Morning, folks.
Off to take my Dad for hearing aids today.
Wait... that was yesterday...
No. Apparently, not so much.
Here's the story.
A month or more ago, we convince my dad he needs a hearing test. He says "What?" We yell "YOU NEED A HEARING TEST!" He replies "I don't need a rest!" But eventually the message gets across. Mom's Dr says Costco does hearing tests and I have a membership, so offer to take care of it. I book the appointment and a month later, he gets tested. His hearing goes from normal in the low (bass) range to "profound" (Which is the lowest score you can get, i.e. deaf) in the high range. The audiologist explains it all to him/us, but dad can't really hear her and when asked what he thinks the results are, he says "About medium".
Mom, presses him over the next couple weeks and he finally relents to getting hearing aids. I tell mom I'll make an appointment, but she tells me that she's already called and we don't need one to pick them up. Okay, so off we go to Costco. We get there and are told we need an appointment (bear in mind, this is a minimum couple hours of my time invested.) We are told that they have an opening on Thursday next week, otherwise it will be another month. I make an appointment for Thursday (today) at 4:45. After I drop the folks off, Mom decides that Thursday doesn't really work well for them, so she calls Costco and manages to change it to Wednesday (yesterday) at 4pm. I rearrange my schedule and just before I leave to pick them up, she calls and tells me that Costco just called and she made a mistake and it's actually for Thursday. But she can't do 4pm, so she changes it to 4:45...
The same time I originally booked.
