Phone Call!!!

So I made a phone call today. I was calling the father of my future daughter-in-law to make arrangements for the wedding invitations. I was in my car and driving when I did this. Here is the jist of he conversation:

RING RING

Him: Hello.
Me: Hello, is this Russ?
Him: Yes.
Me: This is Colleen. James' mom.
Him: Who?
Me: James' mom.
Him: Who?
Me: James mom. Your daughters fiance.
Him: Dane?
Me: No, James. Your daughter, Rustie, her fiance's mom.
(at this point, I am looking at my daughter KayeLynn, thinking that I am talking to a man with Alzheimers. He doesn't even know his daughters fiance's name)
Him: Who? My daughter isn't engaged.
Me: Is this Russ?
Him: Yes.
Me: Russ Rolfe?
Him: No, Russ Nay.
Me: Oh My Gosh!!!! I called my brother!!!! Crap!!
We then talked for a minute, which involved me laughing hysterically for not realizing I had two men named Russ in my phone and could possibly be dialing the wrong number!! Good Lordy!!! It was pretty funny!! KayeLynn was pretty hysterical, too!!!

    Disturbing Fact #1: Your brother did not look at his Caller ID...not only did he not look at it BEFORE he answered, he didn't look at it DURING the call with [what he thought was] a crazy lady insisting his daughter was engaged.

    Disturbing Fact #2: He didn't recognize his own sister's voice.

    Disturbing Fact #3: He didn't recognize either of the names James or Rustie enough to realize who you were.

    Note to Colleen: Spend more time with your brother.

    I really want to know what Amberly had to say the first time!! There is a response to every one of your disturbing facts, but, that would make the whole thing even that more disturbing.

    Amberly had to say lots of typos the first time, but it was the same comment. I know, totally just killed the suspense.

    *Note to Self: Add, then delete comments on all Colleen's posts to appear "mysterious."

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...
