Halloween... 2011

Here is a list of lessons I have learned this Halloween:
Angry Bird and Red Devil


1 - Wearing a wig with your costume is not easy. Hence the Amy Winehouse fail. It was very top heavy and difficult to wear - hence the inability to wear it the next week for your costume to the next party.

2 - You shouldn't buy a cute and sexy pitchfork to go with your next costume, cute little red devil, if you are going to forget to take it - hence incomplete costume.

2 - Wearing horns with your little red devil outfit is also difficult, because they want to slip - hence the can and a half of hairspray necessary to keep the curls and the horns in.

3 - A can and a half of hairspray can be flammable - hence the singe to the tips of the hair when it got to close to the heat. At least it wasn't as bad as Amberly wanted me to believe.

4 - Sambuka is made of the devil - hence the necessity to go home early.

Lydia the Batgirl

5 - It's always best to let Ted hand out the Halloween treats - hence laughing your behind off when some kid wants to "sling shot" the Angry Bird.

Gabriel the Skeleton

All in all, Halloween was an awesome time. We went trick or treating at my work, Ted and I went to a couple of parties. I dressed up for the first time in a long time - usually my idea of dressing up is just my Halloween shirts. My little princess turned four. And the day after, I went to her birthday party at a jump place and got to be bounced around on a huge pillow - what more could a girl ask for?? It was tons of fun!!!

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...
