My birthday...

Today is Valentine's Day. It's never held a lot of importance for me. I guess because my birthday is the day before - - so it always just kind of ran into the other. I always tried to make Valentine's a little more important for my kids - but, now they get nothing!! Sad - I should still get them something. I do try to send something to my grandbabies, though.

Anyway, back to the title - my birthday. I woke up really, really, really grumpy. My husband, who sometimes doesn't think, woke me up at 5:30 in the morning - well, if you pay much attention to me (which I probably wouldn't), you know that I complain constantly about having insomnia. So, when he woke me up, I couldnt' go back to sleep. I went through all these plans in my head from divorce to homicide several times yesterday morning. All because he woke me up!! Anyway, I've decided the last couple of years that I want my birthday to have childlike fun. Last year, I set up a children's birthday party at Fat Cats and we all went bowling and had pizza (oh, and of course we had yummies, too). This year, since I'm on the diet, we couldn't be anywhere near pizza!! We went to the Planetarium then to dinner. I had so much fun wandering through the Planetarium - - Zach telling me about the planets, his favorite is Neptune you know. We watch the pendulum going back and forth knocking down the pins. We walked on the moon and on Mars.


After that, we went to dinner at Jason's Deli. The destination was chosen because it had salad for KayeLynn and I - - oh my gosh, I have never wanted soup so bad in my life! They had some soups that looked so freaking awesome - my mom's chicken noodle soup that she ordered looked heavenly (she sent it back for something else, because she said it was too salty, so I guess appearances are deceiving). I did really good at first, then I decided that in lieu of birthday cake, KayeLynn and I were going to share a mini bran muffin. The muffins there are itty bitty, I didn't think eating a half one would be a big deal. That's what I know!! I ended up going back for several more - - and then, since of course I'm fat and I think like a fat person, I figured that I screwed up the day now, I'm gonna have an ice cream cone. I ended up going back for another one. So, in celebration of my birthday, I overate bran muffins and ice cream!!! Hip Hip Horray!!

I just want my family to know that I had a great day!! And, I did forgive Ted for waking me up - - - I love you all!!!!

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...
