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 - 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...

Day 9 - If You Could Have Any Job in the World, What Would it Be?

I was thinking and thinking and thinking about this.  I have had a very long career at a job I love.  I don't always love it, but, for the most part - it's been an awesome job and career.  I always tell people that I want to work at an airline, because I want to have the benefit of flying wherever and whenever I wanted - so if I had thought about it years ago - instead of law enforcement, I probably should have found a job in the travel industry - - but, that didn't work.  And, I fully intend one day to have those flight benefits. But, I am thinking of what I would have loved my career to be.  If I could have chosen the path of my life, I would have chosen to be a stay-at-home mom.  I can't think of a more fulfilling career than to have been more available to my kids and been there more for them.  My kids were raised by a mom who worked away from the home and spent a lot of time away from home.  I worked shift work, so there were days they never...
