Dear Emily,

This post is dedicated to you - - and only you!! I am proud that you are one of my work children. I love you!!! You are one awesome cookie!!!

















And just one more thing!!!!! YOU'RE SO VAIN, YOU PROBABLY THINK THIS BLOG IS ABOUT YOU!!! Hee Hee Hee Hee Hee Hee Hee Hee Hee Hee!! I'm laughing out loud - cuz you make me do it!!!






OK - so after I write this, she writes one of the sweetest things in the land about me!!! She made me really teary and weepy because of how sweet she was to me. So, let me just tell you a little more about Miss Emily. She walked into my life one day wanting to test to be a dispatcher. She was the adorable firecracker of a blonde who had the biggest of smiles that I had ever seen. She took that horrible, awful video test and what she didn't know was her husband (a police officer) was pacing around outside wanting to know how she was doing in there. In fact, Patti called her husband as soon as we knew she passed so he knew before she did.

Miss Emily has an amazing gift for design, creation and craftiness (and not the sly mustacioed Snidley Whiplash craftiness, by any means). She makes her own purses and other things. For my birthday, she made me the most adorable little fold up contraption. She intended for me to put all my little keepsakes that I gathered in France in it. Well, that is where they are. I sneaked my hotel room keys, my tickets to the Eiffel Tower, my tickets to the Louvre, tickets for the train and metro and every other little ticket stub and paper I could imagine is all tucked away in this adorable little ribboned clutch.

We had a Christmas contest where people decorated windows. Emily won with her adorable elf design where people could write sweet things to their co-workers. It was because of her talent here, that I asked her to decorate a window again to boost morale in the office and have a little contest. Employees were asked to bring in baby photos of themselves, so people could decide which baby was which. It was an adorable project.

So, I have to say, my little girl (my dispatchers are my work kids - and the ones that I was their training coordinator have special places in my heart - which Emily is one) has made my life a little more sunny just by bringing that firecracker of a blonde with the big smile in one day to try and get a job!! I <3 you little missy!!

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 - Purpura?? What is that??

 Defnition: Purpura - noun - the appearance of purple or red spots on the skin and mucous membranes caused by bleeding underneath the skin due to small blood vessels bursting.  These spots can range in size from small dots (petechiae) to larger patches (ecchymosis or bruises) and may indicate underlying health issues.   Sadly, when people see my arms, I get many responses and questions.   From how are you doing?  How are you feeling?  OR what is up with your arms???  My BFF literally said, what the hell is wrong with your arms?? Like I had been out in the parking lot bruising myself up intentionally.  And we had just talked about it a couple of weeks before when she saw it. Are they pretty??  No.  But, they truly are the way I know the status of my health.  Between seeing this stuff show up on my arms and my overall general state of strength lets me know if I should be concerned.   Right now, my arms are actually look...

CoCo's Journey - Sleeping with Jeff AND Camilla

  Well, the day has come and gone.  I got my new and fancy attachment coming out of my face.  It was a horrible experience.  I thought I was going to go absolutely insane and take out the people putting it in me.  But, let's talk about it real quick. I got an NJ tube.  I thought I was going to be getting an NG tube.  What is an NJ tube?  It's a tube for feeding that is placed through the nose and snaked down past the stomach and into the jejunal.  The jejunal is in the small intestine.  The nasojejunal tube is more complex and has a few more risks than the nasogastric tube.  But, apparently, it's the best choice for me.   So let's talk about the actual procedure.  I knew from the beginning, when they squirted lidocaine in my two nostrils to kind of deaden it that it was going to be COMPLETELY horrible!!!  And then needed me to sniff it down to kind of deaden my throat, to make the tube a little more comfortable g...
