Phone Call!!!

So I made a phone call today. I was calling the father of my future daughter-in-law to make arrangements for the wedding invitations. I was in my car and driving when I did this. Here is the jist of he conversation:

RING RING

Him: Hello.
Me: Hello, is this Russ?
Him: Yes.
Me: This is Colleen. James' mom.
Him: Who?
Me: James' mom.
Him: Who?
Me: James mom. Your daughters fiance.
Him: Dane?
Me: No, James. Your daughter, Rustie, her fiance's mom.
(at this point, I am looking at my daughter KayeLynn, thinking that I am talking to a man with Alzheimers. He doesn't even know his daughters fiance's name)
Him: Who? My daughter isn't engaged.
Me: Is this Russ?
Him: Yes.
Me: Russ Rolfe?
Him: No, Russ Nay.
Me: Oh My Gosh!!!! I called my brother!!!! Crap!!
We then talked for a minute, which involved me laughing hysterically for not realizing I had two men named Russ in my phone and could possibly be dialing the wrong number!! Good Lordy!!! It was pretty funny!! KayeLynn was pretty hysterical, too!!!

    Disturbing Fact #1: Your brother did not look at his Caller ID...not only did he not look at it BEFORE he answered, he didn't look at it DURING the call with [what he thought was] a crazy lady insisting his daughter was engaged.

    Disturbing Fact #2: He didn't recognize his own sister's voice.

    Disturbing Fact #3: He didn't recognize either of the names James or Rustie enough to realize who you were.

    Note to Colleen: Spend more time with your brother.

    I really want to know what Amberly had to say the first time!! There is a response to every one of your disturbing facts, but, that would make the whole thing even that more disturbing.

    Amberly had to say lots of typos the first time, but it was the same comment. I know, totally just killed the suspense.

    *Note to Self: Add, then delete comments on all Colleen's posts to appear "mysterious."

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...

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...

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...
