Wow.  Interesting.  I had cataracts when I was 37.   This was three years 
prior to my thyroidectomy (hot and cold nodules and my brother had had 
thyroid cancer at 25 so I said "take it out!") and after that, three months 
later total hysterectomy due to 15 years of increasingly impossible fibroid 
tumors and all that that entailed.  I have considered myself lucky that 
everything that has gone wrong has been somewhat "replaceable".  My mother 
was hypo all of her life, her periods just stopped at age 30.  Cataracts at 
age 60.  Again, interesting.

Now, after one year with Doc Don, I feel better at 50 than I did at 25 if 
somewhat less physically athletic...and I can live with that just to be able 
to stay awake and think again!
