Friday, June 10, 2011 (Fort Camping, Brae Island Regional Park, Fort Langley, BC)

Today was a “wait” day...waiting to hear from the doctor’s office and waiting to hear from Vancouver Axle that the truck is ready to be picked up.  We had our usual slow start to the day and then decided we should get our butts in gear and get our exercises over with.  After showers and breakfast, we sat and resumed our “waiting”.
 

Steve decided to call Vancouver Axle...the truck should be ready between 1:30 and 2:00 but “I’ll call you”....okay, fine.  Then he decided to call the doctor’s office and was told that the doctor wanted to see him for a follow-up appointment.  "Well, we’re in Fort Langley...could I just talk to the doctor over the phone?  That way you could make an appointment with the surgeon and we would only have to make one trip back to Victoria (to have the cyst removed)".  After being quite insistent that Steve needed to come in to see the doctor, she then said that she’d talk to the doctor and call him back.  And we waited...and waited...and did not receive that return call.  Of course, it is Friday...so I guess we won’t hear anything now until Monday.  What a lovely way to spend the weekend...waiting and wondering what’s up.  Is it more than just a cyst? 

We did go out for a walk (thank goodness for cell phones –at least we didn’t have to sit and wait by a land-line)...a good 45 minute power walk down to the Tavistock Point and back.  It was a good release of frustration.  Steve also took his new camera along.  The final bit of the trail to the point is blocked off due to flooding but of course, we had to duck under the tape and take a look... 

At 3:00 we hadn`t heard back from Vancouver Axle so we decided to just drive there.  Just as we parked and got out of the car, the phone rang...it was Vancouver Axle—the truck is ready anytime...okay, we`ll be right there...too funny!  So I left Steve to pay up and get a run-down on what they did and I headed back to the campground. 

We were going to walk up to The Fort Pub to watch the hockey game and since it was also a Friday night, we thought we should try to get there early.  I was expecting Steve to be not be too far behind me but I waited...and waited...he finally arrived about an hour later!  So much for getting to the pub early so we could get a good table.  We got there about 15 minutes before game time and did manage to get a table...and after bit moved to a better table after some people left.  What a great game...far better than the last two in Boston!  The Canucks won 1-0!  Now onto game 6 Monday night in Boston.
