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 - 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 - 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...

CoCo's Journey - Up Your Nose with a Rubber Hose

Sun wasn't even up when I headed to the hospital Today, I had my first albumin infusion. I have it at the Cancer Center. It lasts about four hours. They get an IV started and slowly infuse the albumin. Today, I learned a lot: Don't take your own snacks. They have great snacks and beverages. And you don't have to haul all that stuff. Four hours, sitting in a little curtained room, is really not bad. I snoozed, I snacked, I watched TV, I played on my phone. Make sure you take your power pack. If they ask you if you want a heated blanket, the answer is always YES. I had three by the time I left. I told the adorable CNA fella that I planned to just look like a pile of blankets by the time I was ready to leave. In October, we wear Halloween fare The side effects are headaches and achy muscles. I'm the lucky one that gets both. I'm doing ok tonight. I don't get headaches, I'm used to achy muscles. I limit my intake ...
