Inappropriate Memory Lane and Monkeys

When I got home tonight, something brought back a memory.  So obviously, I must relay it to everyone - because that is what I do.

When Ted and I decided that we were going to get married, he and I decided that we needed to sell the houses we were in and get a home together.  We felt that if we were living in my house it would be my house and if I was living in his house it would be his house - but, if we got a home together, it would be our house.

We put Ted's house on the market first - and we had to get it sale ready, so we started purging and boxing him up so that we could get the house on the market.  One of those days, my daughter KayeLynn came to help do some boxing and cleaning.  She was down on the floor, on her hands and knees, boxing something up.  Ted walked through the room and into another room.  As he did so, KayeLynn started up with this horrified look on her face.  She says, "Mom, he just grabbed my butt".  I wasn't sure what to say or think.  When Ted walked in the room, I looked at him and asked if he grabbed her butt.  Ted then gets a horrified look on his face and says, "Oh my god, I thought she was you!!!"  Yes, Ted grabs my butt.  Ten years later, he still does.

The reason I bring this up, the show Modern Family was playing on the television.  The character played by Ty Burrell happens to grab a girls butt and when she turns around, he is aghast and explains that he thought the girl was his wife.  I started to laugh hysterically, because this memory flooded back.

Since I'm on the subject, when we packed up Ted's stuff, this was one of the boxes.  When I turned the corner, I honestly thought we had packed a monkey in the box.  I have no clue how his little face ended up so perfectly in the window of the box.

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...
