I just got back yesterday evening from a five day stint at the VAMC, Long Beach. I was driven there by pneumonia, a bilateral ear infection, with the right draining yellow pus, and a nasty insect bite.

Happily, I’m doing much better now, but full recovery won’t be for some time. Hopefully, my ears will be healed about the time as the bruises from injections in my forearms. I could go further, and likely will later. But the FUBAR nature of this place is all typified by the fact that they even managed to lose my V.A. ID card! Sheeeze.
