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

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...

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 eve...
