Resolutions


I'm following my muffie Trynitee's example and putting my resolutions down in order to make myself a little more accountable.





#1 - I need to resolve to appreciate Ted more. He is so very good to me and sometimes I don't appreciate it as much as I should. I love him so very much. And when his geekiness gets out of control or when he comes home with twenty of one item from the damaged freight store and we probably don't even need one - I need to calm myself and just let it roll. He's just being Ted - the guy I love.

#2 - I need to keep working on the weight. I had lost 27 pounds prior to the holiday. I've gained about four back since going off my diet. I am going back on the diet here in a couple of weeks and need to work harder on maintaining. The excuse that it's "rough during the holidays" can't cut it anymore. It's gotta become a way of life.

#3 - I need to be more organized and get some more projects done. I need to start deciding what I want to accomplish in this house and get them done. There are more rooms to paint!!!




#4 - And finally - I vow to spend more time with my kids and my grandbabies this year. With my kids I need to just be with them more and with my grandbabies I need to take them on more dates - I need to let them come hang out at Coco's more. They are the very center of my heart and I want to spend more time with them!!

    When your done painting, I have a bathroom that needs to be done as well. :)
    Your lucky your daughters will let you take the grandkids on playdates. I would love just to take mine out shopping or to lunch with just the 2 of us.

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...
