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 - 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 - Purpura?? What is that??

Defnition: Purpura - noun - the appearance of purple or red spots on the skin and mucous membranes caused by bleeding underneath the skin due to small blood vessels bursting. These spots can range in size from small dots (petechiae) to larger patches (ecchymosis or bruises) and may indicate underlying health issues. Sadly, when people see my arms, I get many responses and questions. From how are you doing? How are you feeling? OR what is up with your arms??? My BFF literally said, what the hell is wrong with your arms?? Like I had been out in the parking lot bruising myself up intentionally. And we had just talked about it a couple of weeks before when she saw it. Are they pretty?? No. But, they truly are the way I know the status of my health. Between seeing this stuff show up on my arms and my overall general state of strength lets me know if I should be concerned. Right now, my arms are actually look...

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...
