Day 11 -- Put Your IPOD on Shuffle and List the Ten Songs that Come Up First

I was really excited about this challenge.  A couple of weeks ago, when KayeLynn was home, she needed to find something from her "baby box".  When they were little, I got boxes to put in anything of memorial significance in.  Like their hospital bracelets from when they were born, report cards - - stuff like that.  Each of my kids have one and they are all still at my house.  Well, her box was under the stairs - and we had to dig it out.  Ted insisted the only stuff under the stairs was KayeLynn's stuff - but, low and behold, there was a bunch of other stuff.  Including all the Disney and other kids VHS movies, a bunch of Ted's movies and a whole lot of CD's.  So we went through the CD's and I took out what I wanted and ripped them to my IPOD.  It's kind of funny the different phases the CD's represented.  So - here goes my list of songs:


1 - A Boy Named Sue - - Johnny Cash  (went through a big Johnny Cash phase after Walk the Line with Reese Witherspoon and Joaquin Phoenix).

2 - Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me - - Elton John (I have always adored Elton - - I wanted to marry him when I was a tween - -still love his music)

3 - Let Me Be There - Olivia Newton John (another childhood adoration)

4 - Have a Little Faith in Me - Jewel from the Phenomenon soundtrack (love the song)

5 - Rhiannon - Fleetwood Mac (first 45 I ever bought!!  I am sorry if you are so young you have no clue what I am talking about)

6 - You Wouldn't Know Love - Cher (I didn't even know I owned this CD until I went through them.  Couldn't remember buying it)

7 - Cheers to the Freakin' Weekend - Rhianna (lovin' me some Rhianna - - don't let the basatads get ya down)

8 - Folsom Prison Blues - Joaquin Phoenix from the Walk the Line soundtrack

9 - Rock This Country - Shania Twain (went through a BIG country music phase.  This was actually Crystal's CD I think - - I just ended up with it in my box of CD's)

10 - Scarborough Fair - Simon and Garfunkel (from my growin' up years - my sister had their Greatest Hits album and I used to listen to it all the time  - so I bought the CD when I was an old lady).

  1. Those are some good ones. Although I'm not so sure about Olivia Newton John. I love Jhonny Cash Though.

    1. Olivia Newton John is from my tween years. She was HOT back then, beaucoup HOT!! And, I found Cher a bit odd, too. But she has some great tunes for when you're working out.

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...
