Time Warp??


Have you ever felt like you were in the midst of a crazy time warp? That's how I feel right now. It just feels like time is flying by because of everything that is starting to shape up for the future. I mean, Halloween and Chelsea's third birthday are in two weeks. That is crazy to realize. Before you know it, it will be Ted's birthday, then Rodger's. Right after that, it's Thanksgiving. One month after that - Christmas is here.

I'm freaking out a bit. It's not the holidays that have me worried, it's that March is starting to just rush right at me!!! Usually, that would be ok, because that would mean it's almost Spring again. But, this March, my son is getting married. Now, I've really, honestly come to terms with my "baby boy" getting married. But, it's all the preparations and such that have me freaking out a bit. Becaue once Christmas is done, I know that March will be here sooo fast. We have a lot to plan for the wedding itelf, plus we have a bridal shower to think about, plus one week before the wedding I will be in Disneyland!! So much to do, and though five months sounds like quite a bit of time, this time warp is just bringing it on too fast!!!

  3. Weird because I feel the same way! Only I look back at the past few months, and while I've gone on a couple trips, I haven't really done many other major things...it's the day-to-day stuff that makes time fly by for me. Someone slow it down!

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...
