Changes

Today, after we finished eating our lunch, I told Ted I had something to say to him.  So he asked me what I wanted.  I said, "hold on, I have to be hugging you first".

I pulled him into an embrace and held him close.  I whispered into his ear, "I was really worried about us spending so much time together, but now I'm so happy we do."

You see, Ted started a new job about two and a half months ago.  He now works from home.  That means he is home ALL THE TIME.  I work every other week, so I am home ALOT.   Meaning, this was going to be a lot of together time.  Him just feet away, in his dungeonous home office, while I was just a few feet away, spending my time in the upper level of our home.  And the days I do work, I'm home at 11:30 in the morning and spend a few hours before going back to work.  So - here we are together again.

I am not going to lie.  I thought it was going to be a very difficult transition.  I wasn't sure that Ted and I spending that much time together was a good idea.  I thought we would get a little irritable with each other.

From day one, I've loved spending the time with him.  He goes down to his little dungeon office.  And he is busy from that moment.  He'll come up around noon, we'll have lunch together.  And we do that pretty much every day - because we are together.  The only time we really don't do lunch together, will be because I have lunch plans with a friend.  Otherwise, it's the two of us.

So, my fears were unfounded.  The two of us are good together.  And more time this weekend.....annual honeymoon is in the plans.

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...
