Mom taking the CT scan as scheduled

After breakfast I went over to Mom's place ahead of time, so I could work on their yard a little bit without letting them know. Kung Kung was taking his sweet time getting ready. I practically had to force him out of the house, because before leaving I wanted to set off the bombing-insecticide in order to kill off all the mosquitoes inside their house.

As expected, we had to wait for a long, long time. First I had to fill out a bunch of forms for registration, then Mom had to take the big bottle of contrast for the CT scan. The procedure itself was not too long and the technician was nice and patient with us. She made me stay to translate for Mom. All Mom had to do was to lie still, breathed in and out as told while she was slided back and forth through the gigantic machcine.

We then enjoyed a quiet lunch of chow-mein and chow-fan at a nearby restaurant. After that, they wanted to go to the Chinese market to get some grocery. We finally got back to their place after 3:00pm. I helped them to open up all the windows to air out the smell of the insecticide. I was happy to return home after all that running around. The hot weather made me especially my eyes feel very tired.
