Once again, I get to sail on Island Stream on Lake Washington. But this time, I’m bringing my brother and his family along for the ride. I just love being out in the water, it’s calm and relaxing. chilling at the bow with Linda Unfortunately, I was not allowed to go swimming mainly because my [...]
ALMOST COMPLETE
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 [...]
WITH LOVE, FROM GERMANY
It’s been a week since my surgery and I’m recovering quite well. I’ve been able to catch up on Storage Wars and Game of Thrones. My eating habits are a lot better and I’m walking around a lot more. Best part of today was that my dear brother Carlo, awesome sister-in-law Darlene, and beautiful niece [...]
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 [...]
MY HERO
I want to acknowledge and give a great big shout out to Dr. Venu Pillarisetty, my surgical oncologist. He exuded so much confidence in his own capabilities, I knew from day one I was in good hands. Working with him has been an incredible journey. He has always been so upfront about the pros and [...]
POINT A TO POINT B
It has been 2 days since surgery and already they have me getting up and walking around. This is really hard to do since the pain of getting in/out of bed is agonizing. On another note, I’m able to eat normal food again. So I decided to go for the beef tenderloin as my first [...]
GIRL POWER
I want to start off by thanking my dearest friends for being there every step of the way. From helping create the website, to planning events, and helping me to get up to walk around. Day one of recovery has been quite painful. My incision hurts more than the first surgery. I have the worst [...]
WIGGLE YOUR BIG TOE
Here’s a quick recap of my surgery day: I started my pre-surgery prep work at 8am Friday morning and didn’t finish till about 11pm. By far the worst day of August! I was instructed to drink MoviPrep, a powdered mix with water. It tasted just like floral perfume…absolutely disgusting! I had till noon to finish [...]
THE BIG DAY
Wish me luck! I love you guys!!!
COME SAIL AWAY
Today is my last day of freedom before my pre-surgery prep work. What better way to spend it than on Lake Washington! Thanks to my good friend Devin who took me out on his family boat “Island Stream” and sailed me away from all my stress. Although the weather wasn’t all that great, I still [...]
FEELING LOVED
I just want to express my sincere gratitude with a BIG “Thank You” to everyone who has offered their love, prayers, and support. The overwhelming response I received the last twenty-four hours has brought me so much joy and confidence in knowing that this upcoming surgery will be a success. Prayer is my personal comfort- [...]
