Resolutions


I'm following my muffie Trynitee's example and putting my resolutions down in order to make myself a little more accountable.





#1 - I need to resolve to appreciate Ted more. He is so very good to me and sometimes I don't appreciate it as much as I should. I love him so very much. And when his geekiness gets out of control or when he comes home with twenty of one item from the damaged freight store and we probably don't even need one - I need to calm myself and just let it roll. He's just being Ted - the guy I love.

#2 - I need to keep working on the weight. I had lost 27 pounds prior to the holiday. I've gained about four back since going off my diet. I am going back on the diet here in a couple of weeks and need to work harder on maintaining. The excuse that it's "rough during the holidays" can't cut it anymore. It's gotta become a way of life.

#3 - I need to be more organized and get some more projects done. I need to start deciding what I want to accomplish in this house and get them done. There are more rooms to paint!!!




#4 - And finally - I vow to spend more time with my kids and my grandbabies this year. With my kids I need to just be with them more and with my grandbabies I need to take them on more dates - I need to let them come hang out at Coco's more. They are the very center of my heart and I want to spend more time with them!!

    When your done painting, I have a bathroom that needs to be done as well. :)
    Your lucky your daughters will let you take the grandkids on playdates. I would love just to take mine out shopping or to lunch with just the 2 of us.

CoCo's Journey - Mortality Reality

This week has been one for the books.  There has been some good things, not so good things and more.  I will explain. Last Saturday, my daughter and I drove to Idaho Falls.  We went to visit my bonus daughter and her family.  I wasn't feeling great.  But I wasn't feeling horrible.  By the time I got home, I had a lot of swelling.  I have been dealing with that for a few months.  I had started to see a specialist about my liver and my pancreas.  I had recently started a medication, it is a very pricey medication, but it's supposed to help me break down calories and nutrients so that my body absorbs them.  Even though I eat, my body was just shedding the nutrients and food I was eating and making it so I was not gaining weight.  I was 95 pounds.  And nothing I did would gain weight.  But I've gained 20 pounds over the last few months.  My clothes were uncomfortable.  But, I don't know if it's just the water retenti...

CoCo's Journey - TPN Me!!

 I just decided to do another post after spending my first night in my own bed with my new sexy bed partner.  TPN. TPN - Total Parenteral Nutrition.  Calories, vitamins, minerals and all that delivered through an intravenous line. PICC line -  A little stronger and more durable than a regular IV line.  It's inserted, via ultrasound, into a vein.  Mine is in my upper right arm.   IV Pump - an electrical system that pumps the IV fluid from my bag into my veins.   In essence, I have an IV bag, when first attached to my PICC line, it probably weighs 15 to 20 pounds.  It is kept in a backpack, so I can be mobile.  I have the pump plugged in, to keep it charged, when I'm not mobile and trying to get my home back in order after being gone for five days in the hospital. Me and my sexy new bed partner.  I know, I'm gorgeous.  Skinnier than a prepubescent 12-year-old boy and a mess.  Don't judge.  I'm working on it!! ...

CoCo's Journey - How Did I Get Here??

Malabsorption - definition - Malabsorption is a state arising from abnormality of food nutrients across the gastrointestinal tract.  Impairment can be single or multiple nutrients depending on the abnormality.  This may lead to malnutrition and a variety of anaemias (blood disorders). I have heard the term before.  But the first time I had heard it in response to me was a little over a week ago.  I was with my roommate daughter at her appointment and her doctor pointed to IVY and said, what's up with that??  So I told him.  And he said, people have no idea how hard it is when you have malabsorption.  People think you can just eat to make it better, but you can't. So let's go to the beginning.... If you have known me at all in the last few decades, you know that I was "morbidly obese".  I topped out at 245 pounds.  I had Type 2 Diabetes, high blood pressure, thyroid disease and stomach issues (gerd) for the last couple of decades and had taken...
