Happy Birthday Ted!!



It's my hubby's birthday. I struck gold when I found this boy - or as I tell him, when I married my stalker. He was a rather persistent boy and never gave up. He is very good to me and I really appreciate him.

He's a very funny character. His little habits and such either make me laugh, giggle, cringe or just plain mad. I tease him becaue of the big geek he is. He has so much information in that big lunk head of his, that when you ask him a question, you will get a ten minute dissertation before he finally gets to the plain, simple answer. He is hilarious when he tries to teach you something. Case in point, he was explaining to KayeLynn about her computer, and in order to explain the different sizes of information, i.e. megabite, gigabite, etc, he would get different sizes of ball and say "this is a megabite", then say something like the living room was a gigabite. He loves his props.

I love to travel with him. We travel very well together. Whether it be on a plane, a train, a car or a boat. He and I do well together. We just have fun.

He is extremely affectionate. He loves to kiss, to hold hands, to hug. But, on the other hand, when I am not in the mood (I get grumpy), he doesn't force the issue. He really knows how to deal with me and does a great job of it.

I just want him to know that I absolutely adore him. He is a great husband, even at his geekiest, most obnoxious state. I hope he has the best birthday ever!!

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...
