Getting up not as early as usual, I started working from home and met another deadline before driving my mom to take a test at the clinic. Doctor, Nurses and Technicians were all very nice and professional, at the end, we were told everything went very well and my mom was pretty healthy. However, after taking the medications for sedation, worsened by her chronicle pains on legs and waist, nurse put her onto the wheelchair to bring her down to the main entrance. I had been interpreter for my parents in the last several visits and we saw Janet who had been my parents' interpreter since my parents started visiting doctors' offices in States two years ago until several months ago her schedules became conflicting with ours. She was very good and nice. We chatted a little bit and she had to go to take care of another patient. She seemed very busy. I might not be as professional as she was, but I knew my parents' situations more, so sometimes I answered the questions directly instead of translating. One thing was interesting that the nurse said the history saying my mom smoking, it's so hilarious because my mom never smoked in her life. Due to my influence in social media, I know some groups must use or discredit me even my family members for their purposes. For example, once upon a time, a group of drug addictors parked beside my van in front of Staples while my son and I were buying school supplies as if they were with us together. I assumed that they used me to promote the images of drug users because then marijuana just became legal in Washington State. However, I never thought medical records could be manipulated as well, it was probably an error or a joke. Recently, I mentioned that I drank beers while watching games during weekends, I might be painted as alcoholic too.
My mom was warned not to cook today because of the earlier sedation, I decided to stop by Papa John's to buy BBQ Chicken & Bacon. Eating it after coming back home, my mom was impressed by its taste. I agreed, actually, I started liking it while I was working in Southern California for Epson America Inc for a short period of time in 2005. My co-workers at Financial Planning bought it at Papa John's regularly for office lunches. The first night when my son moved to States to live with me in 2007, I bought it for him. Combined with too much ice cream, he got very sick that night, then I had to put him into the hospital to recover until early morning. Afterwards, we had almost always bought The Works at Papa John's. Today, my son is at school, so I decided to try this again.
While waiting for the pizza to be ready, I drove the van to pump gas at nearby Shell and grabbed something inside the store. The lady I knew her face asked me if everything was ok, I said I just drove my mom for a test, probably would take the rest of the day off. She said to me it was great. She probably knew me as well and had felt odd how come didn't I work at midday on Tuesday.
My original plan was to drive to the office to work half a day after my mom's test, but since I had worked long hours yesterday, so decided to work from home briefly before calling the day off. It didn't make much sense to drive to the office and drive back during rush hours for just working for another 2 hours.
After working on several issues, I slept to have my cold recovered. With a thick blanket onto the comforter, I felt very warm even a bit hot. Later on, I watched a movie named Mom's Night Out, which was for women but still pretty entertaining.
I went downstairs to eat 3 slices of leftover from the lunch, now I am full before going to bed again.
