Well, I can't let it all be just about the kids........

I have told stories about my kids - and their not so gracious, best moments. So, I will tell a couple of stories about myself. Some of you probably already know these stories - so sorry!! When I taught POST classes, I always started the week and had them do an introduction and in that there had to be a "most embarrassing moment". I am an equal opportunity story teller and to make them feel better, I always tell them my favorite most embarrassing moments. Now, I've told you how I fall down and some things like that - but, here are my most embarrassing moments that I like to tell:

#1 - A long, long time ago, back in my old house I was sitting there when my daughter, Crystal came in the house. She was laughing, hysterically might I add and couldn't talk. Now, let me background this by saying, I am one of those people who wear their jeans more than one time. The second time you wear your jeans is when they fit just perfectly - the point when they are stretched and are just right. So, back to Crystal laughing to the point that she has to crawl up the stairs. She comes in and asks - "why are your underwear out on the front sidewalk?" Well, ya see, sometimes that first time you take your jeans off, sometimes you just take everything off - including your panties, underwear, underthings, undergarments, or your fat parachute granny panties (that's me). And then just sometimes, when you put those jeans back on, you forget about those fat parachute granny panties that have now wadded up and are in the leg of your jeans. And then just sometimes, those panties, through your daily movements and joustling, end up making their way down - until they reach the front sidewalk. And then, your beautiful daughter sees them and laughs hysterically at you because your fat parachute granny panties have ended up on the front sidewalk.

#2 - When Rodger went off to school in Wyoming, I was pretty distraught. I don't know why it affected me like it did, but, I cried on and off for couple of days prior to hauling his butt off to Rock Springs for college. Well, the day before going, I was making a huge barbecue meal for the family and some of his friends. I had to go to the store to pick up some things, so I headed off to the neighborhood Walmart. KayeLynn was with me and we went through the store and picked up what I needed. We are standing in line and I decide I can't wait anymore and I have to go to the bathroom!! So, I give instructions to KayeLynn and I head in and do my business!! Whew!! When you get old like me, you have to go when there is an opportunity. So, when I exit the stall, I have a sudden realization - there are urinals in the bathroom. AHHH - CRAP!!! I am in the MEN'S room!!! So, I don't even stop to wash my hands, I hurry and rush out. Luckily there aren't any men in there!! Only, to run head long into a man that is entering - OOPS!! Don't know what he was thinking as he came in and saw me coming out - guess I never will!!

So, there is my moment in the sun - and a couple of my moments. I know there are even more embarrassing moments, but they are probably not suited for this - and I really doubt I want you to know about them!!

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 - Answers!! Finally!!!

 Today I finally got answers!!!  I do not have Cirrhosis!!!  I am Pre-Cirrhotic.  Very close to that precipice but still not falling over the edge and falling into a place that I cannot get out of.  I had seen my gastric bypass doctor a while ago - and was given the wrong information.  I think he was looking at the headline and had not read the story.  It's something I'm good at, too.   My doctor explained that when I was overweight, the fat in my body was damaging my liver.  Then I had gastric bypass and that should have helped my fatty liver.  But, then I wasn't able to absorb the calories, so I became malnourished. My liver was not getting the proteins I needed in order to supply my body with the proper nourishment.  Every organ you have needs protein, and it starts in the liver.  So - the malnourishment started to affect my liver.  Leading to the state I'm in now. The thing I need to work on is getting off the diu...
