the_rckOh, dear. I knew Scott had double payed my Discover card bill, but apparently he actually triple payed— My account balance shows an overpayment of about $1200. No wonder Scott thought we were desperately broke this month. I think that the third payment might actually be a problem with our bank. I can’t imagine Scott would have set up payments for both June 4th and June 7th. At this point, I’m worried that the second payment should have gone to Scott’s Discover card or to the Visa we share.
The gastroenterologist recommended daily Benefiber. She gave me a handout on the low FODMAP stuff, but she noted that what helps/doesn’t help is pretty idiosyncratic. Some people only actually need to cut out one or two foods.
She ordered blood tests— iron and B12 which haven’t been checked any time recently. The clinic that does the blood drawing was just down the hall, on the same floor, so I took care of it today. There was a little confusion over what was to be done because my primary care doctor’s orders for blood tests were in the system, too. We ended up agreeing that they would just do the tests ordered today. I don’t see a point in doing the A1c test so soon after the last one, and I wasn’t fasting so we couldn’t do the blood glucose test. The TSH test isn’t scheduled yet, so they weren’t looking at that. I’m not sure what else my primary care doctor had in mind, but we ended up deciding to leave all of that for July when I do the TSH and fasting blood glucose.
The gastroenterologist was an hour and a half late. There’s no cell phone reception in that part of the building, so I couldn’t text Cordelia to let her know. I emailed her, but I rather suspect that she still hasn’t seen the message. (The doctor puts down the lack of cell phone reception in the building to the presence of the helipad on the roof. I had been assuming it was the age of the building combined with whatever they’ve got in the walls to keep various instruments and scanner and such from interfering with each other.)

I normally spend between $150 and $300 a month on that card, so it's not money we'd be spending this month anyway. I may have to go grocery shopping with Scott in order to put that stuff on my card.
