Day 24 - Your Favorite Movie and What is it About

UGH!!!  I don't have any idea how to answer this question..... blah!!!

I have a few movies that I really like - a lot of old ones:


  • Giant - starring Rock Hudson, Elizabeth Taylor and James Dean - about a cattle baron who marries a beautiful debutante and takes her home to Texas.  His sister leaves a small parcel to a ranch hand who ends up striking oil on the property and becomes extremely wealthy.  It follows them until they are grandparents.
  • Gone With the Wind - starring Clark Gable and Vivien Leigh.  Most people know what it's about, the south in the Civil War.
  • Guess Who's Coming to Dinner - starring Spencer Tracy, Katherine Hepburn and Sidney Poitier; their daughter brings home the man she wants to marry; though extremely open minded for the early 60's, the parents express their concern about their very white daughter marrying the very black Sidney.  Very ahead of it's time and awesome message about acceptance.
  • Wizard of Oz - Judy Garland - y'all know.
  • It's a Wonderful Life - Jimmy Stewart and Donna Reed - what would the world be like if you were never born.
  • Shanendoah - Jimmy Stewart - a man searches for his son after he is taken as a prisoner of war during the Civil War when the man refused to allow himself or his sons to fight in the war.
  • True Grit - John Wayne, Kim Darby, Glenn Campbell - a young girl partners with a crotchety old marshal to find the man who murdered her father.
  • McLintock - John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara - awesome old western and very comedic.
  • Cat Ballou - Jane Fonda plays a school marm who becomes a criminal when she tries to find the men who killed her father.
  • Seven Brides for Seven Brothers - Howard Keel is the sexy oldest brother; and they all want women of their own
There are some newer movies (okay, not too new), too, that I can't help but watch whenever I see they are on:
  • Ferris Bueller's Day Off - Matthew Broderick - sluffing school and doing cool stuff
  • Vacation and Vegas Vacation - Chevy Chase as Clark Griswold
  • Ten Things I Hate About You - Heath Ledger - loved this movie!!
  • Sixteen Candles - Molly Ringwald - the geek wins the cool dude
  • and along that same line - She's All That - Freddie Prinze Jr.
  • Ever After - Drew Barrymore is Cinderella
  • Grease - John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John in the most fun movie - I saw it about 15 times in the theatres
On the other hand - I have to mention a couple of movies that make my heart very happy and they are ALL DISNEY!!!
  • Beauty and the Beast
  • Cinderella
  • Lady and the Tramp
  • and I think I really need to add Tangled to the list - it makes me very happy and I love watching it with the cutest princess ever!!

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...
