No


Being so absent-minded


Had persistent cough that lead to numerous tests which found the thyroid cancer. . . I still had the cough after surgery, but now it seems to be going away.

Total thyroidectomy to remove 3 masses, on May 11, 2009

RA-131 74.4 Mci on June 5th. Side effects included swelling of my throat and neck, headache, nausea and eventually really nasty taste in my mouth. June 12th – full body scan, results were good, and follow up on July 24th with blood work.

Is your car a Model T?

Hi Kathy—
I finally found you! After you left that comment on my last gallery item of my car, I knew you were a car gal too. This is a great pic of you and your husband with your Model T! My husband and I both grew up in the 50’s and 60’s and those are the decades we are most interested in when it comes to cars, but ALL vintage cars are cool! What is your car’s name and year? You asked how my 67 Vette got the name Ramona. Well, I had an Aunt Ramona who 1) had red hair, 2) loved cars, 3) liked to drive really, really fast! When we bought that car, I thought the name was very appropriate. Are you a fan of Barrett-Jackson? I could watch that 24/7! :) I hope you have as much fun cruising in your Ford as we do our Chevrolet! I hope you are doing well. Take care.

Martha
