Things That Make You Go HMMMMM - - #15

I love Facebook.  It's quite the insight to a lot of things.  It brings people together.  It let's you know who the whack jobs are.  It brings you back to people you haven't seen nor heard from in a very long time - I connected with the girl who used to live next door to me - we grew up together until we were about 11 years old and then when she moved away, we really never saw each other much after that.  I've got cousins as friends, my sisters, my sister in law, friends,Teds brothers and sisters, work friends, sweepstakes friends, school friends, nieces, nephews, grand nieces, grand nephews, a grandson and of course my kids and their spouses!!  Let me just add here the friends I have made from gaining a son-in-law and a daughter-in-law, by becoming lifelong friends with their parents.
Right now, it makes me a bit insane - because the political crap that is posted CONSTANTLY just gets on my nerves.  I don't even care what side it's coming from, its all BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH anymore.  I know who I am voting for, it's my right, it's my responsibility and I take it seriously.   I don't really want to hear why or why not you like my candidate, why you don't like my candidate.  I can make that decision for myself.  But that is neither here nor there - the wonderful thing about this amazing country is it's my right to go BLAH BLAH BLAH at your posting constant messages for and against a candidate - but, it's also your right to post them.

Facebook stalking is quite a past time.  There is this little feed to the right side of my Facebook page that says, so and so liked so and so's status, so and so liked such and such's picture, such and such commented on so and so's status - and the beat goes on.  When you see them click, click, clicking down that feed, you kind of hover over what it is and you get a little insight to their soul; what do they like, what do they have to say about this, that and the other, who they really are.  However, there are those times that you see stuff that you don't really want to know about - those things that make your eyes go wide and you kind of want to know how to reverse your brain.  


HMMMMMMM - - think I'll mind my own business and go back to my slot machine, Words With Friends and Bingo.

P.S.  By the way - this is my 200th post on this blog.  Hope you enjoy it as much as I do!!  :)

    So, us parents of sons-and-daughters-in-law are not that important to mention. (opps maybe that is a good thing to be under the radar B^)

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...
