CANCUN - Day Four!!!

I realize at this moment just how freaking old I am.  I hurt from head to toe.  My back hurts, my thighs hurt, my shoulders hurt, my feet hurt, my knees hurt.  AND I am extremely sunburnt and have mosquito bites from ankle to thigh.  Would I change it for anything, NOT ON YOUR LIFE!!!  We have had an awesome trip. 

Today, we slept in - after having to get up early for the last two days to go on adventures, we kept our last full day to just veg and chill.  We didn't sleep in too late, but, we got to breakfast around 9:00.  I do have to say, I am a little tired of buffet breakfast and I am thinking that room service is in order tomorrow. 

By 10:30 we were hanging out at the pool.  It was pretty breezy today and dark and cloudy.  It would blow and breeze, then it would clear up.  It would get sunny for a while then the clouds would come up.  We ate pizza and burgers for lunch at the grill and ordered drinks and shrimp cocktails by the pool.  I did water aerobics with a handsome Mexican man, his name was prounounced JAY-SHWAH.  It started out a little water aerobics and in fact, with the achy muscles I had, he was working our arms a bit too much - then it got wierd and we were all holding hands and going around in circles and holding up each other while we went around in circles again - then we all massaged each other.  Kind of a strange workout - but, I could at least say I tried to get some exercise yesterday.
We also played bingo at the pool side.

Ted and I went and played in the sea for about an hour and a half - just playing in the waves and of course I giggled and giggled.  We finished our jaunt  by going back to the pool and getting a drink at the swim up bar.  It was an awesome way to spend our day.  All we did was relax and I am literally exhausted - and I hurt from all the activity this week. 

We are finishing our day by going to a dinner put on by Corona for the winners - tomorrow we have to be packed and ready to go by 1:00.  It will be a long day - but, this trip has been nothing but fun from beginning to end and I really am grateful for the time I had here - grateful for winning this prize, grateful for the most wonderful hubby and traveling companion.  I hope my two kids are having even half the fun I did - because that would mean they are having a ball!!

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...
