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!!!

  1. 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 - Purpura?? What is that??

 Defnition: Purpura - noun - the appearance of purple or red spots on the skin and mucous membranes caused by bleeding underneath the skin due to small blood vessels bursting.  These spots can range in size from small dots (petechiae) to larger patches (ecchymosis or bruises) and may indicate underlying health issues.   Sadly, when people see my arms, I get many responses and questions.   From how are you doing?  How are you feeling?  OR what is up with your arms???  My BFF literally said, what the hell is wrong with your arms?? Like I had been out in the parking lot bruising myself up intentionally.  And we had just talked about it a couple of weeks before when she saw it. Are they pretty??  No.  But, they truly are the way I know the status of my health.  Between seeing this stuff show up on my arms and my overall general state of strength lets me know if I should be concerned.   Right now, my arms are actually look...

CoCo's Journey - Sleeping with Jeff AND Camilla

  Well, the day has come and gone.  I got my new and fancy attachment coming out of my face.  It was a horrible experience.  I thought I was going to go absolutely insane and take out the people putting it in me.  But, let's talk about it real quick. I got an NJ tube.  I thought I was going to be getting an NG tube.  What is an NJ tube?  It's a tube for feeding that is placed through the nose and snaked down past the stomach and into the jejunal.  The jejunal is in the small intestine.  The nasojejunal tube is more complex and has a few more risks than the nasogastric tube.  But, apparently, it's the best choice for me.   So let's talk about the actual procedure.  I knew from the beginning, when they squirted lidocaine in my two nostrils to kind of deaden it that it was going to be COMPLETELY horrible!!!  And then needed me to sniff it down to kind of deaden my throat, to make the tube a little more comfortable g...
