CANCUN - Day Four!!!

I realize at this moment just how freaking old I am.  I hurt from head to toe.  My back hurts, my thighs hurt, my shoulders hurt, my feet hurt, my knees hurt.  AND I am extremely sunburnt and have mosquito bites from ankle to thigh.  Would I change it for anything, NOT ON YOUR LIFE!!!  We have had an awesome trip. 

Today, we slept in - after having to get up early for the last two days to go on adventures, we kept our last full day to just veg and chill.  We didn't sleep in too late, but, we got to breakfast around 9:00.  I do have to say, I am a little tired of buffet breakfast and I am thinking that room service is in order tomorrow. 

By 10:30 we were hanging out at the pool.  It was pretty breezy today and dark and cloudy.  It would blow and breeze, then it would clear up.  It would get sunny for a while then the clouds would come up.  We ate pizza and burgers for lunch at the grill and ordered drinks and shrimp cocktails by the pool.  I did water aerobics with a handsome Mexican man, his name was prounounced JAY-SHWAH.  It started out a little water aerobics and in fact, with the achy muscles I had, he was working our arms a bit too much - then it got wierd and we were all holding hands and going around in circles and holding up each other while we went around in circles again - then we all massaged each other.  Kind of a strange workout - but, I could at least say I tried to get some exercise yesterday.
We also played bingo at the pool side.

Ted and I went and played in the sea for about an hour and a half - just playing in the waves and of course I giggled and giggled.  We finished our jaunt  by going back to the pool and getting a drink at the swim up bar.  It was an awesome way to spend our day.  All we did was relax and I am literally exhausted - and I hurt from all the activity this week. 

We are finishing our day by going to a dinner put on by Corona for the winners - tomorrow we have to be packed and ready to go by 1:00.  It will be a long day - but, this trip has been nothing but fun from beginning to end and I really am grateful for the time I had here - grateful for winning this prize, grateful for the most wonderful hubby and traveling companion.  I hope my two kids are having even half the fun I did - because that would mean they are having a ball!!

CoCo's Journey - Ah, Shit!!!

I am exhausted.  Physically.  Mentally.  Is there anything else??  Because I'm sure that is exhausted, too. I went to the doctor today.  I knew it was going to be a lot of information.  I had made a list.  I had my notebook.  I printed out all of the information from my emergency room visit on Saturday to take with me.  Blood tests.  CT Scan.  Urine test.  Plus, I brought my CT scan from March, because I noticed on it that I have a small umbilical hernia.  I was ready.  And I knew what I needed to fight for. I also came armed with gifts.  I love this doctor and his medical assistant so much.  I took them a gift of tortilla chips and homemade salsa.  And I wrote a love note on the bag.  That is how much I appreciate him.  They both loved it.  It even made Hayley get a little weepy, cuz she was having a bad day. I gave him all of my documents, and he went through the blood tests and such fr...

CoCo's Journey - Purpura?? What is that??

 Defnition: Purpura - noun - the appearance of purple or red spots on the skin and mucous membranes caused by bleeding underneath the skin due to small blood vessels bursting.  These spots can range in size from small dots (petechiae) to larger patches (ecchymosis or bruises) and may indicate underlying health issues.   Sadly, when people see my arms, I get many responses and questions.   From how are you doing?  How are you feeling?  OR what is up with your arms???  My BFF literally said, what the hell is wrong with your arms?? Like I had been out in the parking lot bruising myself up intentionally.  And we had just talked about it a couple of weeks before when she saw it. Are they pretty??  No.  But, they truly are the way I know the status of my health.  Between seeing this stuff show up on my arms and my overall general state of strength lets me know if I should be concerned.   Right now, my arms are actually look...

CoCo's Journey - Sleeping with Jeff AND Camilla

  Well, the day has come and gone.  I got my new and fancy attachment coming out of my face.  It was a horrible experience.  I thought I was going to go absolutely insane and take out the people putting it in me.  But, let's talk about it real quick. I got an NJ tube.  I thought I was going to be getting an NG tube.  What is an NJ tube?  It's a tube for feeding that is placed through the nose and snaked down past the stomach and into the jejunal.  The jejunal is in the small intestine.  The nasojejunal tube is more complex and has a few more risks than the nasogastric tube.  But, apparently, it's the best choice for me.   So let's talk about the actual procedure.  I knew from the beginning, when they squirted lidocaine in my two nostrils to kind of deaden it that it was going to be COMPLETELY horrible!!!  And then needed me to sniff it down to kind of deaden my throat, to make the tube a little more comfortable g...
