Interesting People - - - #6

I have made a friend. A soul sister for life. I am so excited by this connection. She is one of the most interesting and lovely people I have ever met and I hope we have a long and enduring friendship. She is simply amazing!! I 100% adore her and if she'll have me, I'll be her friend forever. We connected back in October, but, she and I still feel a crazy, awesome connection.

She is one of the most endearing and genuine people I know. She puts everyone in front of herself. She is a supervisor of a 911 center in Green Bay, Wisconsin. She has worked there for 21 years. She is loved by her staff. She recently had a career disappointment when she wasn't chosen to be the Assistant Director.

She and I just spent about two hours talking about her opportunities and drinking margaritas - some of the best margaritas I've ever had by the way.

Have I told you she is an amazing person??

Besides working in a 911 center, she started her own publishing company. Who can do that?? I can't even fathom how someone just starts their own publishing company! Not only did she start her own company - but, she has made it successful and she has two books that are going to be made into movies. Impressive - right!!! She has literally changed her entire life since I saw her last time - a mere two months ago. She has had some very intense downs over the last two months and some even more amazing ups. I don't want to go into them all, but, I am just amazed by her.

She will be doing some reflecting and some planning over the next month - and she'll make some hard decisions. One things for sure, I am proud to be her friend and I am so excited to know someone as amazing as her. Soul sister - just know that I am here for you!!

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...
