Hurry hurry, Dr appointment in Duncan

And here I sit, rushed down to this office, filled out the 3 sheets of questions, back and front, ready for the Dr, at 11:30, now it's 12 and still I'm waiting. I'm guessing that's not too bad, considering it took over a year to get this appointment. Knee surgery is what I'm asking for, been a very sore knee for quite a few years now. 

My regular DR said wait till it wakes you up in the night before you start asking for a specialist. Well if I keep waiting, I'm going to be just sitting in a chair 🪑 all day. So I'm asking to see if I can get more mobile again. My walking has suffered the last few years, I can still walk, but often I pay for it when I do. 

A short walk slowly, not too bad, a little more speed, and longer and I'm going to be in pain for awhile, maybe a day or two. 

Oh well, just the way it is is what we all say, but is this how we should accept the system we have in place? I'm not sure that anything can be done, accept maybe become an athlete, too late for that, or a politician, they get good service, or rich so I can pay for the extra service. 

Are there other options? I just don't know it's now 12:10, still no call. I guess I'm just used to my regular DR, as almost always on time. 

Well I've looked at some new planters I can make, Mom on them will be something for Mother's Day, many options for this year. I wonder this year why it is a little slow getting orders for planters? It's just beginning, I'm sure people will be wanting them soon. 

Dinner out tonight with friends, watched a really good hockey 🏒 game with a friend last night, they won! Go Bulldogs! 🎉🎉 Polly went to the casino while I was at the game, Winner! 😁 The way she told me was fun to listen to, love her enthusiasm for the game's. 

Oh, hey there the Dr calling me in, Nice. Dr Popovic orthopedic surgeon, now a bunch more questions, then decision, want surgery or? I'm asking about length of time the pieces last, 25 Year's! Ahh that's great. Then I asked, if I say no now, will I still be able to get back in? No problem she says, just call and the secretary will give ya an appointment, or even a phone appointment if I choose. 

Fantastic, she answered all my questions, that feels good knowing I'm ok to wait till I'm sure I want the surgery. 

Ok now we take off back to Port, next decision, where to have lunch? I say Dog house, Polly says Alice's, so I set the gps, to find out how long, and on our way by, we decided the Hideaway, by Chemainus.  Lunch was good, fish & chips, Polly paid, and off we went home. Another day done almost, except for dinner now. 

Retired and Dr appointment, kinda go together 😂

We were on the road again, for awhile 🤗

Love our life ❤️
