My Recovery

Happy CYBER Monday!!

Did any of you get some good deals today?  Before 8 am, my personal Inbox was FULL!  I heard somewhere on the news that since the majority of people have smart phones now, they project this to be the biggest cyber Monday yet!

My Recovery

I wanted to share with you all that my Recovery is going REALLY well.  I can take showers, use the restroom, and I can walk with crutches all by myself!!!!  I have also been able to space out my pain medicine too!  I especially don't like taking pain meds so this has been a goal, to space out my pain meds as soon as I was able to, with the hopes of no longer needing them.  I feel as if this week I 'turned a corner' as far as my recovery is going.

These bad boys have been my mode of transportation...



Christmas Decorations

Over the last couple of days, I have been able to slowly but surely decorate my house for my most favorite holiday of the year... CHRISTMAS!!  I've decorated my tree, and put out various decorations and it has really been a nice distraction for me.  Most of the time, I do a little bit, then I go sit down, do a little bit more, then go sit down!  Soon enough I will have it all done!!

Here is my favorite ornament, it is the year I met Nate, and it was a gift from My Mom!  Little did I know that when My Mom gave this to us in 2008, Nate had already purchased the diamond for my engagement ring!  It's the centerpiece on my tree now!

Here is my Naughty & Nice tree!  I just love it!

Earlier this year, I started hand-painting little village houses to create my very own Christmas village.  I have seven houses just about done and two more that Im working on.  I love these houses the most!  I still have to add the glitter (for the snow), and seal them and they will be all done!  I can't wait!


Next to the house on the top right, I laid down a Keurig K-Cup next to it for size reference.  These village houses are tiny!


Radiation Consultation

Good News! I got in touch with my new Radiation doctor.  She is located in the Roseville Area!!  Her name is Dr. Sharon Dutton.  Here is her picture.


I have my Consultation appointment with her this week.  At this appointment, I will need to bring all of my MRI Images with me.  This is so she can view the images, and get an idea where the tumor was and therefore what tissues the cancer would have touched.  That way she can 'target' the radiation exactly where she thinks the cancer once was.  Im really excited to meet her and her staff and get this Radiation started!!

This is one of my favorite quotes... I choose the last choice on this list!!


Thank you for reading!

  3. Glad you are getting around, and taking breaks as needed :) It's good to get off the pain pills but don't forget you can take 1/2 pill too just to take the edge off. Pain tells the brain to lock the muscles for protection. Its so hard to get the knots out after chronic pain. It's good to trick your brain every once in a while :) As you probably know, pain can also subside from mere rest. The house looks great! Love the decorations and gifts!
