It's a cane world

Totally is. I was thinking today that I really do not notice Marcs cane at all, I don't even remember he has one at times! It has just become part of him....his third leg...or fourth (WOW I need help). I was also thinking about the progression of the cane, from the humble walker cane to the stream lined beast (not really a beast but I'm calling it that).
Random note: My fat tabby is sitting on the computer desk and he likes to dive in for a kiss so forgive any spelling mistakes I might miss.
Yes, Marc started with the walker cane. The cane that has four feet and looks horrible. We were both embarrassed to be seen with that in public but he had a very hard time walking and it gave the most support. After a bit he acquired a new cane. One of those pharmacy curved handle canes. Nothing impressive but It was very old person looking. Yes I can call it that because I am 24 and Marc is 27...we are not old. He searched for stores in Montreal that sell fancy, young looking canes but there was not much available. He then turned to the net and found a few sites. I can not remember the site he got his cane at but Marc insert the link HERE. He searched this website for awhile until he settled on a very nice carbon somethingorother cane. And this stream lined beast has been his cane since April I think. He's going to go buy another cane for the winter, on that is cheap and is ok to get messed up.
This has been a very random post I know and I could add other stuff but I really want to go have lunch.
O! O! O! This weekend we are having our date night here at home. We are going to be making a whole bunch of Indian food...except samosas...we are looking forward to this adventure ^_^

Marc's doctor's visit and more

I forgot to update after Marcs Doctors visit a few weeks ago. It went well, he found out that the clot is not genetic (that's good right?!) but they still don't know what caused it. There are other tests they can do but because of the medication they can't give him the tests. Apparently the medication fucks up the tests. So his INR is still at a good level and he actually bought non prescription compression stockings this weekend. They are Sigvaris but the compression is less. He tried them out yesterday and so far he really likes them, if these stockings work it will save us so much money. His doctor gave him to go ahead to try them and said if they don't work it's a 20$ loss. Today is the real test i guess, Marc is wearing one of them to work. What is good about these is not only the price but they are knee high so they do not fall down and annoy him. (he can get knee high prescription ones but they cost 120 and insurance does not cover them).

So Marcs leg is behaving so far and we are glad it has become something we don't worry or think about on a regular basis anymore. I still check his leg out to see how it is doing but we can relax a little bit.

I turned the big 2-4 last Thursday. Wasn't to bad i guess. I hate my birthdays (not because of the age but because almost every year it has been a disappointment.....). This year Marc decided to leave friends out of it and just spend it together. He gave me perfume (Vera Wang Classic...love it!) and some cake lol. On friday he told me to get all dressed up and he took me to a lovely little Italian restaurant. The food was soooo good! I also got new heels which are so comfortable! Anyways so that was my birthday, it was quiet and good.

In less that a month we are off to celebrate our first year wedding anniversary! We can not wait. It will be a well deserved weekend away from everyone and everything. We can't wait to try all the wine and just relax! My super awesome dress is apparently arriving today. I still can not believe that. I ordered it from the states 2 weeks ago and last week i got an email saying they were behind and that it would ship on the 17th. Ok :(  so i checked today and it is already in Montreal. I have NEVER had something ship that fast from the states. Crazy i tell you....Crazy.

Besides all that life is good. We got our new couch and we are toughly enjoying it (although getting it is a whole other story....never buy anything from Leons...NEVER)
