Things That Make You Go HMMMMM - #11

I spent the last couple of days in Wendover getting some rest and relaxation with my BFF.  Now, how that is relaxing, I surely don't know - because we got there Sunday around 1:30 in the afternoon.  We didn't even take our luggage to our room until about 10:00 that night and then we were playing until 2:00 in the morning. Sunday was a really goooood winning day.  Monday - not so good.  I can say I brought home a few dollars to live on until payday. For those of you who may read this post and don't know what Wendover is; it's a very small community that is split between Utah and Nevada - about a ninety minute drive from our homes in the Salt Lake Valley.  There is an accumulation of casinos on the Nevada side and it's a little haven that Utahns go to to freely give up their money to the one-armed bandits, blackjack/poker dealers and roulette wheel/crap table operators.  However, this is not why I go HMMMMM.

I was driving Ms. Elaine home and we were on I-215.  At about 4500 South, we see an SUV parked along side the freeway.  There was a woman there with the vehicle.  She was wearing a black bra type top and a black and white skirt.  Her hair appeared to be up in a bun.  Now, I'm not really sure on the attire, as we were driving at 75 MPH down the freeway.  What caught our eye was the fact that she was standing on the spare tire attached to the back of the vehicle - so about five feet up in the air to where she had to climb.  That is right - on top of the spare tire, looking over toward the buildings there.  Her skirt was hiked down around her knees - Elaine noticed that more than I did.  And then she had her bra type top on - which I am assuming at this point was just her bra.  She was atop the tire in a squatting type position, which could best be described as a defecation type position - butt out.

In hindsight, I am hoping someone called the authorities to check on these strange happenstances, however, I think Elaine and I (as police trained observers), kind of looked at each other and said, "what the hell was she doing?" and continued on our 75 MPH drive.

HMMMMMMMM

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 - Answers!! Finally!!!

 Today I finally got answers!!!  I do not have Cirrhosis!!!  I am Pre-Cirrhotic.  Very close to that precipice but still not falling over the edge and falling into a place that I cannot get out of.  I had seen my gastric bypass doctor a while ago - and was given the wrong information.  I think he was looking at the headline and had not read the story.  It's something I'm good at, too.   My doctor explained that when I was overweight, the fat in my body was damaging my liver.  Then I had gastric bypass and that should have helped my fatty liver.  But, then I wasn't able to absorb the calories, so I became malnourished. My liver was not getting the proteins I needed in order to supply my body with the proper nourishment.  Every organ you have needs protein, and it starts in the liver.  So - the malnourishment started to affect my liver.  Leading to the state I'm in now. The thing I need to work on is getting off the diu...
