Done at Disney - A Wrap-Up



So, I got home around 11:30 this morning. I have to say, I can barely keep my eyes open. I thought I would share some final thoughts about our trip.

The Awesome:

1 - spending time with my sisters and my mama.
2 - the fact that we spent four nights, three days in one hotel room with one bathroom and didn't kill each other.
3 - going with Wendy and Cheryl for their firt time on: Soaring Over California, Hollywood Tower of Terror and California Screaming.
4 - getting a cute flower painted on my face (I have never had my face painted before!!)
5 - making the guy on the bus blush by offering to let him sit on my lap.
6 - Monkey Business!! The only thing at the Rain Forest Cafe that tasted good.
7 - watching Wendy snuggle that cutest little girl on the bus.
8 - getting a "Happily Ever After" button because Wendy was a crybaby!
9 - giving my button to a little girl in a Tangled princess dress - she kept coming over and talking to me at breakfast and showing me her cute dress.
10 - wheelchair access in Disneyland!! NUFF SAID!!

The Odd:

1 - the fact that six women could share a room and still manage to all get showered, blow dryed, made up, dressed and out the door within ninety minutes each day (may have even been quicker).
2 - having a guy on the bus say "I remember you ladies" the last day - we must have been a little rowdy the day before?
3 - bonding with my sisters and mother over a discussion about poop and farts
4 - the fact that a little old lady, probably a hundred pounds soaking wet, thinks she needs the entire bed space. She convinces herself that she is sleeping on the edge, what she doesn't realize is that when your head is in the upper left hand corner and your feet are in the lower right hand corner, you are taking up the whole bed!!!

The Bad:

1 - not sleeping for four nights straight - OK, I slept, just not good.
2 - being on the ground floor of the hotel with the second floor walkway right above your room - the closer it got to the weekend, the harder it got to sleep.
3 - no water pressure; in the hotel and Disneyland
5 - Monkey Business - $11.99, at that price, you can only have one!!
6 - having the swimming pool and hot tub closed for refurbishing!!
7 - there ain't anything much worse than burping Rain Forest Cafe lettuce wraps for hours and hours!!

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 - 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...

CoCo's Journey - Up Your Nose with a Rubber Hose

Sun wasn't even up when I headed to the hospital Today, I had my first albumin infusion.  I have it at the Cancer Center.  It lasts about four hours.  They get an IV started and slowly infuse the albumin.  Today, I learned a lot: Don't take your own snacks.  They have great snacks and beverages.  And you don't have to haul all that stuff. Four hours, sitting in a little curtained room, is really not bad.  I snoozed, I snacked, I watched TV, I played on my phone. Make sure you take your power pack. If they ask you if you want a heated blanket, the answer is always YES.  I had three by the time I left.  I told the adorable CNA fella that I planned to just look like a pile of blankets by the time I was ready to leave. In October, we wear Halloween fare The side effects are headaches and achy muscles.  I'm the lucky one that gets both.  I'm doing ok tonight.  I don't get headaches, I'm used to achy muscles.  I limit my intake ...
