Things That Make You Go HMMMM - #18

Warning - the following entry has sexual content and may be offensive to some readers.

Beyond that - it's funnier than hell!!

I was getting my nails done this afternoon.  When I walked in, there was just one woman there getting her nails done.  I was directed to sit in the chair next to her.  Eventually, it got pretty busy and there were about five of us all together.

I am sitting there, the older of the little Asian ladies is doing my nails. By the way, they look pretty dang pretty.  Suddenly, she looks at me and asks, "what is 69?"  I wasn't sure I heard her correctly and just sat there for a second.  Again, "what is 69?  Is it American thing?".  I just shook my head and said, "I don't know".  I wasn't sure she meant what she said.  The woman sitting next to her, also Asian, says to the woman who was there when I came in and says, "she wants to know what 69 is".  The women there, who knows all these woman by name, has the same shocked look as I had.  They ask again, "what is 69?" "is it American thing?".

The woman next to me finally says, "it's a sexual reference".  The older woman, doing my nails, says "see, I told you, I win the bet".

I kept waiting for Ashton Kutcher to come along and tell me I was being punked.

HMMMMM

CoCo's Journey - Ah, Shit!!!

I am exhausted.  Physically.  Mentally.  Is there anything else??  Because I'm sure that is exhausted, too. I went to the doctor today.  I knew it was going to be a lot of information.  I had made a list.  I had my notebook.  I printed out all of the information from my emergency room visit on Saturday to take with me.  Blood tests.  CT Scan.  Urine test.  Plus, I brought my CT scan from March, because I noticed on it that I have a small umbilical hernia.  I was ready.  And I knew what I needed to fight for. I also came armed with gifts.  I love this doctor and his medical assistant so much.  I took them a gift of tortilla chips and homemade salsa.  And I wrote a love note on the bag.  That is how much I appreciate him.  They both loved it.  It even made Hayley get a little weepy, cuz she was having a bad day. I gave him all of my documents, and he went through the blood tests and such fr...

CoCo's Journey - Sleeping with Jeff AND Camilla

  Well, the day has come and gone.  I got my new and fancy attachment coming out of my face.  It was a horrible experience.  I thought I was going to go absolutely insane and take out the people putting it in me.  But, let's talk about it real quick. I got an NJ tube.  I thought I was going to be getting an NG tube.  What is an NJ tube?  It's a tube for feeding that is placed through the nose and snaked down past the stomach and into the jejunal.  The jejunal is in the small intestine.  The nasojejunal tube is more complex and has a few more risks than the nasogastric tube.  But, apparently, it's the best choice for me.   So let's talk about the actual procedure.  I knew from the beginning, when they squirted lidocaine in my two nostrils to kind of deaden it that it was going to be COMPLETELY horrible!!!  And then needed me to sniff it down to kind of deaden my throat, to make the tube a little more comfortable g...

CoCo's Journey - Up Your Nose with a Rubber Hose

Sun wasn't even up when I headed to the hospital Today, I had my first albumin infusion.  I have it at the Cancer Center.  It lasts about four hours.  They get an IV started and slowly infuse the albumin.  Today, I learned a lot: Don't take your own snacks.  They have great snacks and beverages.  And you don't have to haul all that stuff. Four hours, sitting in a little curtained room, is really not bad.  I snoozed, I snacked, I watched TV, I played on my phone. Make sure you take your power pack. If they ask you if you want a heated blanket, the answer is always YES.  I had three by the time I left.  I told the adorable CNA fella that I planned to just look like a pile of blankets by the time I was ready to leave. In October, we wear Halloween fare The side effects are headaches and achy muscles.  I'm the lucky one that gets both.  I'm doing ok tonight.  I don't get headaches, I'm used to achy muscles.  I limit my intake ...
