Dear Emily,

This post is dedicated to you - - and only you!! I am proud that you are one of my work children. I love you!!! You are one awesome cookie!!!

















And just one more thing!!!!! YOU'RE SO VAIN, YOU PROBABLY THINK THIS BLOG IS ABOUT YOU!!! Hee Hee Hee Hee Hee Hee Hee Hee Hee Hee!! I'm laughing out loud - cuz you make me do it!!!






OK - so after I write this, she writes one of the sweetest things in the land about me!!! She made me really teary and weepy because of how sweet she was to me. So, let me just tell you a little more about Miss Emily. She walked into my life one day wanting to test to be a dispatcher. She was the adorable firecracker of a blonde who had the biggest of smiles that I had ever seen. She took that horrible, awful video test and what she didn't know was her husband (a police officer) was pacing around outside wanting to know how she was doing in there. In fact, Patti called her husband as soon as we knew she passed so he knew before she did.

Miss Emily has an amazing gift for design, creation and craftiness (and not the sly mustacioed Snidley Whiplash craftiness, by any means). She makes her own purses and other things. For my birthday, she made me the most adorable little fold up contraption. She intended for me to put all my little keepsakes that I gathered in France in it. Well, that is where they are. I sneaked my hotel room keys, my tickets to the Eiffel Tower, my tickets to the Louvre, tickets for the train and metro and every other little ticket stub and paper I could imagine is all tucked away in this adorable little ribboned clutch.

We had a Christmas contest where people decorated windows. Emily won with her adorable elf design where people could write sweet things to their co-workers. It was because of her talent here, that I asked her to decorate a window again to boost morale in the office and have a little contest. Employees were asked to bring in baby photos of themselves, so people could decide which baby was which. It was an adorable project.

So, I have to say, my little girl (my dispatchers are my work kids - and the ones that I was their training coordinator have special places in my heart - which Emily is one) has made my life a little more sunny just by bringing that firecracker of a blonde with the big smile in one day to try and get a job!! I <3 you little missy!!

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...

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 - An update -- of sorts

 I was asked for an update.  So - I waited until my last appointment with my liver doctor to see what he was going to say.  What we were going to do.  What the hell is going on.   So - a little recap.  Mid August I was admitted to the hospital due to liver disease.  The initial diagnosis was cirrhosis of the liver due to malnutrition, which was caused by malabsorption. After a biopsy, that diagnosis was changed to pre-cirrhosis.  I had over two liters of fluid removed from my belly by needle aspiration the first day.  I left the hospital five days later with a PICC line with IV nutrition.  IV nutrition supplemented my regular diet for four months.  My PICC line was removed in December and now it's a matter of how my body adjusts as to what the steps are. Since August and having the IV nutrition, I gained over 40 pounds.  I was a little over 140 pounds when they disconnected IVY (my PICC line/nutrition/bag - that's her name...
