Kidneys, blood, back

The male nurse didn't show up. He's supposed to come bath dad today. But it's also the first day of the bath assistance extension. Maybe the paper work didn't get done in time or something...

Took dad to his kidneys ultrasound appointment at VGH. I'm super surprised that it took less than half an hour. (Yay! Only $3 for parking! An hour is $6! Don't know about other people, but 6 bucks can buy me a good-size meal!)

Then we dropped off a copy of that document to our family doctor which we forgot to bring after dad's hospital discharge. Thought it's time to get his blood test for the urologist as well. The Lifelab at Chinatown does not reimburse parking. It's a separate entity from the ultrasound and x-ray lab sharing the same unit, which reimburse half to one hour parking depending on your test duration. Grrr... Luckily, despite the long wait, parking only cost $2.

Picked up A's coffee beans, then we all went to my chiropractor's appointment. I was half an hour early while he was a bit behind. It's his second day back to work after Christmas and new year holiday. Waiting was anticipated, though. Not a problem. Sure beats dropping off mom and dad home and then come out again.
