Day 2 - Where You'd Like to be in Ten Years

HOLY CRAP - people who made this challenge, do you know I am pretty much elderly?? I will be lucky to be unburied (also known as - NOT DEAD)!!! Just kidding - my number one thing of my list of where I'd like to be is definitely alive, well, healthy, happy and mobile. And,, along with that, I obviously want my family - my husband, my kids, my grandkids and all the rest - to be alive, well, healthy, happy and mobile, also!!

I want to be out of debt or at least pretty dang close to being so.
I want to be retired from my current job - I know that means I would have to be working somewhere else until social security age, but - I feel ten more years would be WAAAY too much.
I would want that job that I am working at to be in the travel industry - preferably in the airline business.
That way - I could visit many more places, far and near - - I would love to have those flight benefits again where I could go places, see people and do many more things!!!
I want to be an active grandma - and the apple of my grandkids eyes!! I want them to think I am the coolest grandma ever - - even though they will be 21, 17, 14, 13 and 13!!! I want to be the person they wanna hang out with!!
I want to see what they are growing into - the very best thing in my life has been watching my kids turn into the adults they are. And they are amazing - I want to see what my grandkids are in ten years. I expect all of them to be amazing, too!!! Though they will still be children, it will be amazing to know what they are like in that ten years.
Lastly, but not leastly, I want to be THINNER and in much better SHAPE!!
AND - if possible - and if there is any way in the world - I would love the be a LOTTERY WINNER!! HAHAHAHAHA!!! It doesn't have to be like the $300 million kind - I would be happy with the little $10 million one.

I know, it's a pretty benign list and pretty boring - but, it's who I am and what I want to see happen in my life.

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...
