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).

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

      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 - 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...

CoCo's Journey - An update -- of sorts

 I was asked for an update.  So - I waited until my last appointment with my liver doctor to see what he was going to say.  What we were going to do.  What the hell is going on.   So - a little recap.  Mid August I was admitted to the hospital due to liver disease.  The initial diagnosis was cirrhosis of the liver due to malnutrition, which was caused by malabsorption. After a biopsy, that diagnosis was changed to pre-cirrhosis.  I had over two liters of fluid removed from my belly by needle aspiration the first day.  I left the hospital five days later with a PICC line with IV nutrition.  IV nutrition supplemented my regular diet for four months.  My PICC line was removed in December and now it's a matter of how my body adjusts as to what the steps are. Since August and having the IV nutrition, I gained over 40 pounds.  I was a little over 140 pounds when they disconnected IVY (my PICC line/nutrition/bag - that's her name...

Day 9 - If You Could Have Any Job in the World, What Would it Be?

I was thinking and thinking and thinking about this.  I have had a very long career at a job I love.  I don't always love it, but, for the most part - it's been an awesome job and career.  I always tell people that I want to work at an airline, because I want to have the benefit of flying wherever and whenever I wanted - so if I had thought about it years ago - instead of law enforcement, I probably should have found a job in the travel industry - - but, that didn't work.  And, I fully intend one day to have those flight benefits. But, I am thinking of what I would have loved my career to be.  If I could have chosen the path of my life, I would have chosen to be a stay-at-home mom.  I can't think of a more fulfilling career than to have been more available to my kids and been there more for them.  My kids were raised by a mom who worked away from the home and spent a lot of time away from home.  I worked shift work, so there were days they never...
