Day 29 - List Ten People, Alive or Dead, You Would Invite to Dinner - Include the Dinner Menu

I literally avoided this entry yesterday because I am befuddled by it.  This one is a tricky, tricky one. I want a fun and interesting table - so there would be hilarity and interesting people to keep me entertained. So, here, let's try:


  1. Phil Keoghan - host of Amazing Race - he is so well traveled and so interesting.  I think he could bring some interesting stories to the table and he could raise that one eyebrow at Sheldon.
  2. Jim Parsons - the person who plays the character based on Ted - wanna see how the real compares with the character.
  3. Bill Engvall - he is hilarious!!!  I would have poster boards available for him.  "here's your sign"
  4. Red Skelton - just a funny guy from the past
  5. Lucille Ball - need a funny girl from the past, too - and I loved watching all of her television shows
  6. Henry Cho - I love him.  
  7. Rhianna - need someone to sing to me "Cheers to the Freakin' Weekend" - need an anthem
  8. Adele - need someone to sing a sad ballad to me - so when things get out of control, we can bring it down a notch
  9. VanGogh - because I want an abstract painting of the event
  10. Bill Gates - because I just want him to give me some cash when it's all done (I would accept Mark Zuckerburg, too - one billionaire is as good as another)

As for dinner - we are going buffet style and hanging out in the living room.  We will be eating sloppy joes, potato salad, veggie tray - - - for dessert - pie.

And just so you know - and I am sure you can already tell - I pulled most of this out of my a$$ - because I had absolutely no clue what else to do.  I am absolutely committed to finishing this challenge!!!!!!!!!!!!

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...
