A Brief Hiatus

Yesterday, I said goodbye to Leo and hit the road, bound for my home state of Indiana. From there, my dad and I are headed to Canada for a 5 day camping/canoe trip in the back country of Superior Provincial Park.

Who is going to feed me cookies, Mom?!

Initially I was pretty stressed about leaving Leo behind, as he is still at a slight risk for a joint infection, and I typically do not have access to cell phone service while on this particular trip. I was worried that the minute I turned my phone off for the week that something would go terribly wrong.

Thankfully, a call to Verizon led to a change in my plan that gave me unlimited data, international service, and reduced my monthly phone bill. Although my phone will be off the majority of the time, I can now plan to check it at least once a day to make sure that nothing has gone wrong.

Leo has a great team taking care of him while I'm away, and Trainer K and I had a very candid conversation about what to do in case something does come up. I know that he is in the best possible hands, and I feel so much better about the situation now that I will be able to stay somewhat informed.
