B - I - N - G - O !!!!!

Bingo Cards
OK - I must be getting old.  I can't even say that I really have a great time - but, I have joined the ranks of the BINGO crowd.

My cute new bag and glitter daubers
I have always liked playing Bingo.  I play it every year when the PMAA (a police association) has their annual game.  I play it when I go on cruises.  So on and so on.

The cush for my tush
When I was at the annual H.O.A. meeting, the president of the board was telling me about going to play Bingo at the Catholic Church.  Ted was there and I was telling him and he said - let's go.  So, Friday came around and I was kind of resistant - but, we ended up going.  We have hardly missed a Friday since.  In fact, last Friday I think Ted would have rather have had the Mother's Day dinner on our anniversary than having it on Friday - so he didn't have to miss Bingo.  I think he is more addicted than me.

The crowd - watch out for the "blue hairs"
they are MEAN!!
That first time, I got my cards and bought Ted and I a "dauber" to mark our numbers.  Since that day, I now have six daubers (two of them are a beautiful glittery color), a bag to put my pens and daubers and Ted found me a nice little cushion to set my behind on for those few hours on the metal chairs.  We've all had a chance to win, Ted's prize was the biggest.

KayeLynn was over one Friday and joined us - guess who is addicted now, too.  We are hoping to meet some friends with some cute geeky sons - one that is perfect for her.  I keep teasing her that we are going to find her a nice, handsome, geeky Catholic boy of her very own.         :-)

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...
