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 - Answers!! Finally!!!

 Today I finally got answers!!!  I do not have Cirrhosis!!!  I am Pre-Cirrhotic.  Very close to that precipice but still not falling over the edge and falling into a place that I cannot get out of.  I had seen my gastric bypass doctor a while ago - and was given the wrong information.  I think he was looking at the headline and had not read the story.  It's something I'm good at, too.   My doctor explained that when I was overweight, the fat in my body was damaging my liver.  Then I had gastric bypass and that should have helped my fatty liver.  But, then I wasn't able to absorb the calories, so I became malnourished. My liver was not getting the proteins I needed in order to supply my body with the proper nourishment.  Every organ you have needs protein, and it starts in the liver.  So - the malnourishment started to affect my liver.  Leading to the state I'm in now. The thing I need to work on is getting off the diu...

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...

Day 9 - If You Could Have Any Job in the World, What Would it Be?

I was thinking and thinking and thinking about this.  I have had a very long career at a job I love.  I don't always love it, but, for the most part - it's been an awesome job and career.  I always tell people that I want to work at an airline, because I want to have the benefit of flying wherever and whenever I wanted - so if I had thought about it years ago - instead of law enforcement, I probably should have found a job in the travel industry - - but, that didn't work.  And, I fully intend one day to have those flight benefits. But, I am thinking of what I would have loved my career to be.  If I could have chosen the path of my life, I would have chosen to be a stay-at-home mom.  I can't think of a more fulfilling career than to have been more available to my kids and been there more for them.  My kids were raised by a mom who worked away from the home and spent a lot of time away from home.  I worked shift work, so there were days they never...
