12/17 Thursday update, from Joe

[Gay Haldeman]

I went to the doc yesterday and he said he would set me up with  
appointments with various specialists (and indeed two called today).  
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.

Felt low today. Here insert some disgusting medical stuff, so I don't  
have to revisit it.

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.)

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.

Our TV self-destructed last night. Repairman coming tomorrow, but I'm  
not sanguine.
  Looked like the tube blowing out. Very pretty for a few seconds.

Joe

PS from Gay: The car battery died yesterday in the VA Hospital  
parking lot.  Had to get a new one.  Thank heavens for AAA.
