But even with an appointment, I sat around from eleven till five to talk with a doc for ten minutes. Unusual for our VA, in my experience. Of course the holidays are a factor.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:none; text-autospace:none"><span style="font-size:16.0pt;font-family:BookmanOldStyle">Felt low today. Here insert some disgusting medical stuff, so I don't have to revisit it.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:none; text-autospace:none"><span style="font-size:16.0pt;font-family:BookmanOldStyle">Tired all the time, and weaker than I was in Cincinnati. No serious pain, though, and no nausea, no trouble eating. (A curious phenomenon is that my appetite suddenly switches off after about half a normal meal. Then I can eat again an hour later. Probably due to digestivus interruptis. Cut a foot and a half out of your bowel and the darnedest things happen.)<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:none; text-autospace:none"><span style="font-size:16.0pt;font-family:BookmanOldStyle">Gay and I walked around for a while today and then went to the print shop to get some stuff bound. Then we went over to Brandy and Christina's for a nice spaghetti dinner.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:none; text-autospace:none"><span style="font-size:16.0pt;font-family:BookmanOldStyle">Our TV self-destructed last night.

Looked like the tube blowing out.
