DEAR THYROID^TM

THE WINNING ENTRY

“My Image of My Disease”

(thyroid disease)

I wait and wonder as the black hole in my neck sucks the energy from my life. It

takes time and joy away from my children. It steals the last bits of romance from my

already stale marriage. No one really knows what’s deep down in there, no matter

who’s science we use to scan my curious gland. Multiple nodules; some hot and

some cold. They squeeze my throat like an oh so gentle gag. Will it all go away with

surgery or will I have to fight it forever? No one can tell me. I have no answers for

now. It’s only a black hole.

Anna Kyle

THE WINNER IS…. Anna Kyle is my choice to receive the drawing “Thyroid Queen”

– I can see the colors and the moods she is painting. It is an abstract view. A dark, but not

entirely black, abstract picture, with a few bright and gleaming streaks in it; leading

somewhere mysterious, somewhere hopeful, somewhere peaceful.

– Yeah, those are the images I see when I read Anna Kyle’s verbal painting.  I like it very much.

Well done Anna!  Congratulations!
