Cassi Creek: Sleep
seems to have left the building; or at least that space which I fill. Another in a series of broken nights caused
by q change in medication.
I had to be
up and moving by 0530 this morning. So I
woke up at 0230 and managed only about an hour’s sleep before the alarm
demanded my attention.
The purpose
for rising early was a dermatology appointment at the VA Mountain Home
facility. It was raining when I took
Loki out this morning at 0630. It rained
on me all the way into town. I was
running close to the appointment time when I pulled into the feeder street for
Mountain Home.
Smack in the road
was a railroad repair crew. The tracks
were closed, the access to VA was closed, and I still had to engage in the
parking lot dance. My GPS was waiting
patiently at home. I attempted two quick
and dirty efforts to cross the tracks that were thwarted, running the clock
down some more. Ten I drove about two
miles north and cut through the JC Med Center’s campus to get into VA by the
back door, at the opposite end of the VA campus.
Fortunately,
I found a parking spot quickly, hoofed it into the hospital complex, and made
it with 4 minutes to spare. Then the
clerk at the cheek-in desk pointed me to the other end of the hospital. Right time and date, wrong clinic.
The suspect
mole that initiated today’s trip was declared an atypical nevus, of little
interest and no concern. Good
outcome. But I have a somewhat speckled
skin with other atypical nevi and even more typical moles. Therefore, I have added another semi-annual
exam to my VA experience.
No film at any hour.
