we were going to get Coralyn's and my costume. Coralyn is going to be a 80's impersonater and im going to be a greek godess. spasificly Venus!

well, this is my costume ---------------------->

isn't it perdy?

Anyway, we came back home and Olivia went to riding and Angus went to drumming with Joelene. and Coralyn got it in her head that we need to go with some of our friends to the haunted house in Sidney. which is sooooooooo scary. it is called Braineater.ca if you want to look it up...

well I'm insisting that I will not go and that it is way to scary. but she is so determined!!!(darn her mule headiness!!)

our friend Jeff might come with us, maybe we don't know yet.

well we will see if we go or not!

Bus's, Riding horses, Allergy's, and Little Sister.

So on the 19th Olivia and Angus had swim club, and since mom had to go to a meeting, I had to bus with them down town to crystal pool. I didn't mind but it was a long way and I was really tired. Anyway, the pool has a really nice workout section and I didn't even bring my shorts. darn!! well the club lasted for two hours and Olivia took sooo long in the shower that the time when we got out was six pm. so we got on the bus back home. the end.

"Or so I thought"

The next day mom took the van in to get the screeching breaks fixed.(hallelujah!!!) and asked if I could take Olivia to Riding. well lets just say I am a really nice sister! So at 12:24 we were at the same bus stop taking the same bus. but this time I had something to make my life a little more interesting. my baby sister! and she didn't have a nap.......... (sigh) well I messed up the time and we were waiting there for a half hour. While we were waiting I put Joelene on Angus' backpack and strapped it to his chest. then being the big knowledgeable sister that I am said "that's what it fells like to be pregnant for nine months, Angus" his eyes opened wide and he was about to say something when the bus came around the corner. I grabbed the baby bag my backpack and the stroller told Olivia to get on and help Angus (who still had the baby strapped to him). Once we were on the bus I parked the stroller and sat next to Angus, then I took Joelene off of him. as soon as she was on my lap he says "if that's what it feels like to be pregnant, I'm never having a baby!" I'm pretty sure so part of me died in that bus. even more when the lady beside me started to laugh uncontrollably.

when we got to the next bus stop that would take us to Keating x road the kids started to act like......... kids. "I'm hungry" I'm thirsty" "can we have dinner yet?" i gave them some of the snacks I packed for the baby, and told them the bus was coming. we sat on the bus for quite some time before we saw our stop. then we started to walk. the stables weren't that far but my knee *(see Knee surgery) was starting to hurt. it was a beautiful sunny day and the kids were all quite so the time flew by and before we knew it we were at the riding ring. we still had an hour to go but it was nice just to sit there and talk to the kids and the employees. when it was Olivia's turn we went out side to watch her, she trotted all by herself and did all sorts of things. I was and am soooo proud. but as we were standing there I started to sneeze and Itch all over. did I tell you that I'm allergic to horses? no? well, I am. I was so mad at not bringing some benadryl that I didn't even see that Angus went and ran back to the office(to get his yo yo) after I had some water I looked around for him but he was gone. I looked and looked but couldn't see him. after about 15 minutes he came running around the side building. First, I got mad then I said that if he ever left me like that again I was going to have a heart-attack. I think he believed me because he didn't leave my side after that.

after the lesson we called my mom who came to pick us up with Aunt Heather. since we were in Auntie Heathers car there wasn't enough seats. so Angus had to hide in the back with a blanket over his head. it was pretty funny, since mom and Auntie Heather were scared that someone would see. but no one did!!! SHHHHHHH.

it was a very cool experience.

The End Of Pain, The Begining Of Movement!

Sept 15, 2010:
I woke up at 6:00AM and had my antibacterial shower with a little scrub brush with a nail brush that hurts on the skin, and has this red goo that smelled SOOOOOOOO BAD!! after the shower I got into my clean clothes and mom and I got into the van. We then checked into the Jubilee Hospital at 7:00 AM and sat down in the surgery waiting-waiting room (there was two). well, after mom checked me in we were sitting for a half hour before the nurse said that I could go in, but the catch was that mom had to stay out. Now allot of people were and are thinking "do you still need your mom to stay with you at 17?" well the answer is that if you were going in for a surgery and you were scared wouldn't you want to have some moral support? I knew that the rooms going to the surgery were three. 1)the waiting room where you are in your gown and they put the IV in your arm. 2)the Doctor's room the doctor's and the surgeons come in and ask you question's and sign the arm, leg, or anything that you are having surgery on. 3)the surgery room the stage the soapbox the action room, where they get to work.
now I knew that mom was allowed into the waiting room because my Sunday school teacher is a worker at the Hospital and she said that I could have mom with me up till room two. but since I was a bit out of it I didn't say any thing.I went and got changed into the blue striped night-gown (that wasn't very comfy). I put all belongings into the locker (expat for the iTouch) and sat on the bed. they then went over to a fridge like thing and brought me two really "HOT" blankets. it was amazing.

After about a half hour I was wheeled into the second room where my surgeon, DR.Stone came singed my left knee saying that he didn't want to get the wrong knee.
which did not help my confidence. The room was cold but the personality's were nice. a women next to me had to have a surgery on her knee cap, it had shattered. she was telling me a little bit about her life and that she soon would be a grand mother to two twin boys.she was also going thou Brest cancer. I said a little prayer for her and said good bye as she was wheeled away. then it was my turn one of the men nurses came out to get me with Dr.stone. they got me into the operating table and strapped me down with two big Velcro straps. then the girl nurse put my arms out on the arm rest and stood beside me as my anaesthetic was placed into the IV. Iwas a little scared and told her so, she then rubbed my arm and told me it was going to be fine and have a nice sleep.I then said good night and fell asleep.zzzzzzzzzz

when I woke up nurse Joan was there to tell me that my surgery went well and that I was just waiting for the sleep to wear off. then I fell back asleep. when I woke for the second time mom was there and she had bought me a book, I was mostly awake now and told her what happened to me. then I fell asleep again. I woke up two more times before I was able to get dressed and get into the van.

when we got home I was so tired again and I was in a wheel-chair so when mom wheeled me into my lavender purple bedroom, I didn't even notice the hearts all over the wall's until I was lying down on my bed. The hearts were everywhere. on the ceiling, the walls, the windows, even my lamp. I was so happy to have all the love around me. the people who did that were my family and friends and I thank them sooo much.(you know who you are)

so any way it has been a long couple of months and from wheel-chair to walker to crutches, you get a kind of respect for those around you who really need them.
I can walk now but cant run and yesterday I walked up the stairs first left then right all the way up all by myself.
working toward running and hiking.
