Adios, Au Revoir, Goodbye....

So, tonight is my last night on the graveyard shift. It's been fun the days I've worked. I have to say, I really enjoy these up-all-nighters immensely. They are on the complete opposite spectrum of the "normal" people. Here are some final notes on my time here:

Marla, Corey, Cheryl, Betsy, Nicole, Doug, Cortney, Angie, Natalie, Nathan, Amber, Jessica, Cliff, Leslie: STOP BEING SO DANG QUIET!!! I am not used to hearing NOTHING!!! I am used to people calling me constantly, I am used to having things to do, I am used to not sitting around and doing nothing!!! I have done nothing for an entire month - and my BUTT HURTS!!! My butt hurts from sitting in this chair and staring at the computer for TWELVE HOURS CONSTANTLY!!

However, on the up side - I have completely loved being with you this month!! Watching Nicole's face in lineup when Diane is there is priceless. Nathan's litte quips and comments are hilarious. Cortney and his "touche" comments make me giggle, especially since the "touche" is always at Doug and his nonstop sarcasm! Amber and Jessica and their continual giggling and chatter are about the only sounds I have heard; I have absolutely loved listening to the two of you. Cliff and his DUN DUN DUN last night were fun and his wit is superb. Natalie, Cheryl, Angie, Marla, Leslie and Betsy - the seasoned veterans - it's nice to have a voice of reason at times; you have all been so sweet to me and I thank you so much for putting up with me and talking to me when I needed conversation. Corey, our talks have been kind of fun, I hope you get what you want in life.

I really have enjoyed my time on graveyards, especially my nights with Diane who has kepts me laughing and awake!! My visits from Amberly have been very much appreciated, too!!

    While reading through this blog post, my comment was originally going to be, "WHAT?! No mention of Moi?!?!?!?!" And then I read the last (aka most important) sentence and all was well in the world again. So, without further adieu (look at me with all the French words today!), here are my official comments:

    1. I think it's lame you're leaving Graves.
    2. I think you're lame for leaving Graves too.
    3. If I'd known you hated quiet, I would've made lots and lots and lots of noise.
    4. If I'd known how much you loved me, I totally would've visited more.
    5. Until I read this blog post, I did not know that the half-assed bubble blowing was your going away celebration.
    6. If I had known, I would've appreciated them more.
    7. I think it's lame you're leaving Graves.
    8. I plan on hunting down your cell # so I can text you in the middle of the night, just cuz.
    9. You didn't experience me in the same way Tryn and Elaine got to on Graves and that is sad for you.
    10. When are you coming back?

    Emily, my love, my dear, my sweet - - -

    Afternoon shift is my very favorite shift to work. However, I don't have a choice of afternoon shift, I have the choice of day or night. Luckily, I get to work with you, on afternoon shift, no matter if I'm days or nights!! So, you are the icing on the cake!!

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...
