Disneyland with Harper

Harper had her opportunity to go on her one-on-one trip with me this last week. We had a wonderful time. We caught the very early flight to get to Orange County. Uber'ed to the hotel. Checked in and Uber'ed to the park. We spent our first afternoon in Disneyland. We didn't get a lot done, but we managed to get most of Fantasyland, Tiki Room and Pirates of the Carribean done before we headed back to the pool. My whole body hurt. I was really happy to spend some time in the hot tub. And I did that EVERY night. The second day we spent at California Adventure. This is the first time ever that I did not go on Soarin'. The wait was just too long. But we did manage to get almost everything else we wanted to get done finished up and we had a great time. I found these pickles. They were so freaking good. I had cravings for them the rest of the trip and after. The last day was spent at Disneyland. We finished up pretty much everything else we wanted to go on. She had a great time. I had a great time. I came back battered and bruised - - read bad knee and falling up stairs. But, I wouldn't change a thing. I just love these trips.

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...
