Hurry up and WAIT!!

Ron had his scans last Wednesday, August 4. We are still waiting to hear from the doc for the results. Rather than wait around and be totally frustrated, we packed up the car and took a little trip to the lovely communities of Glenwood, WA and Trout Lake, WA. (Both towns are in the shadow of Mt. Adams.) Seems a bit random but really, we had a purpose. Our son Drew is working for the Forest Service in Trout Lake for the summer. We really went to see him! Ron's brother Wes and his wife Jane drove up from Portland. We stayed in a quaint log cabin surrounded by forests and streams and mostly friendly critters. It was lovely to have the peace and quiet of nature and NO television, Internet, or cell phone service. As a bonus we all drove to Hood River Saturday evening for a lovely dinner. Drew doesn't seem to have enough to keep him busy so he also works at a wonderful restaurant on the weekends. Fortunately, he wasn't working so we all enjoyed incredibly amazing food prepared by Drew's friend and the chef, Nathan.  (The restaurant is Nora's Table... check it out if you are ever in Hood River!)  http://www.norastable.com/

Now that we are back in Spokane, we are once again in wait-mode. Ron called his doc's office today but wasn't able to actually talk to anyone. When they finally called him back they told him the only one who can discuss the results of his tests is his doctor. Hurry up and wait some more.

We are planning for the surgery to be August 17.... one of us will update the blog when we get the results from the scans. Thank you for your thoughts and prayers.

*Ron took many pictures of Mt. Adams and the area. Hopefully he will have time to post some of them here.... while he's waiting!
