Am I Ready for This?


So, this last week has been kinda nice. I left work last Tuesday and go back tomorrow. I only took four hours vacation to get this mini vacation, because it's shift change and I am changing shifts. Not just a mild change, but I am going to the graveyard shift.

Now, I was a dyed-in-the-wool graveyarder about four years ago. And, I still love the whole different world that the graveyard shift offers; but, I haven't done it for four years. I have become the dreaded morning person. Now, to me, sleeping in is 7:00. I have been trying to adjust a little bit, I have been staying up til around midnight or 1:00, but, I'm back up at 8:00 and tired the rest of the day - not great for accomplishing much. Especially since I thought I could maybe get some painting finished and such. Oh well!!

I am really kind of excited about this. It' a whole new world. Maybe a little calmer atmosphere. I get to see daylight, or lighted haze, in my off hours (the reason I hate January is that it's dark, hazy and cold!!). Can't wait to see how this month turns out, a little extra money, a little less stress (hopefully) - maybe I'll just decide to stay there; doubtful, but you never know!!

    I don't understand why you didn't take me with you! What if you decide you like it and never come back??? If I decide to not give you the extra money, will you come back then???

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...
