Am I Ready for This?


So, this last week has been kinda nice. I left work last Tuesday and go back tomorrow. I only took four hours vacation to get this mini vacation, because it's shift change and I am changing shifts. Not just a mild change, but I am going to the graveyard shift.

Now, I was a dyed-in-the-wool graveyarder about four years ago. And, I still love the whole different world that the graveyard shift offers; but, I haven't done it for four years. I have become the dreaded morning person. Now, to me, sleeping in is 7:00. I have been trying to adjust a little bit, I have been staying up til around midnight or 1:00, but, I'm back up at 8:00 and tired the rest of the day - not great for accomplishing much. Especially since I thought I could maybe get some painting finished and such. Oh well!!

I am really kind of excited about this. It' a whole new world. Maybe a little calmer atmosphere. I get to see daylight, or lighted haze, in my off hours (the reason I hate January is that it's dark, hazy and cold!!). Can't wait to see how this month turns out, a little extra money, a little less stress (hopefully) - maybe I'll just decide to stay there; doubtful, but you never know!!

    I don't understand why you didn't take me with you! What if you decide you like it and never come back??? If I decide to not give you the extra money, will you come back then???

CoCo's Journey - Mortality Reality

This week has been one for the books.  There has been some good things, not so good things and more.  I will explain. Last Saturday, my daughter and I drove to Idaho Falls.  We went to visit my bonus daughter and her family.  I wasn't feeling great.  But I wasn't feeling horrible.  By the time I got home, I had a lot of swelling.  I have been dealing with that for a few months.  I had started to see a specialist about my liver and my pancreas.  I had recently started a medication, it is a very pricey medication, but it's supposed to help me break down calories and nutrients so that my body absorbs them.  Even though I eat, my body was just shedding the nutrients and food I was eating and making it so I was not gaining weight.  I was 95 pounds.  And nothing I did would gain weight.  But I've gained 20 pounds over the last few months.  My clothes were uncomfortable.  But, I don't know if it's just the water retenti...

CoCo's Journey - TPN Me!!

 I just decided to do another post after spending my first night in my own bed with my new sexy bed partner.  TPN. TPN - Total Parenteral Nutrition.  Calories, vitamins, minerals and all that delivered through an intravenous line. PICC line -  A little stronger and more durable than a regular IV line.  It's inserted, via ultrasound, into a vein.  Mine is in my upper right arm.   IV Pump - an electrical system that pumps the IV fluid from my bag into my veins.   In essence, I have an IV bag, when first attached to my PICC line, it probably weighs 15 to 20 pounds.  It is kept in a backpack, so I can be mobile.  I have the pump plugged in, to keep it charged, when I'm not mobile and trying to get my home back in order after being gone for five days in the hospital. Me and my sexy new bed partner.  I know, I'm gorgeous.  Skinnier than a prepubescent 12-year-old boy and a mess.  Don't judge.  I'm working on it!! ...

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...
