Vena Cava Cha Cha Cha (R)

You know the way the health of the pre-deceased is often described by a friend or loved one on the news ("He'd been saying that he wasn't feeling very well all day yesterday...")? That's how I've been feeling.

It's a sort of thrumpy, cored-out, gastrocardio-melange of retiring-and-disintegrating-cell-wall feeling, mostly located in the vena cava. I'm interested in hearing from any of my more knowledgeable readers

who may or may not be associated with the medical community, real or imagined, whether or not my symptoms are caused by an overabundance and/or lack of fiber or otherwise.

And just in case, you should probably practice your on-camera demeanor for the inevitable news byte.
