Day 21 - Your Favorite TV Show
There are lots of shows that I like. There are reality shows that I am very addicted to; Amazing Race, Project Reality. I have a hard time missing an episode. I have a real thing for all the CSI shows. I love sitcoms; Two and a Half Men, Mike and Molly. But, if I was to choose a show that is my favorite, I would have to say The Big Bang Theory. There is a reason that I love the Big Bang Theory - it's because I am absolutely 100% positive that they based the character Sheldon on my husband, Ted. I am always talking about how Ted is a dork - well, he is a dork to Sheldon extreme. Though Ted doesn't have the whole germaphobe problem, he does seem to have a lot of the idiosyncrasies that Sheldon does. In the very first episode, was where I became convinced and it's all because of Sheldon's spot. Ted has his own spot that he sits on - and even my 83-year-old mother is not allowed to sit in Ted's spot - and it's all about the way the air flows, the line of sight to the television, the lack of glare from the sun.
It is because of this that The Big Bang Theory has become my very favorite show.
LOL I think the that's my spot is a guy thing. When watching tv Josh always sits on the right hand side of the couch and I the left but when playing video games it is imperative he sits on the left to be straight at the tv even though the distance between left and right is maybe a foot.
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...
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!! ...
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...
