Things That Make You Go HMMMM - - - - #20

I've learned two things today.

Nobody is allergic to Benedryl. No one. Not a soul. You may have a reaction, but it won't be an allergic reaction. So, if you are having an allergic reaction, you will get Benedryl.
Don't buy bras online.

I have told you about my Zulily addiction. So, when I found these really sexy, really snazzy, really pretty bras on their site, I decided I had to buy a couple. Especially since they were for a killer price. Besides, they were being sold by a woman known for her fat lady clothes and making money on her own girth by styling for those women known as plus sizes - so she should know how sizes work, right?

These bras are gorgeous and they arrived today. So excited. The first one is this black/pink combination and is gorgeous. Very sexy and I really liked it. But, it was a tad bit tight. Maybe as my weight slowly falls off.

The second one, I could barely clasp. I finally get it on and my body into it. Oh my hell!!! It's so tight and crazy, my fat scrunches up and over the bra. I look like I am being cut in two. It is horrible. I know it's horrible when Ted looks at me and says, "it might be a little too small". So, I've taken it off, and I don't know when I'll ever get it back on again.

So - this message is to you, Ms. Delta Burke. If you are going to suggest that you are making clothing for my big fat butt, please don't pretend that your sizing is correct. I can go into any store in the world and find a 38C bra and it will fit. Some fit a little better than others. But, your bra ma'am, is in no way, shape or form, a 38C. Sorry Charlie!!

HMMMMMMM.

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...
