Brandon


Today is Brandon's birthday. Brandon came into my life a little over five years ago. I was telling my daughter, Crystal, that I was thinking of internet dating; you see there were a couple people at work that said I had been single long enough and that I needed to think about dating again. Crystal told me that I should do it, too. Then she told me that she had gone on a web site and that she had gone on a date with a guy she had met from the dating site. My very beautiful daughter was on a dating site. Well, next thing I knew, they were dating kind of regularly.

I met Brandon one warm spring evening. Crystal, Rodger and myself were trying to get the Camaro (AKA Satan's car) from Skywest to our home. It made it to 700 North Redwood before it died. We had to have it towed to he mechanic (a very familiar place for that piece of silver junk). Brandon came to the scene and that is where we met. We kind of bonded that day over words and Chinese food - you see we were both liberals in our way of thinking and we have always seemed to get along.

It's crazy to think how fast things happened from there - he became the father of my grandson and my son-in-law in a very short time. A few years later, he became the father of my granddaughter. He and Crystal make very beautiful children.

Brandon and Crystal were kind of made to be together. The term "made for each other" seems perfect for them. They are a great couple and team. I know there are times that they drive each other a little crazy - but, don't we all!!

There is one thing I really want him to know - I love the man he is and I appreciate all he does, not only for my daughter and grandchildren, but for everyone. He is truly a giving person - and I love him dearly. Happy Birthday, Brandon!

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...
