Ten Years - Time Flies

Ted and I are celebrating our ten year anniversary. It's a double anniversary for me, as one year ago today, I started at Delta Air Lines - an amazing job at an amazing place.

As we sat at dinner tonight, I asked him, "where do you think we'll be in ten years? In ten years, I'll be 63 and you'll be turning 70".

We discussed the places we want to go:

west coat and drive the Pacific Coast Highway
Chicago - drive Lake Shore Drive
The east coast and drive through New England
Sea Island, Georgia - Ted was telling me about it and now I must go!!!
back to Europe
just to name a few

We discussed our grandkids:

Aedynn will turn 25
Zach will be 20
Chelsea will be 17
Lydia will turn 17 the next day
Gabriel will be 16 (and all three will be driving!!)
Cash will be 12
Penny will be 11
Harper will turn 10 that year

It's amazing how fast the time goes. It's crazy how fast things change. When Ted and I got married, Aedynn was just barely out of toddler stage. Zachary was months old. We have added six grandchildren to our brood.

We moved into our house two months after we got married, now we are working on completely updating our living room and I have plans for updating our bedroom. Last summer we built our patio and just yesterday we had our first barbecue of the season to celebrate Mother's Day. We are very content with our lives together - though things are continually changing in our outside worlds.

Here's to looking into the future and watching what more is in store for us.

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...
