The loving Tampa VA is some type of hellish construction of suffering and despair. Like goddamn that poo poo is packed every loving day to the goddamn gills with people. I spend more time parking my loving car or using the dumb valet service they have there than I do actually talking to the loving doctor. I drive 40 minutes each way to basically hear "Ok well I'll schedule an appointment with this specialist thanks for showing up!" and away I go.

Thank loving christ I don't have anything actually seriously wrong with me or I'd probably be loving dead

Does the tampa place have a 24/7 emergency room? If so, :rip:

, but if not, you can just hit up any hospital whenever the VA one is unavailable in an emergency and the VA will cover it.

They overnighted me my new meds. They don't normally overnight things to me. I got some liquid for treatment of intestinal ulcers. So either they did find something in the upper GI and just haven't told me or he's just throwing poo poo at a wall to see what works. Both seem pretty plausible to me.

Fart Sandwiches: Apr 4, 2006; i never asked for this

Oh yeah I turned 30 earlier this week. My wife got me a suunto watch, mother in law got me a tool chest for the garage, and parents got me a slick office chair. Being an adult is kinda okay sometimes.

Also big 30. Since I don't plan on living past 50 or 60 can I have a midlife crisis now?

Delizin: Nov 9, 2005; It may not be interracial, but it is black and white.

Didn't see this get mentioned earlier:

Obama signed that VA bill to let us see real doctors on the 7th

The VA has 90 days to get this poo poo implemented, then we should be able to start seeing real doctors at their expense if we live more than 40 miles from a VA clinic/hospital or it will take more than 30 days to get an appointment. Also we are supposed to be getting some kind of "Choice" card. It has been 8 months and I still haven't been able to get a regular VA card, so we'll see how that works out.

Welp, i'm well within 40 miles for either places I go to but at least they're always jam packed full of vets and I can never get a loving appointment earlier than 3 months scheduled.
