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 - Ah, Shit!!!

I am exhausted. Physically. Mentally. Is there anything else?? Because I'm sure that is exhausted, too. I went to the doctor today. I knew it was going to be a lot of information. I had made a list. I had my notebook. I printed out all of the information from my emergency room visit on Saturday to take with me. Blood tests. CT Scan. Urine test. Plus, I brought my CT scan from March, because I noticed on it that I have a small umbilical hernia. I was ready. And I knew what I needed to fight for. I also came armed with gifts. I love this doctor and his medical assistant so much. I took them a gift of tortilla chips and homemade salsa. And I wrote a love note on the bag. That is how much I appreciate him. They both loved it. It even made Hayley get a little weepy, cuz she was having a bad day. I gave him all of my documents, and he went through the blood tests and such fr...

CoCo's Journey - Pre-surgery thoughts

I've been hanging out in my house for the most part. Hiding from germs. Hiding from phlegm. Hiding from coughs. Hiding from sneezes. Hiding from snot. Trying to stay healthy until surgery day. Not that I can hide very well. Roommate daughter is literally coughing a lung up. So, she can only hang out with me if she is wearing a mask. I am bathing in hand sanitizer when I remember. I'm taking elderberry gummies with a bunch of zinc and vitamin C in order to boost my immunities. Poor Roommate. Not that I would know much if I did have a cold. My nose has been running constantly since the day Jeff was pushed up my nostril. I have a constant sore throat, due to the tube rubbing in the back of my throat. The worst part is when I'm laying down and roll onto my left side. It starts to move around and I feel like I'm choking. It doesn't do it every time, but most of the time. And I don...

CoCo's Journey - Sleeping with Jeff AND Camilla

Well, the day has come and gone. I got my new and fancy attachment coming out of my face. It was a horrible experience. I thought I was going to go absolutely insane and take out the people putting it in me. But, let's talk about it real quick. I got an NJ tube. I thought I was going to be getting an NG tube. What is an NJ tube? It's a tube for feeding that is placed through the nose and snaked down past the stomach and into the jejunal. The jejunal is in the small intestine. The nasojejunal tube is more complex and has a few more risks than the nasogastric tube. But, apparently, it's the best choice for me. So let's talk about the actual procedure. I knew from the beginning, when they squirted lidocaine in my two nostrils to kind of deaden it that it was going to be COMPLETELY horrible!!! And then needed me to sniff it down to kind of deaden my throat, to make the tube a little more comfortable g...
