Disneyland - Day One!!

We went to Disneyland for our first day. This is a trip of all girls. All grown up girls!! Some would see us as a group of elderly, old ladies. I am here with my four sisters (one is my brother's wife) and my 82-year-old mother.

It started out with the six of us getting up and ready for our "early" entrance and trying to get six women ready with one bathroom (we did have two sinks) is not easy!



The even more comical part was the six of us trying to find a way to the park. Here we are, walking hotel to hotel trying to find out how to get on the bus. A different story was told at each hotel how to get there. Eventually, a city bus came along and told us there was another one coming that would go to the park. The driver on that bus looked at us like we were ABSOLUTELY FREAKING CRAZY!!! He just told us to get on the bus and didn't charge us. Took us around to the other street and let us off in front of the park.

We then went and got a wheelchair and we were off!! We did the usual stuff, however, we did it MUCH FASTER!! They pretty much have California Adventure set up where wheelchairs go through the usual entrances, but, at Disneyland, you go through the exit and get on quicker. We flew through pretty much every line...it was rather awesome. And we didn't do it to do that, my 82-year-old mama needed the wheelchair. She can walk, but, she has a bum back and a bum knee, so she really did need the chair.

Wendy and I got our faces painted!!! We were so freaking adorable!!! We had twinsy flowers on our cutest faces!!




We ended the day by going over to California Adventure to see the new show, The World of Color. It's like Fantasmic, but different music, etc. It was really cool. Before we went there, we went on Soaring Over California. It was Wendy and my sister Cheryl's first time. I love going on that ride with people for their very first time, because it is so amazing!! I love telling them to SMELL the pine, the oranges, the ocean!!





Today, we are going back to California Adventure. It's gonna be another LONG day, but I am having the time of my life with my sister's and my mom!!!

  1. I'm jealous but glad your having a great time. You needed a break from all the hubbub! Enjoy it. Your bus story reminds me of when Josh and I were in D.C. and we got on the merto to go to the arts museum only to find out we walked 6 blocks to the same spot we got on the metro and there it was a block away! Bahhh lol

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...
