Day 26 - If You Had $1,000,000 to Spend, How Would You Spend it?

A girl can dream, can't she??  Oh, let me count the ways!!!

The first order of business would be to pay off all debt.  I don't know if I would continue working or not - as I could retire and since I had that million dollars and my debt would be gone, paying health insurance premiums wouldn't be too horrible - who knows.

I would probably give all the kids a bit of cash to pay off some of their debts, too.

And whenever I felt my fancy being tickled, I would give wonderful donations of $1000 or so to whatever charity interested me at the moment - just whenever.  Mostly Make-A-Wish, diabetes or cancer research and things like that.

I would invest half - not sure in what or how.  But, it would be a good plan to save for later.  That way, I could play on the interest.

I would remodel some of my house - I would get my fireplace going the very first thing.  Get new carpeting or even hardwood floors in my living room.  New furniture.  Maybe a new kitchen, I hate my kitchen.  OK, I don't hate my kitchen really, I just hate the lack of cupboard and drawer space.

The last thing I would do is plan for two vacations - very nice vacations.  The first one would be just a trip for two - maybe a European tour or a very long cruise.  That would be for Ted and I.  The other would be a vacation for all of my family - not really sure what I would do there; a cruise where we all have a gorgeous suite, an all-inclusive resort, a theme park journey or what.  But, we would do something extremely awesome.

That money I invested - - it would be used from then on to do awesome and wonderful things.

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...
