Day 29 - List Ten People, Alive or Dead, You Would Invite to Dinner - Include the Dinner Menu

I literally avoided this entry yesterday because I am befuddled by it.  This one is a tricky, tricky one. I want a fun and interesting table - so there would be hilarity and interesting people to keep me entertained. So, here, let's try:


  1. Phil Keoghan - host of Amazing Race - he is so well traveled and so interesting.  I think he could bring some interesting stories to the table and he could raise that one eyebrow at Sheldon.
  2. Jim Parsons - the person who plays the character based on Ted - wanna see how the real compares with the character.
  3. Bill Engvall - he is hilarious!!!  I would have poster boards available for him.  "here's your sign"
  4. Red Skelton - just a funny guy from the past
  5. Lucille Ball - need a funny girl from the past, too - and I loved watching all of her television shows
  6. Henry Cho - I love him.  
  7. Rhianna - need someone to sing to me "Cheers to the Freakin' Weekend" - need an anthem
  8. Adele - need someone to sing a sad ballad to me - so when things get out of control, we can bring it down a notch
  9. VanGogh - because I want an abstract painting of the event
  10. Bill Gates - because I just want him to give me some cash when it's all done (I would accept Mark Zuckerburg, too - one billionaire is as good as another)

As for dinner - we are going buffet style and hanging out in the living room.  We will be eating sloppy joes, potato salad, veggie tray - - - for dessert - pie.

And just so you know - and I am sure you can already tell - I pulled most of this out of my a$$ - because I had absolutely no clue what else to do.  I am absolutely committed to finishing this challenge!!!!!!!!!!!!

CoCo's Journey - How Did I Get Here??

Malabsorption - definition - Malabsorption is a state arising from abnormality of food nutrients across the gastrointestinal tract.  Impairment can be single or multiple nutrients depending on the abnormality.  This may lead to malnutrition and a variety of anaemias (blood disorders). I have heard the term before.  But the first time I had heard it in response to me was a little over a week ago.  I was with my roommate daughter at her appointment and her doctor pointed to IVY and said, what's up with that??  So I told him.  And he said, people have no idea how hard it is when you have malabsorption.  People think you can just eat to make it better, but you can't. So let's go to the beginning.... If you have known me at all in the last few decades, you know that I was "morbidly obese".  I topped out at 245 pounds.  I had Type 2 Diabetes, high blood pressure, thyroid disease and stomach issues (gerd) for the last couple of decades and had taken...

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...

CoCo's Journey - An update -- of sorts

 I was asked for an update.  So - I waited until my last appointment with my liver doctor to see what he was going to say.  What we were going to do.  What the hell is going on.   So - a little recap.  Mid August I was admitted to the hospital due to liver disease.  The initial diagnosis was cirrhosis of the liver due to malnutrition, which was caused by malabsorption. After a biopsy, that diagnosis was changed to pre-cirrhosis.  I had over two liters of fluid removed from my belly by needle aspiration the first day.  I left the hospital five days later with a PICC line with IV nutrition.  IV nutrition supplemented my regular diet for four months.  My PICC line was removed in December and now it's a matter of how my body adjusts as to what the steps are. Since August and having the IV nutrition, I gained over 40 pounds.  I was a little over 140 pounds when they disconnected IVY (my PICC line/nutrition/bag - that's her name...
