Update on Me (if anybody cares) The Dr's office called yesterday and said they'd scheduled an appointment for discussing taking care of my thyroid through radiation. I said OK. Then, the Radiologist called me an hour later and said he wanted to do it over the phone, and give me the radiation treatment today. So I talked with him for quite a while. He says I have Graves disease (updated : I previously said White's disease), and highly recommended the radiation treatment, although there are a couple of other options. After weighing out the options, I've decided to go ahead and do the radiation treatment, because it doesn't completely kill the thyroid. It just severely hurts it. I'll be taking a good dose of Iodine-131 , which has the sideaffect of not being around my unborn baby for a while, which in turn means staying away from Erica. That won't be fun.

Kim and I were out working in the yard this AM,working on our sunburns, and there were lots of kidlets, baskets in hand going to the Easter egg hunt at the school. Made me miss the good old days and wish I had grandkids close. I hear Washington DC had snow on the cherry blossoms this morning, so I would guess that Benjamin didn't get to go to any public Easter Egg hunts. CK, did you get the box?
