What are the structures appended to the end of the main clause below? They feel like participles, but they have pseudo-subjects. Is it correct to use the objective pronouns in these structures?

his Mountain Dew and me groping for a pen and paper.
I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!
Thanks,
John
