Long Needed Update...
Well holy man, am I ever bad at this blogging thing lately! Sorry for the lack of updates.I guess the biggest news is that the surgery didn't happen! The little monkey is doing a fantastic job all on his own, and he doesn't need his auntie's help right now lol. The doctors did all the pre-admission stuff and discovered that Keenan is too healthy to do the transplant right now. This is very good news! The doctors won't say if or when he'll need it, but for now we're just living life as normal. Honestly, I wasn't entirely sure how to react when I first heard that he didn't need the surgery. I spent two weeks flipping my life upside down to get tested, taking time off work, and mentally preparing myself for the surgery as well as the recovery period. That in and of itself was an emotional process (shed the tears in Fran's Restaurant to prove it!). Then, to be told that the surgery wasn't going to happen...I honestly didn't know what to do. I didn't know how to react. I was obviously very excited for Keenan because the longer he can hold off the surgery because he's healthy, the better. I was excited for myself because I wasn't going to have to go through the surgery or the recovery....but at the same time I was disappointed. I was upset because I wanted to be able to help him. I felt really good knowing I was doing something to help him...and all of a sudden it was gone. SO it took a walk with Matt, some talking and hugs but I finally wrapped my head around it. Of course I had tons of questions like how do I live my life now? Do I still refrain from drinking, do I still refrain from tylenol and etc...what on earth do I do? So I talked to Colin and Crystal about it and they've told me to live my life like I normally would and when the time comes that Keenan needs the transplant they'll give me warning. And if it happens that I'm not able to do it, well then they'll find somebody else. They don't want me putting my life on hold. So, I can accept that.
What else is new? Oh yeah...DRESS SHOPPING!!!! My parents are coming to Sudbury tomorrow and we're starting dress shopping! I can't wait to get into the bridal shops and start drooling over dresses lol. I'm also excited because I keep losing weight, so I'll be feeling pretty damn sexy while I try them on. (I hope!). I've been warned that wedding dress sizes tend to be made small, so not to be surprised if I have to get a dress that's 2 or more sizes bigger than I normally wear. Not sure how I'll react to that yet lol.
Well, that's pretty much all the major news for now. Matt and I scored tickets to go see The Tragically Hip on January 27th. We're very excited!!! They weren't cheap, but they're floor tickets, and we haven't been to a concert in over a year! We're definitely looking forward to it!
I'm freezing my little buns off, so I'm going to find my slippers and a blanket and I'm going to await Matt's arrival.
