Top 10 - Why I'm the Luckiest Wife

I was thinking today how lucky I am to have Ted in my life. Here are my top ten reasons why I am so danged lucky. He's pretty awesome.

When I have a virus in my computer, he stops everything to fix it and make it better.
When I get dressed and ready to go, he'll say, "well hello gorgeous".
He loves to touch, caress, hug and kiss me.
On the days I work, I work double shifts. I work early morning, come home to eat and take a nap, then work a night shift. When I get home, my bed is turned down so I can climb in and go to sleep for about an 60-90 minutes. Plus the remote is on the pillow, so I can turn the tv on before I fall asleep.
He makes me breakfast every Saturday morning.
He wishes me a "happy monthaversary" every twelfth day of the month - for the day we got married. Plus he adds up the number of months.
He just likes hanging out with me. Whether we are sitting on the couch, driving about town, yard sale-ing, or travelling. He just likes being with me.
When I make dinner, whether it's hot dogs and mac and cheese or a full delicious, hours-to-make meal, he always says, "thanks babe, that was really good".
He gives me my independence. I don't live under his thumb. I don't have to worry that he is going to judge me for my decisions and he supports me 100%.
He is just amazing and fun and adorable and kind. He loves to be loved. He loves his daughters and his grandchildren totally and completely. He has accepted my kids and grandchildren as his own (and sometimes, I think they are more like him than they are like me). He is just the perfect fit for me.

Thanks for choosing me Mr. Conrad.

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...
