Things That Make You Go HMMMMMM - #21

I am married to the insanity that is Ted.  Ted can make me crazy in two or less seconds, depending on what his mood is.  We've had fights.  We've had times where I won't speak to him = usually my way of dealing with him until he finally convinces me to talk to him.  I've had moments where I don't know how much more I can take - it's always fleeting because of the rest of what I am going to write.  Here are all things Ted that makes me insane:

  • He can't go to a grocery store and buy one of anything.  It's always in multiples.  He just showed up a few minutes ago with four packages of marked down, cut round, just the right size for crackers turkey.  He was all excited.  It's a great deal he tells me, 89 cents, plus I found a dollar off coupon.  Really?  When are we going to eat it.  I know he will.  He'll use it for sandwiches or something.  But, for some reason, he had to buy four packages.
  • He is all nerd.  I've learned to deal with it.  I love that he is so smart and he knows pretty much everything.  Very seldom do I catch him telling me something incorrect.  But, he's definitely all nerd and when he wants to use his nerdom to "help" me, I want to beat him.  
  • He completely doesn't know how to apologize without kind of making you think it's your fault.  "I'm really sorry about that, but, you did this".  I watched him do it to Crystal just the other day.  I wanted to punch him in the face.  Sometimes just saying, "I'm sorry" is all that is necessary honey.
  • I can ask him a question, I will get the answer in the first two sentences, and then I have to listen to twenty more minutes on an explanation.  I learned very quickly to tune the rest out, because 95% of the time, I have no idea what he's talking about after that.
Why do I put up with this, you ask?  Really, it's not much to put up with.  I'm married to the most genuine and sweet man that ever lived.  And he's smart, too.  I don't think enough people appreciate and understand what an amazing man I married.  

He's an incredible romantic.  But, not in the classic sense of wine, roses, dinner and song.  He shows his romance in different ways.  He will walk up behind me and kiss me on he neck and wrap his arms around me.  He doesn't write love notes, but, he says the most amazingly romantic things - when he tells me I'm his silver lining, I know he means it.  But, the sweetest and romantic thing he does, the 12th day of every month, he will at some point in my day make sure he says, "Happy (insert number here) monthaversary".  Yesterday,  I was taking my shower at 6:30 in the morning.  He walked in, opened the shower, walked in, kissed me, said "Happy 95th monthaversary" and he turned around and walked out soaking wet.  

Who wouldn't love that kind of romance?

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...

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...
