[DVBC] April Newsletter Available in PDF

[the_andreas at comcast.net]

Hi Bob,
Looks like you are still saddled with the newsletter.  Did no one volunteer?  I am too unreliable to take it on, I know that from experience.  

I continue to have complications with my Graves disease.  I thought the only concern was my thyroid.  Wrong.  I had to rush to Wills Eye hospital last week.  The Graves is now attacking my eyes.  No doctor ever told me about that possibility and i don't see anything about it if i search on the web.  I am told that eye problems are very rare.  Great.  It's rare that a man get's it and even rarer that someone with it has eye problems.  What a lucky guy I am. I am told that I could eventually go blind.  There is really no cure for Graves.  It's an autoimmune disease like Rheumatoid Arthritis.  It can be treated short term with steroids but there is no long term medication.   I am having trouble riding due to the eyes which upsets me no end.  But you know what Bob, I can say that i am thankful that I get to wake up and enjoy this world every day.  Things could always be so much worse.  Right?

We are safekeeping the Video.  Will have to get it to you at Bonkers.  Either that or Marji and I would welcome the opportunity to come over for dinner once again.

Take care and give our regards to Judy.
