As I had mentioned, we would love to get together with all of you. We (meaning Susan ) have picked next Wednesday the 22nd at Capitol City Brewery at 6PM....let us know if that is OK with you guys...the more the merrier, including spouses and big helmets!

#24793 of 31413 Just for 'fun', I borrowed a Gieger Counter from work... by fibber2 Jun 11, 2005 (8:36 pm)
and met Beth for lunch on Friday. I wasn't expecting to get much response, but got quite a surprise. I pegged it on the highest scale from 6 feet away (60,000 cpm / 50mR/h). Now I am way out of my league here in terms of interpreting this, having not renewed my X-ray workers certification in quite a few years. We have two systems in the lab, and are required to do a leakage survey periodically (hence the counters). The receiving tube is tuned for X-rays, so it may not be quite accurate for beta particles. But it turns out that I-131 is a Gamma emitter as well as beta, and Gamma is just a fancy term for X-ray, so the counts bear some relationship to reality. That being the case, she is still something like 50x above the standard industry radiation alert level (according to one reference). You know, the point where they grab you, drag you to the showers, and scrub you down with a wire brush...... Waving the wand around the car, I was able to verify that Beth does indeed use her seat belt, and holds the wheel at the 10 and 2 o'clock position!!! Scary, no?? Steve
#24794 of 31413 Does she glow in the dark? by grahampeters Jun 11, 2005 (8:46 pm)
G'day Glad to hear that Beth is out and hope the thyroid treatment goes okay. Its obligatory to take the mickey out of your wife on such occassions. Judy tore a cartilage some years ago, disco dancing with our three year old son. Now she has torn it again, racing the dog through the house. I restrained myself from laughing too hard but the doctor counldn't. Cheers Graham Replies to this message: fibber2 (Jun 12, 2005 6:40 pm) jfl (Jun 12, 2005 10:07 pm) bat1161 (Jun 14, 2005 6:02 am)

Replying to: fibber2 (Jun 11, 2005 8:15 pm) and of all the people to respond to that particular 'pity party' is the one dealing with much more than I am at this point! a quick recap .. first time to hospital mom had fluid in her chest cavity pressing lung up causing difficulty in breathing ... drained fluid, performed numerous tests and found ... 'nothing' ... possibly a virus ... next trip to hosp .. more fluid on both sides of the chest cavity and a very rapid and not so stable heartbeat .. more tests .. more draining ... possibly a virus (still) or an auto-immune disorder ... this trip to hospital .. no fluid in chest, but very rapid heartbeat (at 160 per min or so) and was put in cardiac care unit - basically cardiac intensive care .. as of last night her heartbeat was stabilized and they had put her in a 'regular' room .. it is likely that we will have to make the trip to houston in the near future ...
