Trip is off but it's not the end of the world

Marc saw the doctor yesterday and she said is what ok...until he told her the length of the bus trip, at which point she seemed unsure and nervous. Also his blood is low and that worries me a bit, it hasn't been low in a long time. Anyways we agreed that if the doctor did not give the ok and sounded 100% sure about it we would not go. She said it might be ok if he wears two stockings but even then it wasn't 100%. We do not, I DO NOT need to have someone else in the hospital. We are a little sad that we can't go, we wanted to see family and our little niece (we couldn't wait to see her! She's at that age, over 6 months, where they are a lot of fun). We were going to bring her some gifts (cause she needs to be spoiled by her aunt and uncle) but now we are going to mail them over. The shipping is not too bad so we just need to agree on what to send her lol.

Maybe in a year his leg will be a little better and traveling for long periods will not be that bad. We could have taken the plane but it was too much, and I have never been out there (never been past Toronto) so taking the bus sounded more appealing. Marc and I also like long road trips together :)

Marc decided he is going to get a dehumidifer (I hope that is spelled right), our place gets really humid in the summer and apparently this can help. We don't mind the heat, it's the humidity that is killer. Thing is they are not cheap and we are hesitant to spend almost 300$ on something that may not work well or break down.

The hunt is on!

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)
