WORK!!!



I love my job. Usually. For some reason today, I felt like I was sleeping on the edge of a precipice and rolling the wrong way. Today was my short day - I love my short day, but I went in four hours early to work overtime. I was kind of tired this morning - because my body knows that on day four I get to sleep in. My 6:00 lineup started it off (it's what I call my menopause group - cuz they are all the ladies with huge seniority so they get the good days off). It just seemed like they were doing everything they could to push every button I had. I lost control of that lineup withing a minute and a half. I have a standing rule, no discussion of politics or religion in lineup - my opinion is that they are both inflammatory subjects that can get people's defenses up. One of my menopausers couldn't get "change the subject" through her head when she started talking about a political issue. It went like this all day.

There are times I feel so ineffective. The days I have no control are the days that just set me on edge desperately. Am I so much of a pushover that people feel they can just walk all over me? Do I deserve such disrespect that when I tell you to stop you feel that you just can ignore me - GEEZ - I'M YOUR FREAKING SUPERVISOR FOR HELL SAKE, THAT DESERVES A LITTLE BIT OF SOMETHING!!!

Today was just a bad day all together. I am now off for a few days, so, hopefully I'll be better when I go back. It's either that - or a couple of people are going to get me to that point that not many people see and once they do, they never wanna see it again - only a few people have seen me THAT MAD!!!

I'm done with my vent - tomorrow will be a better day. It's my grandson's fifth birthday. It will definitely be a better day.

    Hmm....no religion, no politics in line ups? I like it that rule of thumb. Hope you don't mind if I steal it from you. I agree, they're both inflammatory subjects and even when two people are of the same political party or same religion, there are still sensitive issues.

    P.S. This is Amberly (my name's shortened on my screen name)...hope you don't mind that I came across your blog, I love finding new/interesting blogs to read!

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...
