Have you ever heard the saying "If you want to hear God laugh, tell him your plans"? Well, God must be ROTFL (rolling on the floor laughing) these days.
Our usual plans for Fall involve getting ready and leaving for the trapline, usually in the first part of October. Things were going as we had planned...we had spent a couple of weeks visiting with our grown kids, grandkids and my folks on Vancouver Island, and returned home to the Little Shack the day before Trapper had an appointment for a colonoscopy in Kelowna. After that we would be spending a week getting the house and property ready to be left for the winter and packing to head to the trapline. This is the part where God laughed.
Trapper's colonoscopy started out pretty routine. They found 3 polyps, removed them, and sent him on his way. I picked him up after they told him to 'walk off' the pain he was experiencing. It wasn't long before he knew there was something wrong.
