MILESTONES, Page 89
RECOVERING. Barbara Bush, 63; after treatment of a thyroid
condition known as Graves' disease. The First Lady, who has been
suffering from eye irritation and has lost 21 lbs. during the past
twelve weeks, was given a solution of radioactive iodine to destroy
her overactive thyroid gland. Her doctors have warned Mrs. Bush not
to hug her grandchildren or her dog Millie's new puppies for a few
days, as young creatures are especially sensitive to radiation.
Returning from Walter Reed Medical Center to a White House
reception honoring Queen Silvia of Sweden, she declared, "I feel
wonderful. I could Indian-wrestle any one of you."
