I'm relieved that the esophagitis was found with an endoscopy. I hadn't heard that he was having one and was a bit concerned that his colonoscopy had been a little more thorough than most.

I always marveled at how he coped with the stress of 911 I can only deduce with him that either what in most people would induce stress does not or his heart condition it very much genetic and not stress induced.

Does not look much wrong with him to me either. When you read through the media spin of the article I am certain most 64 year olds if they had as thorough exam as a Vice President or a President must have would get similar or if not worse report, especially when you consider his medical history.

One suggestion is that the acid problem is caused by medication, I symphasthise here as my father has recently been hospitalized (out now) and they discovered 2 of his medication were not doing his liver any good. So again it proves what is good for one thing is bad for another.

I like the way that the VP walked briskly to car I bet that was a sign to the media that you are not getting rid of me that easily.

Turns out it is a mild case of Acid Reflux. My sister has acid reflux - while uncomfortable it is not life threatening if you take medicine for it. I think he looks terrific - he has lost weight and exercises. I also heard that he has some swollen arteries in his knees. Maybe from working out.

I believe he has had knee trouble for many years, I remember an interview by a skiing magazine a few years back in which he said that he had to curtail skiing to messing about with the grandchildren because of knee trouble and generally getting older.

This may well be connected.
