I’m once again waiting to get my weekly blood work done at @lifelabslp. I should have done this on Tuesday, but neglected to get on it. Yesterday one of the nurses grilled me as to why I hadn’t done it yet, and I didn’t really have a reason other than being so exhausted everyday. I did make appointments for the next four Tuesday mornings, so provided I don’t sleep in on those days, there won’t be much of a wait for this again. Right now, I’ve been here for about half an hour, and the estimated wait time that’s displayed on the flat television screen hanging on the wall says ninety-one minutes. So, who knows.
I want to sleep, but I have so much work to do. My foot is still throbbing. I didn’t take any pain meds as I didn’t want to end up more sleepy than I already am. When I’m done here, I have to go to group therapy from 1-4pm at Peace Arch Hospital, then I have my antibiotics IV therapy. I told Mum I’d wipe out the oven and put the racks back in it tonight. She ran a self clean on it a few days ago, but the arthritis in her hand and back make it difficult to wipe it down and reinstall the racks. It shouldn’t take too long, and having it back together means I could do some baking soon: organic baking, using whole grains and stevia, so we can have some snacks that are slightly healthier than what one can get in the real world. And cheaper too.
I’m hoping I have enough time after bloodwork to get a sandwich from @everbeancafe. I’m thinking egg salad, fully loaded with veggies. Maybe a fresh yogurt too. And tea. But with the lineup, that may not be doable. I may have to just get tea.
I also want to leave enough time to park a block or two away from Peace Arch Hospital, so I won’t have to pay for parking as I can’t really afford another $10-12 or more to park for five hours. @cityofwhiterock needs to rethink things: our hospital isn’t on a bus route, so you shouldn’t get people using it as a park and ride. When you have to go daily for treatments 60-120 days in a row, the $3-6 a day adds up. And it’s even more on the therapy days, like today. Bleh.
