Helping Mom at the Hospital. 4.29

Tweet

My mother and I woke up at 4:00 a.m. and left the house by 4:40, riding our e-bike to the hospital. We were thankful that e-bikes are still allowed on the road. Arriving at 5:10, we were early, as the public hospital staff had instructed us to be there at 5:30. While my mom waited for the security guard to assign her a number, I asked her to take a seat. As she joined the queue, a man preached about the Bible for 30 minutes. The security began calling numbers for people waiting in line at 6:00. When it was my mother's turn, I was allowed to assist her with registration and payment while she sat. The process went smoothly, and my mother appreciated the gentle technique of the nurse collecting her blood sample. Following her urinalysis and blood test, we left the public hospital. My mother, who had fasted, was very hungry. We walked at a nearby eatery for porridge and hard-boiled eggs. After eating, I paid for what we ate and we left. We then went to a private clinic for additional tests that the public hospital does not offer. The nurse there was cheerful, which helped my mother feel at ease during her 2nd blood sample collection for the day. Returning to the parking area, I found my e-bike being blocked by other vehicles. Fortunately, two men kindly helped me remove the blocking vehicles. Before heading home, we made a quick stop at the market to buy some fruits and vegetables. How's your day today?
