Things That Make You Go HMMMM - #4

KayeLynn and I went and got our hair cut, colored and beautified today.  She right before heading back to school - me in an attempt to cover the skunk streak that was going straight down my head.

I overheard a conversation - and I missed the first part of it.  There was this gentleman who was explaining the goings on of the Olympic Games being held in London, United Kingdom at this very moment to a woman who was also waiting.  Everything in the world is revolving around these games that occur every four years.  The biggest world-wide sporting event of this age - of every age - from ancient times to now.  He was explaining about the gymnastics and how the men had not done so well and the women had been amazing - he was explaining about Michael Phelps and his breaking a world record in medals won - he was explaining about the basketball team.  I was under the impression that she just had not been paying attention - how that was possible when I can't even watch the games right now without already knowing what happened because of the craziness of the internet, is beyond me.

WHAT I DIDN'T KNOW was the part of the conversation that I missed.  KayeLynn had explained to me that the reason this gentleman had been telling her this was because this woman had NO IDEA what the Olympics were.  How is this possible for an adult woman not to know what the Olympics are??  How could this woman even say that she had never heard of the Olympics and keep a straight face.  Because if she really has no idea what they are - who is she and where did she come from?

HMMMMMMM.

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...
