One of Those Weekends

It really has been one of those out of control weekends.  Not me being out and being out of control, but out of control eating and stupid stuff.

This whole weekend I have been out of control eating.  I will control myself for part of the day and the other part I'm going crazy.

Friday....... cookies at my mothers and other crap.  My mother always has crap at her house and when you're there, "do you want a cookie little girl?"  My mother weighs less than 100 pounds - she hasn't always, she just has been a lucky person who was able to lose the weight after gastric bypass and kept it off.  When she got sick she lost probably another thirty pounds that she could not afford to lose.  I could probably piggy back her and not feel a thing at this point.  She can eat cookies, she needs to eat cookies, I do not need to eat cookies and I will eat them if they are offered because I don't have the wherewithal to turn it down.

Saturday...... started out ok.  Pretty healthy breakfast, eggs with lean ham and whole wheat toast.  We got pizza for lunch at the yard sale, ate only one piece with a piece of crazy bread.  Dinner was a community barbecue.  I ate pretty good as far as the regular food, except I probably didn't need the chips, but then I ate a churro and a cookie.... and cupcakes.  Today, I've eaten ok - except the cupcakes........

Let me tell you about the cupcakes.  I usually make cupcakes for the barbecue every year.  This year, I was going to make them and for some reason I burnt the bottom of some of them.  So after going through them, I didn't feel that I had enough to try and get them to the barbecue.  So when I got home yesterday, I frosted them and figured everyone in the house would help eat them.  Raja and Rustie didn't eat any.  KayeLynn had one last night.  Ted had a couple of unfrosted cupcakes last night with strawberries.  The rest were here today.  I have been eating them and eating them.  I finally said ENOUGH!!!!!  I threw the rest of them away.  All I can think about now is how miserable I am from eating them.  I am sick.  I am nauseated.  I am angry with myself.  I frustrated.  Stupid cupcakes.  Stupid me.

Now, let me tell you about the churros.  Yesterday, one of the guys in our neighborhood offered to bring all of the buns for the hot dogs and hamburgers.  He is a baker at the Reams close to the house.  He also brought churros that he made, too.  Churros that they make at the Reams bakery.  These had to be the best churros I have ever tasted or eaten in my entire life.  They were huge around.  They were perfectly cooked and I probably can never look at another churro in my life and I can never go to Reams.  I will dream of those churros the rest of my life.

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 - Purpura?? What is that??

 Defnition: Purpura - noun - the appearance of purple or red spots on the skin and mucous membranes caused by bleeding underneath the skin due to small blood vessels bursting.  These spots can range in size from small dots (petechiae) to larger patches (ecchymosis or bruises) and may indicate underlying health issues.   Sadly, when people see my arms, I get many responses and questions.   From how are you doing?  How are you feeling?  OR what is up with your arms???  My BFF literally said, what the hell is wrong with your arms?? Like I had been out in the parking lot bruising myself up intentionally.  And we had just talked about it a couple of weeks before when she saw it. Are they pretty??  No.  But, they truly are the way I know the status of my health.  Between seeing this stuff show up on my arms and my overall general state of strength lets me know if I should be concerned.   Right now, my arms are actually look...

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...
