My stomach was much worse yesterday – I felt like some oddly shaped balloon animal. Twisted in knots, bloated, and well… gassy. I’m sorry, I was. It was miserable. And no sooner had I… released the gas through… various means, I started to bloat up again. I made a doctor appointment and got in to see them today.<\/p>\n
And it was pretty much inconclusive. I feel a little better, nothing obviously wrong, and no immediate danger.<\/p>\n
Still don’t know if it was something I ate or a flu bug. If I get worse or at least not better, I’m supposed to go back in a week for blood work to rule out a gall bladder problem.<\/p>\n
So, the doctor gave me prescription for pepcid – since my insurance will help out if it’s a prescription. Or something. It was like 2 bucks. But it took about twice as long at the pharmacy to get that than it did to visit the doctor in the first place. And even though I was waiting there – and kept making eye contact with the tech – they still called me on my cell to let me know it was ready. While I was waiting in the lobby. Sigh.<\/p>\n

Finally, some fun news. I was driving somewhere with Jim in the passenger seat as we rolled towards a red light. From the count-down on the crosswalk I could see that it was about to change and I had just enough time. Still rolling, with one hand on the wheel, I raised my other hand towards the stoplight and quickly intoned:<\/p>\n
“In-brightest-day-in-blackest-night-no-evil-shall-escape-my-sight-Let-those-who-worship-evils-might-beware-my-power:”<\/p>\n
(quick breath)<\/p>\n
“Green Lantern’s LIGHT!”<\/p>\n
And the light turned green.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
