Dear Emily,

This post is dedicated to you - - and only you!! I am proud that you are one of my work children. I love you!!! You are one awesome cookie!!!

















And just one more thing!!!!! YOU'RE SO VAIN, YOU PROBABLY THINK THIS BLOG IS ABOUT YOU!!! Hee Hee Hee Hee Hee Hee Hee Hee Hee Hee!! I'm laughing out loud - cuz you make me do it!!!






OK - so after I write this, she writes one of the sweetest things in the land about me!!! She made me really teary and weepy because of how sweet she was to me. So, let me just tell you a little more about Miss Emily. She walked into my life one day wanting to test to be a dispatcher. She was the adorable firecracker of a blonde who had the biggest of smiles that I had ever seen. She took that horrible, awful video test and what she didn't know was her husband (a police officer) was pacing around outside wanting to know how she was doing in there. In fact, Patti called her husband as soon as we knew she passed so he knew before she did.

Miss Emily has an amazing gift for design, creation and craftiness (and not the sly mustacioed Snidley Whiplash craftiness, by any means). She makes her own purses and other things. For my birthday, she made me the most adorable little fold up contraption. She intended for me to put all my little keepsakes that I gathered in France in it. Well, that is where they are. I sneaked my hotel room keys, my tickets to the Eiffel Tower, my tickets to the Louvre, tickets for the train and metro and every other little ticket stub and paper I could imagine is all tucked away in this adorable little ribboned clutch.

We had a Christmas contest where people decorated windows. Emily won with her adorable elf design where people could write sweet things to their co-workers. It was because of her talent here, that I asked her to decorate a window again to boost morale in the office and have a little contest. Employees were asked to bring in baby photos of themselves, so people could decide which baby was which. It was an adorable project.

So, I have to say, my little girl (my dispatchers are my work kids - and the ones that I was their training coordinator have special places in my heart - which Emily is one) has made my life a little more sunny just by bringing that firecracker of a blonde with the big smile in one day to try and get a job!! I <3 you little missy!!

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...
