Let’s just say it has been a few days of ups and downs with Dale saying, “When do you think we can go back to the trail?” . . . followed by answers from me like . . . “How fast do you think skin grows????” (Internal monolog, “How dumb is this . . . don’t you think you have endured enough this year?”) The reality is if my feet looked like Ben’s I would have been thinking about healing. While healing was on their minds it was for a completely different reason. They were trying to make plans to get back on the trail ASAP!
Ben went to the doctor on June 5th to find out if he needed any medical intervention . . . you may be wondering why didn’t he go sooner . . . refer to the paragraph above . . . ugh! It turns out that the PA said that there “probably” is infection so she prescribed an antibiotic and special cream for his feet. The PA said that it would be safe to return to the trail by Wednesday of next week.
I have to work so I cannot take them back to Egremont, MA until Thursday night, so they are going to wait . . . unless one of you wants to volunteer to take them sooner. If so, you know the number . . . I am sure they will be glad to do anything they can to get out on the trail again as soon as possible.
In the mean time I am going to turn my blogging efforts over to the guys until they get back on the trail. Thanks for reading . . . stay tuned; there will be more adventures to come from the DIE HARD DUO!
