Happy Thanksgiving....

It's Thanksgiving today. I thought I would list some of what I am thankful for - - I am thankful for the usual stuff, my awesome husband, my wonderful kids and their spouses, my great stepdaughters, my sweetheart grandkids, my lovely mother, my outstanding siblings, my sweet BFF and the rest of my friends. But, here is a list of other things I am thankful for:

I am thankful for Diet Coke. It's my life's blood. It's what I drink and it runs through my veins. In second place is a BIG glass of iced tea!

I am thankful for reality television. Most of it is mindles and crazy, but, it's something I enjoy. I love to watch Amazing Race, Biggest Loser, So Ya Think Ya Can Dance, Project Runway. Those four are my favorites.

I am thankful for my couch. The reason I am thankful for my couch is listed above.

I am thankful for having a job, not just a job but a career I love. Though, I get frustrated at times, I truly love what I do. Not only that, I am so thankful to have a roof over my head, food in my belly, heat and lights, and an extremely comfortable life compared to what others have to face.

I am thankful for Facebook. It really can be a look into the souls of those "friends".

I am thankful for my car. I am really thankful for it this time of year and it's butt warming heated seats.

I am thankful for my hobby of sweepstakes. I've had an awesome year.

I am thankful for the A-line haircut. I think it's my favorite.

I am thankful for decent plumbing, aka toilets. Realized this today at a public bathroom. In Mexico, I had to pay 25 cents for about four squares of toilet paper, they had a guy sitting outside the restroom doling it out and accepting quarters, plus when you got in there, they have no seat. In Costa Rica, they tell you and post to not flush the toilet paper, so it really stinks because of all the soiled toilet paper in the garbage.

I am going to be thankful for HCG again come the New Year. These holidays are not doing my waist line any favors!! Got lots of pounds to lose. I am hoping my uniform pants become comfortable again!

I am especially thankful for this blog. For the reason, see previous post "Catharsis".

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...
