Well many of you long timers may have noticed I have been absent from the board a great deal. The past few months have been hard on Jan and I since I had been sick. Long story short the doctor’s were about 95% sure I had cancer, they were just not sure where in my body it was.
So after being poked, prodded, biopsied, injected, ingested, scanned, well you know the drill. It turns out it was in infection that was causing my problems. After about six weeks on antibiotics I am back to my old self. No cancer, just plain old ornery Jake.
I have Graves’ and life is good. I am working on two books that have nothing to do with Graves’ disease and have an agent and publisher interested in them. I still work a forty hour week. I still maintain the NGDF web site as well as about six others not related to Graves’ disease. I painted the bath room, worked on the pool deck and enclosure, washed the dogs, and pull my own weeds and do my own yard word. Oh, and I also edit books for my publisher and am working on a book on Hydrogen power now for him.
So when you ask is there life after Graves’ disease? You betcha!!! I have Graves’ disease and life is in fact good.
