Things That Make You Go HMMMMM - - #15

I love Facebook.  It's quite the insight to a lot of things.  It brings people together.  It let's you know who the whack jobs are.  It brings you back to people you haven't seen nor heard from in a very long time - I connected with the girl who used to live next door to me - we grew up together until we were about 11 years old and then when she moved away, we really never saw each other much after that.  I've got cousins as friends, my sisters, my sister in law, friends,Teds brothers and sisters, work friends, sweepstakes friends, school friends, nieces, nephews, grand nieces, grand nephews, a grandson and of course my kids and their spouses!!  Let me just add here the friends I have made from gaining a son-in-law and a daughter-in-law, by becoming lifelong friends with their parents.
Right now, it makes me a bit insane - because the political crap that is posted CONSTANTLY just gets on my nerves.  I don't even care what side it's coming from, its all BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH anymore.  I know who I am voting for, it's my right, it's my responsibility and I take it seriously.   I don't really want to hear why or why not you like my candidate, why you don't like my candidate.  I can make that decision for myself.  But that is neither here nor there - the wonderful thing about this amazing country is it's my right to go BLAH BLAH BLAH at your posting constant messages for and against a candidate - but, it's also your right to post them.

Facebook stalking is quite a past time.  There is this little feed to the right side of my Facebook page that says, so and so liked so and so's status, so and so liked such and such's picture, such and such commented on so and so's status - and the beat goes on.  When you see them click, click, clicking down that feed, you kind of hover over what it is and you get a little insight to their soul; what do they like, what do they have to say about this, that and the other, who they really are.  However, there are those times that you see stuff that you don't really want to know about - those things that make your eyes go wide and you kind of want to know how to reverse your brain.  


HMMMMMMM - - think I'll mind my own business and go back to my slot machine, Words With Friends and Bingo.

P.S.  By the way - this is my 200th post on this blog.  Hope you enjoy it as much as I do!!  :)

    So, us parents of sons-and-daughters-in-law are not that important to mention. (opps maybe that is a good thing to be under the radar B^)

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...
