Halloween... 2011

Here is a list of lessons I have learned this Halloween:
Angry Bird and Red Devil


1 - Wearing a wig with your costume is not easy. Hence the Amy Winehouse fail. It was very top heavy and difficult to wear - hence the inability to wear it the next week for your costume to the next party.

2 - You shouldn't buy a cute and sexy pitchfork to go with your next costume, cute little red devil, if you are going to forget to take it - hence incomplete costume.

2 - Wearing horns with your little red devil outfit is also difficult, because they want to slip - hence the can and a half of hairspray necessary to keep the curls and the horns in.

3 - A can and a half of hairspray can be flammable - hence the singe to the tips of the hair when it got to close to the heat. At least it wasn't as bad as Amberly wanted me to believe.

Aedynn the Zombie!!

4 - Sambuka is made of the devil - hence the necessity to go home early.

Lydia the Batgirl

5 - It's always best to let Ted hand out the Halloween treats - hence laughing your behind off when some kid wants to "sling shot" the Angry Bird.

Gabriel the Skeleton

All in all, Halloween was an awesome time. We went trick or treating at my work, Ted and I went to a couple of parties. I dressed up for the first time in a long time - usually my idea of dressing up is just my Halloween shirts. My little princess turned four. And the day after, I went to her birthday party at a jump place and got to be bounced around on a huge pillow - what more could a girl ask for?? It was tons of fun!!!

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...
