CT scan

It's been 6 months and dad is due for a CT scan. This time, 2:15 pm. Quite rare that it's not super early in the morning. However, this presents another problem: parking. The cheap parking lot at UBC fills up very early. So we decided to take Handydart, all 3 of us. Dad is allowed one assistant for free, so it only costs us $5 altogether for a single trip. But then when you look at the $10 for round trip, it no longer looks cheap. Oh well. Should work out to be about the same as parking.

The pickup came early, so we got the scan early. The return trip pickup came late, so we waited in the lobby for 50 minutes. The bus needed to pick up and drop off one lady before taking us home. Dad refused to go to washroom so stubbornly for the last 30 minutes while waiting in the lobby. Of course he was pushing the limit. God knows if he actually wet himself in the bus. He's been stinking like urine since after the scan. That's why we had him wearing a diaper. But he still manage to wet his pants when he went to washroom. As soon as he got home, he got rid of the diaper. Sigh...

There were interesting educational panels on the walls. That mystery of that "radiation" icon is finally solved. It seems to mean "x-ray" specifically.

Too late to go to the bank. Tomorrow then. Dad turn into Gluttony. He's been munching on crackers when waiting for our return ride, yet he ate 3 buns plus a bunch of small stuff after we got home. He kept saying he's hungry, but the amount of food he consumes is too much! Mom ended up giving him early dinner rice at around 5. In return, he was not allow rice at regular dinner time. But... of course, he went hunting for buns again soon after dinner. Sigh... (T_T)

Finally finished unpacking from the house-sitting. Returning the beads to their proper compartments. Took way longer than I thought... Am I slow...?
