Down to the doctors about 11 oclock. He showed me x rays. These indicate clearly that my appendix has been seriously inflamed at some time. Its bent in a sort of hook. This may be source of trouble. Will try to cure without surgery. Spent most of the remainder of day searching for presents or Mary and kids next door. Home late and a little tired. Feel pretty good though. In evening made out request for license. Also took Tote out to dance at the Country Club.
