A Few Extra Days as Friends…

Well, yesterday I got a call from my surgeons office “We need to move your surgery to April 16, is that okay?”

It’s going to have to be I guess…the last week or so has been pretty stressful to say the least. I know the weight of what is going on has been taking a toll on everyone in my family. I have been having a bit of cold feet just because of the whole surgery thing; I haven’t broken anything before and haven’t needed to stay in the hospital other then when I had my daughter. I think that is the biggest thing that is making me bug out a bit still. I just need to keep reminding myself that I am doing this to be healthy for my family!

On the bright side I get to have a couple extra days at the gym and get to enjoy a few more good meals before I part with my stomach and a bit more time to finish the blanket I am making for my daughter. We had a nice weekend away at Lake Louise; ate some amazing food in Banff (hot rock cooking and fondue at The Grizzly House) and in the village of Lake Louise for breakfast at the Hostel. This weekend we are planning on cooking a turkey for Easter, and being able to have company is nice and will help to keep my mind off of what is ahead.  The next 2 weeks will sure be busy trying to get together with friends for a drink and some food, and to just enjoy the time together.

I can never say enough about how much my significant other has supported me through this; I know this isn’t easy on him and we definitely have been struggling here and there but we pull it together and work as a team after a brief period of weakness. He’s awesome at helping me talk through my emotions; and work things out. I am so thankful to have him here!

Well goodnight all, take care and all the best until next time.
