Zachary is a STAR!



Zac was star of the week this week at preschool. I was invited to go and see his little presentation at preschool. His preschool is probably the coolest thing in the land, they are so good there. Anyway, it was field trip day, and his presentation started off their day. KayeLynn and I went and met Crystal, Brandon, Zac and Chelsea there. When the kids get there, they need to go to the bathroom and wash their hands first off before going into class (how smart is that??), then they all go sit in a circle on the floor. His teacher is Miss Terry and she stood at the class with a poster board of all of Zac's favorite things. His favorite number is five. His favorite planet is Neptune and that's because his favorite color is blue. She asked all the kids to name Zac's favorite things. So freaking cute - they go through the list of his favorites and call out the answers. THEN, my favorite thing of all, the kids then go one-by-one and give reasons why they like Zac. Here are some answers:

He is kind

He is nice

He plays with me

He plays gentle

He is courageous

He is creative

He has a good imagination

And my all time favorite: He plays pirate superheros with me

These are four and five year olds. How freaking cute is that!!! After that cutest of all time thing, his family gets to give why they like Zac. Zac gets to choose who is first. He chose his mom, then his dad, then me, then KayeLynn. It was pretty cute to watch the teacher when she had him introduce us. "This is Coco, this is BooBoo". Obviously, we don't have the most traditional titles in our family. Ted would probably be the most traditional with "Papa", then Crystal is "Kisso", then James Rodger is "Raja or Jaja".

I had the best day today with them. The part of being a mom I always loved was watching my kids grow and learn, to see what they became in their lives. Now, I get to do it as "Grandma Coco". It's crazy to think how big they are getting. Zac will be in kindergarten next fall and Chelsea will be taking his place at the Cooperative Preschool.

P.S. Look Crystal, I called him Zac!!

CoCo's Journey - Ah, Shit!!!

I am exhausted.  Physically.  Mentally.  Is there anything else??  Because I'm sure that is exhausted, too. I went to the doctor today.  I knew it was going to be a lot of information.  I had made a list.  I had my notebook.  I printed out all of the information from my emergency room visit on Saturday to take with me.  Blood tests.  CT Scan.  Urine test.  Plus, I brought my CT scan from March, because I noticed on it that I have a small umbilical hernia.  I was ready.  And I knew what I needed to fight for. I also came armed with gifts.  I love this doctor and his medical assistant so much.  I took them a gift of tortilla chips and homemade salsa.  And I wrote a love note on the bag.  That is how much I appreciate him.  They both loved it.  It even made Hayley get a little weepy, cuz she was having a bad day. I gave him all of my documents, and he went through the blood tests and such fr...

CoCo's Journey - Pre-surgery thoughts

I've been hanging out in my house for the most part.  Hiding from germs.  Hiding from phlegm.  Hiding from coughs.  Hiding from sneezes.  Hiding from snot. Trying to stay healthy until surgery day.  Not that I can hide very well.  Roommate daughter is literally coughing a lung up.  So, she can only hang out with me if she is wearing a mask.  I am bathing in hand sanitizer when I remember.  I'm taking elderberry gummies with a bunch of zinc and vitamin C in order to boost my immunities.   Poor Roommate. Not that I would know much if I did have a cold.  My nose has been running constantly since the day Jeff was pushed up my nostril.  I have a constant sore throat, due to the tube rubbing in the back of my throat.  The worst part is when I'm laying down and roll onto my left side.  It starts to move around and I feel like I'm choking.  It doesn't do it every time, but most of the time.  And I don...

CoCo's Journey - The Notorious Dr. Z

When I get my dressing charges I must wear a mask.  The nurse, too.  So we don't get germs on it!! So, I thought I would share a little bit more about how I got here.  But I'm going to be discussing how I was medically gaslighted, (gaslit -- who knows) and was not treated properly.  And due to that, I am now where I am. When I had my collapse on November 19, 2022, after my knee replacement, I was taken to the emergency room.  The doctor there is the one that told me I was malnourished.  He told me I needed to follow up with my primary care physician (PCP).  When I went to make an appointment with said PCP, I found out my PCP had left the organization, and I no longer had one.  After explaining my situation, they decided to set me up with an appointment with Dr. Z.  I was fine with it, because I needed to get to a doctor.  My first visit, he seemed OK.  But I found him a bit odd.  I'm completely fine with odd, as long as they kn...
