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 - 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...
