A New Member of My Family - - -






Welcome Drew Rustie Rolfe!!

Thursday morning, I got a call from my son. Now, it's no secret that my baby boy is extremely special to me; he's got a huge hunk of my heart!! Anyway, when he called me Thursday he asked me if I was sitting down - to which I said I wasn't (it's not a good sign when someone asks you that and I really was sitting down, but I was kind of frightened). Then he told me to sit down. He then proceeded to tell me that he had asked his girlfriend to marry him and she said YES (why anyone would consider saying no is completely beyond me). He had given her the ring that he had bought for her to signify the special event. After congratulating him for just a second, I went into mom mode and started lecturing him about stuff I had already said to him, over and over and over and over and over before. That was not a very nice thing for me to do, because I had kind of stolen his happy thunder and I really feel kind of horrible about that. His sister kind of slapped me around a bit to let me know that I did a very dumb thing - because I should have just been down right happy for them and I am very happy for them. These two are scary, disgusting, crazy in love - and I love to see my baby boy so very happy.

There are no real formal plans at this point (that I am aware of), they are trying to do a little planning. However, I want my son to know that he has found a beautiful young woman to spend his life with and I can't wait to see what they make of their lives. I also want Rustie to know that she is marrying the most awesome man in the world; he is the most sensitive, strong, caring, loving, funny, silly, crazy, smart, amazing, proud, considerate, teasing, sweet, happy guy there is. However, she also needs to know he can be cranky, annoying, ornery and depressed at times and that makes him no fun to be around (but, ya just have to deal with it to get the great qualities described before that).

I love you both and I'm so happy you are letting me share this special and happy time of your lives.

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...
