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 - 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...
