On March 26, we scooped Lindsey up from skilled nursing, drove over to say goodbye to Acorn bungalow and get the doggies settled in the car, and then we hit the road. Spokane and the nearby area we are staying in is a 5-hour drive. Bob (my brother-in-law) and I caravaned with me sticking to his bumper like a fiendish tailgater! Lindsey was my navigator and did a great job alerting me whenever Bob used the turn indicator. For the most part, it was a great adventure for Lindsey. He was stout hearted about leaving his home of 17 years and moving to the other side of the state to be near family. Early in the drive, Willow climbed into the front to sit on her Poppy’s lap. This was sweet, for a few minutes and I smiled to hear Lindsey saying, “I love you!” to Willow and petting her; he had missed her so much the 4 months he had been away from home in the hospital and in skilled nursing! But a fidgeting beagle is impossible to manage for someone with the use of only one arm, so a quick pull over, re-install the hound in back and eastward ho! The pass was very rainy, and I stuck like a tick to Bob’s trailer bumper. We lived to tell the tale and continued on to enjoy the sweeping landscape of crops, wind power fields, clouds, and soaring hawks. Lindsey spotted wildlife, rivers and generally reveled in the beauty of nature. He had some discomfort at the last bit of our trek, but after we got him inside My sister greeted us with a delicious homecooked meal which Lindsey enjoyed. This is the next leg of our journey of recovery for Lindsey. He is now in a home setting, and we are getting used to a routine which keeps us very busy all day (more on that later.) We are grateful to Tina and Bob for their heroic efforts on our behalf. We are grateful to our friends on social media and our GoFundMe community for your likes and donations, I am grateful that Lindsey is a survivor, that he is motivated and is willing to do the work to live his best life in the next step of our journey together on the path of recovery.
