Day 25 - Someone Who Fascinates You and Why

UGH - another question that makes me have to think of something to say.  I have tried to think about all the people I know that fascinate me - and there are quite a few.  Ted is definitely a fascinating individual.  I have three kids, all individuals, who all intrigue me like crazy.  I have a mother who I absolutely adore and admire.  There are lots of other people in my life that I find interesting and fascinating.

I think I'll take a different tact though and talk about someone I admire and find absolutely fascinating.  This may be odd and I am not really sure how to go about it.  This is someone I have gotten to know a little better over the last couple of years and wish that other people knew her like I did.  Maybe they would appreciate her more.  She is freaking smart and knows her stuff.  I wish I had a fraction of the knowledge that she does. But, she doesn't use that knowledge to make you feel stupid if you are wrong - but, knowing her as I do, I know exactly when she is telling me that I have my facts wrong.  She is highly under estimated by those who should know her true value.  She is crazy fun and funny.  She truly cares about the people in her care.

Even though there may be a couple of times that she has made me a bit crazy, I wish people who work for her, with her and above her understood what a great asset she is.  She deserves to be treated alot better than she is - thanks for believing in me Roxann!!

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...
