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 - 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...

Day 9 - If You Could Have Any Job in the World, What Would it Be?

I was thinking and thinking and thinking about this.  I have had a very long career at a job I love.  I don't always love it, but, for the most part - it's been an awesome job and career.  I always tell people that I want to work at an airline, because I want to have the benefit of flying wherever and whenever I wanted - so if I had thought about it years ago - instead of law enforcement, I probably should have found a job in the travel industry - - but, that didn't work.  And, I fully intend one day to have those flight benefits. But, I am thinking of what I would have loved my career to be.  If I could have chosen the path of my life, I would have chosen to be a stay-at-home mom.  I can't think of a more fulfilling career than to have been more available to my kids and been there more for them.  My kids were raised by a mom who worked away from the home and spent a lot of time away from home.  I worked shift work, so there were days they never...
