Disneyland - Day One!!

We went to Disneyland for our first day. This is a trip of all girls. All grown up girls!! Some would see us as a group of elderly, old ladies. I am here with my four sisters (one is my brother's wife) and my 82-year-old mother.

It started out with the six of us getting up and ready for our "early" entrance and trying to get six women ready with one bathroom (we did have two sinks) is not easy!



The even more comical part was the six of us trying to find a way to the park. Here we are, walking hotel to hotel trying to find out how to get on the bus. A different story was told at each hotel how to get there. Eventually, a city bus came along and told us there was another one coming that would go to the park. The driver on that bus looked at us like we were ABSOLUTELY FREAKING CRAZY!!! He just told us to get on the bus and didn't charge us. Took us around to the other street and let us off in front of the park.

We then went and got a wheelchair and we were off!! We did the usual stuff, however, we did it MUCH FASTER!! They pretty much have California Adventure set up where wheelchairs go through the usual entrances, but, at Disneyland, you go through the exit and get on quicker. We flew through pretty much every line...it was rather awesome. And we didn't do it to do that, my 82-year-old mama needed the wheelchair. She can walk, but, she has a bum back and a bum knee, so she really did need the chair.

Wendy and I got our faces painted!!! We were so freaking adorable!!! We had twinsy flowers on our cutest faces!!




We ended the day by going over to California Adventure to see the new show, The World of Color. It's like Fantasmic, but different music, etc. It was really cool. Before we went there, we went on Soaring Over California. It was Wendy and my sister Cheryl's first time. I love going on that ride with people for their very first time, because it is so amazing!! I love telling them to SMELL the pine, the oranges, the ocean!!





Today, we are going back to California Adventure. It's gonna be another LONG day, but I am having the time of my life with my sister's and my mom!!!

    I'm jealous but glad your having a great time. You needed a break from all the hubbub! Enjoy it. Your bus story reminds me of when Josh and I were in D.C. and we got on the merto to go to the arts museum only to find out we walked 6 blocks to the same spot we got on the metro and there it was a block away! Bahhh lol

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...
