This will be a quick report on our trip to San Diego today. We left here at 11:30 and quickly drove to the Vandever Kaiser Clinic. We were early for the appointment, so we went to Carl's Jr. and had some lunch while we waited. Then we went to check in with the proper department, and there the woman at the desk said she had been trying all morning to call us to cancel the appointment. Well, after some 15 minutes or so of discussion, she was able to set me up with an afternoon appointment at the other San Diego clinic, on Zion street. So we went over there, and waited another hour, and finally got to see a doctor. This doctor, another woman, and her assistant set up the surgery to get a biopsy from an artery in front of my right ear. The doctor said the artery was dead. Later I saw a bunch of rubbuge with some blood on it. Maybe that was just from the inch-long cut in front of my ear. Anyway the surgery was soon over and we came back to the apartment.
