Yes, folks, I'm here.
OK, here's the rest of the news.
Mr. Adrienne went thru a few marathons of testing - the docs backed off the Graves disease diagnosis, and now the final verdict is ocular myasthenia gravis. (In short, the muscles in his eyes are not responding to nerve impulses.) The treatment is some simple oral meds. He'll need some monitoring for a while (read: we're staying in Houston, period) but the condition is NOT life-threatening, and with appropriate care, it may not be really life-altering either.
This Thanksgiving, you best believe I'm going to be praising whoever will listen that the situation is not worse. He's going to get back to his marathon training and make sure everything in life gets back to normal.
Mr. Adrienne also put his size-11 foot in my tail end regarding AI as well. He's been my biggest cheerleader and the shoulder I cried on when things crashed and burned. So w/ some time passing, I'm thinking of getting back in the PNAM saddle again.
But regardless, of what has happened this past year....I *want* this--I want to make a significant contribution to Greek life in general, and a GLO chapter in particular.
So we'll see where things go......
