Weird Things You Do Alone - Day 1

I really wish I could tell myself that I live an exciting life.  But, we all know that would be a giant lie. I'm really quite boring.

When all alone, I tend not to do much:

  • I sit and watch daytime television
  • I drink Diet Coke
  • Eat too much
  • Clean my house
  • Find excuses not to clean my house
  • Do laundry
  • Take naps when I've been working the morning
  • I belch and fart - out loud, even
  • If there is music on and I'm standing up I will start shaking my butt and moving it around - in an attempt to dance
  • If I am in the middle of getting undressed or dressed and start doing something else, I forget to finish getting dressed - and in the summer or spring the front door may be open
  • In the winter, I turn on the heat, after realizing that it is freezing cold inside the house - usually it gets to 65 or 64 before I realize
  • I talk to myself - a lot actually, more than I should
  • Sometimes, I don't brush my hair - or my teeth - until late, late in the afternoon or evening.  So gross.
  • I pass judgment on people; whether it be someone on the Price is Right or an idiot on the afternoon news - again, out loud
  • I run errands
  • When out and about, I tend to spend too much money on things I don't need
  • I sing along with the radio, in the car, and I dance, too - - I do a mean Adele, Lady GaGa and Jon Bon Jovi
  • I do incredibly stupid and klutzy things
  • And I'm human - that's pretty much as exciting as it gets

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...
