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 - How Did I Get Here??

Malabsorption - definition - Malabsorption is a state arising from abnormality of food nutrients across the gastrointestinal tract.  Impairment can be single or multiple nutrients depending on the abnormality.  This may lead to malnutrition and a variety of anaemias (blood disorders). I have heard the term before.  But the first time I had heard it in response to me was a little over a week ago.  I was with my roommate daughter at her appointment and her doctor pointed to IVY and said, what's up with that??  So I told him.  And he said, people have no idea how hard it is when you have malabsorption.  People think you can just eat to make it better, but you can't. So let's go to the beginning.... If you have known me at all in the last few decades, you know that I was "morbidly obese".  I topped out at 245 pounds.  I had Type 2 Diabetes, high blood pressure, thyroid disease and stomach issues (gerd) for the last couple of decades and had taken...
