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 wake up with my munchie.  I am very thankful for having this 2nd chance at life and being able to be home for Christmas because let me tell you --- Christmas in the hospital is VERY depressing and lonely.  My family was great last year at having Christmas up at the hospital but it just wasn't the same.  Everyone thought I was crazy because the Christmas decorations came out first week of November and the tree was up and presents bought and wrapped and under the tree.  I am totally on the ball with everything Christmas related this year and it feels GOOD!!!  Everyone who knows me knows that I'm pretty particular about my tree and the placement of the decorations LOL .... the kids have there tree and I have mine that NOONE touches lol.  This year my mom helped me decorate and put it up or else it would've been a difficult task without her help.  



Soooo it's official I will be returning to work January 7th :):)  I met with my work last week to discuss arrangements and I left that meeting feeling very excited.  It's crazy to think I've been off work for 2 years, hard to believe sometimes.  I go back looking forward to it but also feel alittle nervous and anxious.  All good feelings of course but it's been 2 years and A LOT has changed at my work.  I should clarify --- things have changed in a good way but I am sure there will be things I need to be retrained on but then part of me feels like after a week or two I will get right back into the swing of things.  I will be returning 3 days a week and 2 hours a day to start.  Doesn't seem like a lot but I'm sure in a month or so I will be increasing those hours.  I will be continuing to do my physio 3 times a week for the month of January.  I like to think I'm a good planner and organizer so I will be able to juggle returning to work, physio, doctors appointments, household chores and being the best mommy I can for my munchie. 




I hope everyone has a Safe and Fabulous Christmas and Happy New Year!!!!!  :)

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...
