Preparing For A New Movie With Matthew McConaughey?

I must apologize for neglecting you this year….

2014 has been ‘interesting!’

In December 2013 my wife and I were deliriously happy after finally overcoming a serious medical problem which has caused me an enormous amount of severe physical pain over the last two years.

Then only a week later I started losing weight…

Lots of it.

Even though I was eating like a horse – I have the nosebag and everything 🙂 I lost a total of 45lbs in 11 short weeks!

NOTHING fits me anymore!

In my 8th January newsletter I joked about ‘Why My Buttocks No Longer Touch Each Other’ and now?

I hardly have any buttocks left!

OK! OK! I know.

Too much information.

Like many people I thought that this was it!

You’re on the way out mate! The first problem was just a test, this is the real challenge.

Born and programmed a Brit I will always try to “carry on regardless” with a stiff upper lip and all that but, having read so much about death (Hey! Everyone should have a hobby), I started to prepare ‘just in case.’

My attorney updated my will (Sp: testamento) and I started joking with friends that they shouldn’t worry, I was simply preparing for a new movie with Matthew McConaughey.

We met with Doctors and settled on Dr. Chih Hao Chen Ku who is amazingly communicative (in English, Spanish and of course Chinese), who confirmed the diagnosis and then put me on his treatment program for hyperthyroidism.

I would like to thank the VIP Members who emailed me in January correctly suggesting that it probably was a thyroid problem and am happy to say that it would appear that I have now stabilized at 139lbs…

Still crazy but ‘stabilized.’

So I am sorry to have neglected you but I am now back in the saddle. (There’s that damned horse again).

PS. A few years back I was truly amazed when I read Dying Well by Dr. Ira Byock and discovered that practically all of my favourite contemporary classical music was considered ideal for dying people to enjoy.

The Tibetan Book of the Living & Dying is another awesome read.
