Done at Disney - A Wrap-Up



So, I got home around 11:30 this morning. I have to say, I can barely keep my eyes open. I thought I would share some final thoughts about our trip.

The Awesome:

1 - spending time with my sisters and my mama.
2 - the fact that we spent four nights, three days in one hotel room with one bathroom and didn't kill each other.
3 - going with Wendy and Cheryl for their firt time on: Soaring Over California, Hollywood Tower of Terror and California Screaming.
4 - getting a cute flower painted on my face (I have never had my face painted before!!)
5 - making the guy on the bus blush by offering to let him sit on my lap.
6 - Monkey Business!! The only thing at the Rain Forest Cafe that tasted good.
7 - watching Wendy snuggle that cutest little girl on the bus.
8 - getting a "Happily Ever After" button because Wendy was a crybaby!
9 - giving my button to a little girl in a Tangled princess dress - she kept coming over and talking to me at breakfast and showing me her cute dress.
10 - wheelchair access in Disneyland!! NUFF SAID!!

The Odd:

1 - the fact that six women could share a room and still manage to all get showered, blow dryed, made up, dressed and out the door within ninety minutes each day (may have even been quicker).
2 - having a guy on the bus say "I remember you ladies" the last day - we must have been a little rowdy the day before?
3 - bonding with my sisters and mother over a discussion about poop and farts
4 - the fact that a little old lady, probably a hundred pounds soaking wet, thinks she needs the entire bed space. She convinces herself that she is sleeping on the edge, what she doesn't realize is that when your head is in the upper left hand corner and your feet are in the lower right hand corner, you are taking up the whole bed!!!

The Bad:

1 - not sleeping for four nights straight - OK, I slept, just not good.
2 - being on the ground floor of the hotel with the second floor walkway right above your room - the closer it got to the weekend, the harder it got to sleep.
3 - no water pressure; in the hotel and Disneyland
5 - Monkey Business - $11.99, at that price, you can only have one!!
6 - having the swimming pool and hot tub closed for refurbishing!!
7 - there ain't anything much worse than burping Rain Forest Cafe lettuce wraps for hours and hours!!

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...
