Thanks for all the good wishes. I'm home, exhausted, but feeling pretty
good.

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!
