest.  I had never been before, Dan wanted to go because one of his favorite bands The Trews was playing.  It was a fun night, however standing for 4.5 hours straight was not fun and I definitely paid for that for a day or two afterwards.  I enjoyed the live music, drinks with my hubby and again another late night (which I'm still recovering from) lol.  
@ Rocktoberfest 

Physio is coming along ---- I'm starting to see progress quicker then Ever.  We have really been focusing on posture, and strengthening my bad leg.  I do a lot of exercises with weights on my leg and focusing on trying to stand and put all weight on my back leg.  It's crazy how much you forget when you haven't walked in such a long time.  I literally have to retrain my brain how to do things and how to communicate to life it properly, to stop hip hiking, to use the correct muscles, to coordinate everything and focus on my core as well.  It's so many things at one time, that it's information overload.  However, each day seems to be getting better.  We have set some goals my therapist and I.  I'm not sure if I mentioned these goals in my last post ---- I am hoping to be walking with no cane come February and in Spring of 2015, signing myself up at a gym and doing my own workout routine.  It's important that I stay healthy and fit to protect the muscle and tissue around the implant.  I don't want to have to replace my implant for 30 years, instead of 15 years you know?  I'm pretty excited for the improvements I'm making and I'm even more important to announce in my blog that I'm walking with no assistance.  Oh, I almost forgot --- my new pink came in the mail.  BYE BYE old lady silver cane and HELLO fun pink cane :)  I've been rocking this cane around the house and short distances outside of the house.  It's hard work but I am so determined to walk with NOTHING, that I do what I got to do. 

Anyhow, I am falling asleep well typing lol .... I will blog more tomorrow night or during day when I'm a little more awake.  I want to share with you some struggles I've been facing.

Have a nice night 

Nite Nite

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 k...

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...

And so my anxiety begins .....

MONDAY OCTOBER 27TH 2014 @ 8:25pm: in bed watching 2 Broke Girls and eating chocolate mmmm lol HOW I FEEL : tired .... stressed out .... exhausted Sooooo like the title of my blogspot states .... My anxiety for my 1 Year checkup has begun.  I know right? 1 year already since my surgery and since I was told I officially kicked Cancers Ass #screwyousarcoma #youwillneverwin.  My appointment is next Tuesday - bloodwork, X-ray and appointment with Dr. Ghert....the usual process.  For some reason my anxiety seems higher because I really want to say I've been 1 year Cancer free.  I just get so worked up and I ask myself if these appointments will EVER get easier,  I'm told not really .... The anxiety gets less and less but never fully goes away.  Awhile back I had joined this Facebook group for individuals that have or had chandrosarcomas .... In the beginning it seemed pretty awesome, reading other people's stories (from all over the world) and sharing mine...
