Before I hipple the thread with song reactions, I'm going to use this post to mention a few things that have nothing to do with them, because I feel like I can always share the most random stuff with you guys.
The dream origin mentioned in the Let It Be writeup reminded me that last night I had the weirdest dream I had in a while. I was walking outside with a group of people that included Frank Zappa. I asked Frank if I could have his autograph. He said he does not give autographs, but he would pick up a rock and give it to me, and if anyone asked me to prove that I had met him, I could run a fingerprint test on the rock.
Today we learned that our 14-year-old black cat has hyperthyroidism. She got a blood test when she went in for her annual shots last week because she had lost 2 pounds in the past year. Treatment is necessary because otherwise she will continue to lose weight to the point where it will endanger her organs. The vet said we have 2 options. One is radiation treatment, which will cost about $2000 plus whatever pre-testing needs to be done, and would require her to be at a facility for 3 days in Delaware, but would likely cure the problem (it's rare that it works "too well" and causes hypothyroidism in cats). The other is medication, either oral or topical, which would be for life, and would require her to have blood tests every 6 months, and can have side effects. We don't yet know what to do. My wife has been talking to a friend of hers who had a cat with hyperthyroidism, and she said she would have done the radiation if her cat had been a candidate for it; the medication caused problems for him, but he had other conditions by the time he was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism, and ours does not -- this is the first major health issue she has ever had.
It’s still one of my tip-toppiest, though, with the introductory piano part pulling in as strongly as ever.
