INSOMNIA!!

I'm up in the middle of the night. For some reason (probably age and hormonal changes, i.e. menopause) this is not uncommon for me. Usually in the winter, I sleep ok - because I'm married to igloo man and we have the window open whether it's 50 degrees or -5. Although I tease him about trying to freeze me to death, I actually sleep pretty good when it's cold outside. For some reason tonight, though, I'm awake and it's 2:00 in the morning. I tend to have to get out of bed when I start thinking or worrying about something. It's not normal stuff that I worry about, either. When Zach was about 18 months old, I woke up in the middle of the night once and started worrying that a mountain lion would come into Crystal and Brandon's backyard and attack him. It's not like they live in the mountains, at all, they live in Millcreek!! But, I laid there terrified worrying about it and had to get up. When I'm fretting about something, it usually involves my grandbabies or my kids. Usually the only way to fix it is to turn on the television and have something to concentrate on other than what I'm fretting about. Tonight I'm up worrying about my diet that I'm starting tomorrow. I kept thinking about it and had to get up and read the manual to make sure we were going to do it correctly. Actually, I'm probably worrying more about KayeLynn being on the diet than myself. I've already done it - but, she hasn't. I want it to work for her so badly!!

But, since I was awake, I decided to play with my blog a little more. I figured out why it was such a mess. Yes, everytime you try and add something, it clogs it up a little more and a little more. So everytime I tried to change my background, it just stacked up with all the rest of the crap. So, when I figured that out - I was able to change my background. Then I realized I could move stuff around a little more. So - in the end, it was productive insomnia!!

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...
