He had just the other day promised to-see another woman. If only you had come sooner he intimated. His attitude was, whoever would have him and first. Somebody-seemed to want him, but by the next-week it was apparent that Somebody-seemed got cold-feet and froze-up. They were unlike anyway. So now he had neither, and was without even an imaginary girl-friend again. He liked to say, 'he had a half-dozen real girl-friends - all married'. There was what might be there, if there wasn't what was already there.
I went to the VA. It was my annual myology. They put me on-watch a couple of years back for enlarged prostate. It was not the guy I expected - my last assigned Doc, but this one was a hot-shot. I gave him the story to include the Chinese medicine. He said my symptoms ? dehydration ! That's what Chinese she said, "You are very dry. Very, very, very dry." So he proscribed for me a medicine, the magic-elixir. It was water. That's what she said, "You have to drink water". And I have-been, or at least trying to. Oh it is hard. I don't like drinking water, not all my life. I am a camel. W. C. Fields : "Water ? Why I haven't had a glass of water since I was eight years old. Never drink water because of the disgusting things that fish do in it." Now I have to be a water baby-bottle carrier. I always hated that.
He explained all my symptoms in terms of a lack of liquid. I explained that since starting the Chinese medicine I have gained five pounds, am sleeping all night every night - the first time in twenty years, and waking-up with p-hard-ons, the first time in twice that. I was getting regular again. Most of my former concerns were all but dissipated.
