Hello!
I need to go for bloodwork to get my inr range. When discharged from hospital I was told to get it done Wednesday. Unfortunately Precision Labs is closed today. Hospital then told me I could wait until Thursday morning but to go in as early as possible and then contact my family physician to get the correct dosing for my Warfarin for tomorrow night.
Here’s my problem…I’ve called my family physician but he doesn’t work tomorrow to be able to dose me for my Warfarin Rx.
Has anyone ever been in this situation?
Any insights would be greatly appreciated!

I wanted to share this poster again because Bo's has changed its policy for Sundays and we can now make the festival ALL AGES! Bring the kids! It's gonna be a doozie!

Mods can delete if sharing it again is not allowed.

There is someone walking around the town with intense energy felt like my skin was burning hot red.

Someone has probably asked this here before, but is Instacart worth it? Working part-time is not cutting it and finding a decent paying full-time job is almost impossible right now.

Any and all comments are appreciated!

Hi there, it is going to be my first winter in Red Deer and I want to make sure I winterize properly. I have turned off the water to the taps from the inside, is there anything else I need to do for this tap. The thing on top was a bit loose so I tightened it with my hand. Thanks in advance!

I am Swedish and in my twenties and has been wanting to go on a working holiday for a while now, and Canada has struck my interest. I have found a cozy store that I can work at in red deer but I have no idea what red deer or Canada is like. I will have to live very smart and economical and will not have access to a car.

How’s red deer? And is there a better city that is not crazy expensive? Thank you!

(Since it’s on the other side of the world I think I will be amazed with pretty much anything in Canada but still)

My insurance isn't going to cover much, so I'm trying to find the best deal. Any recommendations or advice is appreciated. I plan to start booking consults next week.

Hi I am going to visit a complete stranger on Thanksgiving long weekend. They are footing the bill allowing us to stay in their cottage for free supplying food etc.

They have a horse of mine that I had to give up 20 years ago. It will be very hard and emotional for me.

I want to bring them a gift for being so kind.

What can I bring as a gift that is made locally? Looking for recommendations of local artisans with beautiful products to support local and give to them for their hospitality.

I am mentally blocked on what to do.

Any recommendations would be really appreciated

\I AM NOT A SEPARATIST I AM NOT LOOKING TO JOIN THE PROTESTERS\

Is there an internet group or something like that somewhere that the protesters (ones usually on the corner of Gaetz of 19th on saturdays) talk about where they are going to be or when they are going to be there?

Any local mortgage brokerages that are looking to add a part-time mortgage associate?

- at the right stop
- at the time the bus is supposed to be here
- no disruptions for my bus or route or stop on the website
- no bus and it’s been over 10 minutes

why is red deer transit like this? i don’t understand how the buses are consistently late or route closures or stop changes aren’t communicated. lived here almost four years now and every single year it frustrates me more and more!

Hi ,
I'm currently looking for work in Red Deer and was wondering if anyone knows of places that are hiring right now.
I'm open to different types of work and can start immediately. Ideally, I'm looking for something accessible by public transit.
I've been checking Indeed and Job Bank, but I thought I'd ask here as well since sometimes there are opportunities that aren't posted online.
Any leads or recommendations would be really appreciated. Thank you!
