Day 10 - Your Guilty Pleasure

FOOD - more food - and FOOD!!!  I want to say, just kidding - but, I am not.  I love food - I think about food - I savor food - I enjoy food - I crave food.  It's a very difficult problem for an old fat woman - because if you want to control yourself, you have to find foods that are not going to cause you to become an even fatter woman.  You have to figure out what food you can enjoy. You have to find out your limits.

The next guilty pleasure is Diet Coke.  I drink it way more than I should drink it - I even drink it more than water.  It's not that it's delicious - cuz it really doesn't have a lot of flavorful taste - but, it is so dang refreshing!!!

My final guilty pleasure is everything girlie.  I love a facial.  I love a massage.  I love a manicure.  I love a new haircut and color. I love to get my eyebrows waxed and shaped.  I love a pedicure.  If anything, I love my pedicure the very most.  I love to stick my feet in that warm blue water and have my feet scrubbed, my toes buffed, my cuticles cleaned up, my calluses and cracks buffed down and my nails painted - and added with a cute little flower added to the big toe.  There is nothing better than feeling like a girl.  I really didn't become that high maintenance until after George died - until then I really didn't pay much attention to things like that.  But, once it was discovered, I found that I was the truest of all girls.

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 retention or if the medication was helping me get that nu

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!! Well, my new bed partner/roommate, is going to take getting

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 diuretics.  I had some blood tests today, once my doctor
