"It's because the adults, who no longer have any economic use for you, have abandoned you to spend years cooped up together with nothing real to do."

Feeling better

I'm feeling much better now that my thyroid has been killed off. So, I should be posting more soon.

Diagnosis Confirmed: Treatment forthcoming

Well, I heard back from the doctor and the results of all my tests have come in and indeed I am seeing a recurrence of Graves Disease. I was fist diagnosed in 1998 at the age of 25 with a hyperactive thyroid presenting as Graves Disease after my legs stopped working one night. I was treated with Radioactive Iodine then to kill off the thyroid. For the past 8 or 9 years I have been taking Synthroid, a drug to replace the manufacturing of the hormones the thyroid is supposed to make.

Anyway, I have relapsed. The doctor said it very, very unusual to have a recurrence. I have been scheduled for Radioactive Iodine Treatment on August 3. It will take some time for my thyroid to be killed off again and I will start presenting with hypothyroidism. In October I will take another thyroid test and then be prescribed Synthroid again to try and regulate me. Hopefully, then, I will be feeling better in November or December.

It was 11 years ago

It was 11 years ago when my bride walked down the aisle to Pachelbel's Canon in D. Of course, we were getting married in a Church of Christ that didn't allow instrumental music, so we played a arrangement by Acappella that combines "Jesus, Let us Come to Know You" with the piece of music. I can not hear the song and not be whisked back to that most awesome and glorious day.

Anyway, Erin, my Dove, if we ever decide to do a "renewing of vows" thing (which I don't understand...I need a better word than renew because I will only need to renew if one of us dies...that is what "death til you part" means...but...you understand...I think). Anyway, if we ever decide to do one of those, I want us to find this guy and let him play for you to come down the aisle to.



I have very eclectic music taste. I enjoy everything from classical pieces and the orchestra to hard rock. You can't go wrong when you miss the two. This guy plays as well as any professional rock star.
