Phone Call!!!

So I made a phone call today. I was calling the father of my future daughter-in-law to make arrangements for the wedding invitations. I was in my car and driving when I did this. Here is the jist of he conversation:

RING RING

Him: Hello.
Me: Hello, is this Russ?
Him: Yes.
Me: This is Colleen. James' mom.
Him: Who?
Me: James' mom.
Him: Who?
Me: James mom. Your daughters fiance.
Him: Dane?
Me: No, James. Your daughter, Rustie, her fiance's mom.
(at this point, I am looking at my daughter KayeLynn, thinking that I am talking to a man with Alzheimers. He doesn't even know his daughters fiance's name)
Him: Who? My daughter isn't engaged.
Me: Is this Russ?
Him: Yes.
Me: Russ Rolfe?
Him: No, Russ Nay.
Me: Oh My Gosh!!!! I called my brother!!!! Crap!!
We then talked for a minute, which involved me laughing hysterically for not realizing I had two men named Russ in my phone and could possibly be dialing the wrong number!! Good Lordy!!! It was pretty funny!! KayeLynn was pretty hysterical, too!!!

    Disturbing Fact #1: Your brother did not look at his Caller ID...not only did he not look at it BEFORE he answered, he didn't look at it DURING the call with [what he thought was] a crazy lady insisting his daughter was engaged.

    Disturbing Fact #2: He didn't recognize his own sister's voice.

    Disturbing Fact #3: He didn't recognize either of the names James or Rustie enough to realize who you were.

    Note to Colleen: Spend more time with your brother.

    I really want to know what Amberly had to say the first time!! There is a response to every one of your disturbing facts, but, that would make the whole thing even that more disturbing.

    Amberly had to say lots of typos the first time, but it was the same comment. I know, totally just killed the suspense.

    *Note to Self: Add, then delete comments on all Colleen's posts to appear "mysterious."

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...
