Jitters


I am up in the middle of the night. I try to go back to sleep, but my brain is swirling miles and miles a minute. My stomach is tied up in a HUGE knot. I've got the night sweats, can't cool down for anything. No, I don't have the flu. I'm just a mess.

I think things really hit me Wednesday night. I was reading Crystal's blog, where she said that it really had hit her - her baby brother was getting married. She is so sweet and I understood. I was sitting here on the couch with Ted and I just started to kind of sob; he was sweet to take care of me and hold me. My baby can't get married, he's just a baby. He is an awesome man - but, he's just a baby.

This week has just screamed by. I have been so busy doing stuff and preparing for the wedding. Monday and Tuesday were spent cooking. Wednesday and Thursday I was cleaning and running around. Today we are having a dinner for the wedding party. Tomorrow is the big day.

This man, who is actually a baby, has a huge piece of my heart. He is my baby, he is my only boy. I love all my kids. I adore every one of them. I love and adore them all differently; because they are all different people. Crystal is my oldest; a soulmate of sorts - she actually helped me raise the other two. She is an awesome mom, wife, daughter, sister and person. KayeLynn has alway been "My BooBoo". In fact, she is called "Aunt BooBoo". She is the one that I always seem to worry about. She and I spend a lot of time together and I am amazed by her every day. And then it comes to my "baby boy". What an awesome man; he can't stand to see anyone sad or upset. He will find ways to try and make you laugh, because he can't stand to see people cry. You will never find a more patient and kind man (who is still a baby to me). He just absolutely loves Rustie - I've really, honestly never seen anyone more in love than the two of them - it's rather disgusting.

I won't go into my other kids - but, just so you know, I love and adore them, too. Ted has given me two awesome girls and three other adorable grandchilden.

I know that I have raised awesome and wonderful kids. We have leaned on each other through thick and thin. We have an amazing bond. As they grow older and grow up, I am thoroughly convinced that God gave me an the most wonderful gift when he sent these three to me. I love you.

    This makes my heart hurt cuz I know how you feel. And God forbid you call your "young man" your "little boy". Don't let Rustie see this unless she's very understanding. I still see my babies as babies, butI don't dare say that out loud.
    Your the best!!

    Rustie is pretty dang good with me. She likes to give me some crap and says she is stealing my boy. But, I know she is gonna share with me. She is pretty awesome, too.

    I know the feeling! I felt the same way when Riley got married...not Jared for some reason, LOL, but definitely Riley. Turns out, life really hasn't changed much after a couple years of him being married...in case that gives you any hope for the future. :-)

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...
