medicines have me pretty stable

Jeez, that puts you in a minority of one around here. Hope that
"stability" thing isn't catching . . .

See you at Penns but just don't drink any of the crap that LaCourse
has, I hear it's pretty terrible, especially the ice wine. Just
pretend you appreciate it, leave it corked, well chilled -- around 8C
is good, and I'll take it off your hands in May. No need to offend
the old goat-lover.

Bottom line is that I have Graves' disease (autoimmune disorder of the
thyroid) and my thyroid output was 15x normal. The huge amount of T3
hormone put my heart into atrial flutter - which is *very bad*. The
heart
and anti-thyroid medicines have me pretty stable - I'm not going to be
running any marathonsg, but can handle normal activity. I should be
able
to get past this in a couple of months.

Partially snipped cuz I am so overjoyed to hear that things are better for
you.

Stan, doesn't Barbara Bush have the same ailment? Now I'm starting to see
the truth -- you be a republican under them,
oh-so-innocent-and-cute-eyelashes after all G

Now a piece of serious advice -- Stay on top of this thing, cuz like a lot
of chronic ****, we sometimes let it slip if'n we ain't experiencing
symptoms.

That heart thing running amok is some scary crap, no doubt!

That's good news. I have a cat with thyroid problems; all you need is for
someone to pin you down a couple of times a day and force medicine down your
throat and you'll be fine. g

It seems that Stan's thyroid got overly excited about the impending
holidays and ran amok, causing his big heart to pitter-pat at a
ridiculously high rate. This landed him in the hospital, where he's been
treated (or mistreated) since last Wednesday. I just spoke to him on the
phone, and he's hopeful he'll be back home by the end of the week. So it's
time for that fine roffian tradition of ultra-camaraderie and sending of
good thoughts, vibrations, prayers, and whatever else floats your boat.

I, for one, am ****ed that I bought a nice bottle of ruby port to create
the pre-Christmas toast, and my port-drinking buddy is unable to share.
:( That's gratitude for ya. Oh well, there's always the pre-New Years
toast.

Seriously, Stan, get well soon.
