Inappropriate Memory Lane and Monkeys

When I got home tonight, something brought back a memory. So obviously, I must relay it to everyone - because that is what I do.

When Ted and I decided that we were going to get married, he and I decided that we needed to sell the houses we were in and get a home together. We felt that if we were living in my house it would be my house and if I was living in his house it would be his house - but, if we got a home together, it would be our house.

We put Ted's house on the market first - and we had to get it sale ready, so we started purging and boxing him up so that we could get the house on the market. One of those days, my daughter KayeLynn came to help do some boxing and cleaning. She was down on the floor, on her hands and knees, boxing something up. Ted walked through the room and into another room. As he did so, KayeLynn started up with this horrified look on her face. She says, "Mom, he just grabbed my butt". I wasn't sure what to say or think. When Ted walked in the room, I looked at him and asked if he grabbed her butt. Ted then gets a horrified look on his face and says, "Oh my god, I thought she was you!!!" Yes, Ted grabs my butt. Ten years later, he still does.

The reason I bring this up, the show Modern Family was playing on the television. The character played by Ty Burrell happens to grab a girls butt and when she turns around, he is aghast and explains that he thought the girl was his wife. I started to laugh hysterically, because this memory flooded back.

Since I'm on the subject, when we packed up Ted's stuff, this was one of the boxes. When I turned the corner, I honestly thought we had packed a monkey in the box. I have no clue how his little face ended up so perfectly in the window of the box.

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...
