Day 18 - A Book You Could Read Over and Over Again and not Get Sick of.

There are very few books I have read more than once.  I could probably count them on one finger - maybe two.  Not only that, it has become more and more unlikely for me to read at all.  I used to love to read - and would do it pretty much every night and every day. When the kids were younger, we would go to the library and check out books pretty much every week.  Now, I don't know the last time I really read a book.  Very sad.  I even stopped my newspaper, because it would sit and sit and nothing would get read.

I used to love to go up to my bed and lay in it and read and read.  Now I go to bed when I am ready to go to sleep and I turn on the television and let it play til I fall asleep.  Ted comes to bed and turns off the television and goes to sleep.  Exciting, eh?

There is one book that I do love.  It's called Wildest Dreams.  It supposed to be a romance novel, but, I don't see it to be a romance novel.  It's about a man and a woman's trek across the country in a wagon train.  He is heading to Montana, she is heading to Denver.  They fall in love on the way and she leaves her family and goes with him.  The book chronicles their lives together and how they grow old together and the trials and tribulations they go through.  I think I've read the book two or three times.

Maybe one day I'll get back to reading.  Not sure when it will be.

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...
