Southern Cali - Day Three - Last Day

Today was crazy at the parks. I think the population of the world was stuffed inside the two Disney Parks. It was absolutely crazy!! We did so very little, but, we got the things done that we had not done. So, all-in-all, it was a very productive day.



We started out in California Adventure - we did the Toy Story ride there. It was pretty fun, something I had never been on. And there was a couple of other things there that we did that we weren't able to do yesterday.

We then went over to Disneyland. We went to the Mr. Lincoln exhibit. That was pretty cool. I honestly didn't know it was there and the last time I remember seeing it was when I was like six years old. So that was pretty awesome. We did Buzz Lightyear's Astro Blasters, got my trash kicked by Wendy - it was a little bit of revenge for me kicking her butt on the Toy Story ride.

We had dinner at the Rain Forest Cafe and then Wendy and I went shopping - the rest of the ladies went back to the room and were pretty much asleep before we even got back AT 8:30!!! Good Gravy - bunch of party animals, aren't we!!!




The sweetest thing happened on the way back to the hotel on the shuttle bus. Wendy was in a seat and I was across from her. This little girl and her parents got on, but there wasn't really any seats together. The little girl sat by Wendy and was shivering and could barely keep her eyes open. Wendy snuggled her close and she fell asleep on her until the hotel. So freaking adorable.




This has been quite the adventure. It's been quite theh bonding experience for all of us. We've had some highs and a couple of lows, but for the most part it been an awesome time. I love each and every one of them with all my heart and I'm glad we've had this time together!!!

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...
