Day 13 - Somewhere You Would Like to Move or Visit

OK - this post isn't fair at all - because I want to visit EVERYWHERE I can before this life is over. There is so many places and so little time. I love to travel and there is absolutely no where I would not want to go.

After a little taste of Europe - there is so many places I want to go on that continent: Italy, specifically Venice - Germany - Ireland - Scotland - I would love to return to Paris - Austria - - love, love, love the idea of going to Europe
I would love to rail Canada - from one end to the other
I would love to spend some time in South America - Costa Rica, Panama
Australia and New Zealand - wanna see them
Carribean - Hawaii - - yeah, the beach is where I wanna go.
As far as the U.S. of A. - - I want to go to New Orleans, San Antonio is a dream, I would love to drive New England and go to all the little states clustered in the north east - in fact, I think if I could, I would get in a motorhome, spend eight weeks or so driving and visiting each state and visiting every "largest ball of twine" or other odd sights on my route and camping at the KOA's and such along the way. I wanna go back to Florida and take Ted to Epcot - I think he would love it.

As far as moving somewhere - I am home where I am. My family is here. That's all that matters to me - where they are is where I wanna be.

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
