Day 25 - Someone Who Fascinates You and Why

UGH - another question that makes me have to think of something to say.  I have tried to think about all the people I know that fascinate me - and there are quite a few.  Ted is definitely a fascinating individual.  I have three kids, all individuals, who all intrigue me like crazy.  I have a mother who I absolutely adore and admire.  There are lots of other people in my life that I find interesting and fascinating.

I think I'll take a different tact though and talk about someone I admire and find absolutely fascinating.  This may be odd and I am not really sure how to go about it.  This is someone I have gotten to know a little better over the last couple of years and wish that other people knew her like I did.  Maybe they would appreciate her more.  She is freaking smart and knows her stuff.  I wish I had a fraction of the knowledge that she does. But, she doesn't use that knowledge to make you feel stupid if you are wrong - but, knowing her as I do, I know exactly when she is telling me that I have my facts wrong.  She is highly under estimated by those who should know her true value.  She is crazy fun and funny.  She truly cares about the people in her care.

Even though there may be a couple of times that she has made me a bit crazy, I wish people who work for her, with her and above her understood what a great asset she is.  She deserves to be treated alot better than she is - thanks for believing in me Roxann!!

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...
