the_rckI saw my gastroenterologist yesterday. I see her once a year to check in and get renewals for the prescriptions for handling the reflux. I took the bus both ways, and even climbed the hill on the way home rather than going downtown to transfer and avoid that. I walked around a little once I got to Taubman. There are a lot of Ingress portals there, and I had half an hour.
Well, I thought I only had half an hour. I went upstairs to the waiting room fifteen minutes before the time they'd told me, and the receptionist I talked to told me that they just schedule everybody for fifteen minutes early so that they arrive in time to fill out the paperwork. That meant I was fully half an hour early. The paperwork took five minutes.
Then the doctor wasn't available until forty minutes after my appointment time. I got home about twenty minutes after Cordelia did which was a good bit later than I'd hoped.
I didn't crash as badly yesterday as I had on other days. I was surprised because I had a big meal before I left home at noon and didn't have eat again until well after 3:00. I was still feeling full at 5:00 when I needed to get myself dinner.
The gastroenterologist really didn't believe me when I said that things I eat at 2 p.m. can still be causing me reflux at 10 p.m. She says that things simply don't stay in the stomach that long. Well, I know my body, and that's what happens. Things take a very, very, very long time to move on.
The next thing on my to-do list is to clear the dining room table. I'm hoping to have a write-in this afternoon. I say 'hoping to' because the last time we tried, both other people had last minute disasters. I guess we'll see.
I want to work on editing my stuff during the write-in and maybe to try to get back to a beta read that I was in the middle of when I got hospitalized in April. I haven't talked to the author, so they may have gone on without me, but I need to ask and to get myself in gear to finish if they still need me. I had done a first pass with comments but hadn't responded to their questions or looked at their edits. I feel bad about this, but the last two months have been kind of terrible for my ability to think.
