Theodore


Ted is so freaking good to me. I have to say, of allllll my husbands, he knows how to deal with me very best. Even in those very small, few times that we are fighting, he doesn't really fight with me. Ted has all these crazy idiosincrasies that absolutely drive me INSANE - - one of them is that he likes to buy stuff. But, when he buys stuff, he'll buy more than one. When he comes home, he'll say "look what I bought you". Like he really bought it for me!! Ha ha ha!! One of the things he has bought in the past is lunch meat - deli sliced turkey, especially. So, yesterday, I came home to put groceries away, and there was absolutely no room in either of the two freezers we have stuffed full. I absolutely blow a gasket!! I start dragging stuff out. I start re-arranging. I start moving stuff around. There are probably a dozen packages of sliced turkey, three packages of bologna, ten packages of hot dogs. All great deals Ted has found. I finally get things re-arranged and the new groceries put away. I send him the following text message:

let me preface this by saying I love you...I adore you... but, I am putting my foot down!!! you are NOT allowed to bring home anymore lunch meats, sliced meats, hot dogs, etc until some of the crap taking up room in my freezer is thawed out and eaten!! I cannot fit the FRESH meats that you and I are supposed to be eating in the freezer cuz of all the other crap!! I love you!! and thank you!!

Know what his response is??? His response is "OK. XOXOXO". How do you even respond to that?? I just love that about him. I assure you, he's not a meek and beaten soul (cuz I kinda sound like a lunatic in that text message that just nags and harps on him). He just lets me rant and rave and deals with me.

Theodore - I love you!! Thanks for being the bestest husband in the land!!

    U know they do say the 8th husband is the best!! j/k.
    LOL, it's usually my hubby that is throwing crap out of the freezer cuz we haven't use it in a LONG time & he's sick of moving it. I do like to stock up on good buys of block cheese. :)

    And my hat goes off to that LONG text u sent him. I HATE to text. If I had to text all that u just did, I would of just dialed the phone. His reply, now, that is how I like to text. Short & sweet!

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...
