Healing journey

I couldn't have chosen a better team of doctors and nurses to take care of me while at VGH.  When I left to come home I gave thank you cards to those who tended to me most as they had become my friends.  Of course I wanted to come home and return to somewhat of a normal life but leaving was harder than I thought it would be.  I hugged & cried with a few nurses as I walked to the elevator wearing my new sweatsuit and Addidas runners mom had just got me. Mom really wants me to throw out and old and over-worn hoodie and think this was her making a point!

I've now been home 3 sleeps, about to be 4, and settling back in to a new routine.  Tomorrow I have orientation with the hyperbaric chamber team hopefully to get me starting my sessions ASAP.  I really need to heal in order to get Winnie and the margins needed to remain cancer free.  Lately I've been saying "Team Winnie"....never thought I'd say that months back.

This coming week brings forth packing, with friends and family coming to my apartment Saturday and Sunday.  I have some fierce packers signed up and think all will be done sooner than later.  Simba will no doubt be mad at me but once he settles in to our new home all will be forgotten.

I know lots of you receive my blog updates via the email link vs looking on my actual site.  Please know the email link is a "do not reply" service.  I will NOT receive any emails from you that way.  You're able to comment via website blog using a signed in gmail account or click Anonymous writing your comment choosing to sign your name or not.  Many of you choose to email me directly and that too is fine.  Looking on the actual site also shows you pictures I post via Instagram. To see the caption just click on the picture. This is where the magic happens!

My legs feel better and I'm sitting longer so progress is being made. The pain is still there but it's manageable and hope to be back driving soon.  If you want to invite yourself over for a visit please don't be shy as your visits are the light keeping me going and I thank you dearly.

XOXO
