Getting On

I am definitely getting old and getting on years. I have endured an episode of a "Thyroid Storm". I think this happens when the thyroid increases its hormonal output beyond normal. the result is a decrease in weight and dexterity. I have lost about 25 to 30 pounds of weight in three months. I now weigh about 165 lbs. Almost a year ago and several months I had weighed nearly 180 lbs. Since then I have tried to gain back some of it by eating extra protein rich food . Lots of chicken, mostly made at Hooters. I think I know what triggered the event , I had a potent shot of a liqueur , coffee flavoured , labeled from Starbucks. Of course I had some drinks before this .. My usual drink of chioce was grey goose vodka and orange juice. Methinks that my system went into overdrive and that was what started it all.
