I need to take my dad to the local hospital for blood tests. I'm a bit anxious about taking him, I asked his GP if someone could come and take his blood at home and I was told it wouldn't be possible, so I asked how safe it would be to go to the hospital and I was given a pretty non-committal response. While I will ensure he's wearing a mask, I have no idea how he's going to be wearing it, I imagine it's going to be me putting it back on him every 10 minutes... Probably best to pack a few as if I'm not paying 100% attention he will probably throw it on the floor. He also has a tendency to touch everything around him, so again it will probably be me putting hand gel on him every few minutes.
We don't drive and would normally use public transport, but I think that would certainly be a no right now. It's a half hour walk so not bad, but a little uphill, so on a hot day I will be knackered pushing the wheel chair. Anyway, yeah... so what do you all think? Have you taken your loved one to a hospital recently? Did you have any issues with face coverings and touching things? Should I push harder about getting a home visit instead right now? Feedback (and hopefully assurance) appreciated.
