California Adventure - Day Two

OK, so we found out we are a bunch of old ladies that really can't keep up. We have the greatest of intentions, but, we lost steam. Around 6:00, we were done, we were finished, we were exhausted.

We went to California Adventure today. I broke my sunglasses yesterday, so the very first order of business for me was to get me some new ones. I got me some very awesome and cool black sunglasses with pink Mickey's on them. They are awesome, freaking cool!!



We then went over and got our fastpasses for Soaring Over California. If you have never been on this ride, and you get the opportunity, you must GO!!! Two things to remember; ask for ROW ONE and SNIFF!!!! On row one, you don't have feet dangling in front of you, you're way up high and it's AWESOME!!!

Then we went over to the Tower of Terror. My sister Cheryl and my sister-in-law Wendy have never been on these rides, so this was new to them. We screamed and laughed and giggled on this ride. It's very cool to go on these rides with people for the first time.





I have to say, we are having a great time and so much fun. I was kind of worried about this trip, not sure how all these different personalities, shoved in one room together would do - but, we've done great and we are having a ball!!

  2. This is reminding me of the "girl" trips my grandma would take us on once a year. My mom & her sister..her daughter (my cousin/sister) me & grandma. One year we went to Hawaii...Grandma would always call it an early night after dinner & then tell me & my cousin..."now u girls don't stay out late"!!

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...
