CANADA EH?
Today was a loooong road trip. We ventured our way over to Canada, since it’s supposedly “The Best Place on Earth”. The family was excited because this was their first time there. Since we only planned a day trip, I tried to get as much sightseeing in as I can. We started off a Granville [...]

FOLLOW-UP
Today was my 2 week post-op check. Doc says I’m healing really well and that I can finally remove all the steri strips which was a real relief because it was causing me to itch real bad. The latest pathology report did conclude that the type of cancer I had was indeed Leiomyosarcoma and that [...]

Yay, my dad came in this morning and I can’t be any happier! My recovery is going well. I realized a couple days ago that my body is having an allergic reaction to my pain medication so I had to lower my dosage a notch.
UNDER THE SEA
Today is my first outing since my discharge from the hospital. I’m easily exhausted so I can’t be on my feet for too long which is why I prefer to stay home. My family made plans to go to the Seattle Aquarium today. I’m sure they’re tired of being cooped up in the house. As [...]

A PANDA & 3 PUPPIES
I got discharged from UW hospital yesterday, which I thought was a little too quick considering I just had major surgery four days ago. They removed all my staples and replaced it with steri strips. My PICC line was also removed and my poor arm looks so bruised up. I’ve been feeling quite miserable since [...]

Working with him has been an incredible journey. He has always been so upfront about the pros and [...]
