Pothole in the road to Montreal/New York City

Some good news…and some not so good news.
The first day of the B.C. leg of the JTFW was absolutely incredible! The first day of the Alberta leg; not so much.
On Friday, June 25, after 37 kilometres (from the B.C./Alberta border to Castle junction), I had to take a break…and we went to Mineral Springs Hospital in Banff. The problem: Either an infection (in my lower right leg) or a blood clot. Until more test results come back, I’m being treated (an IV every 12 hours, etc.) for both…although the nurses are all betting on the generally-less-severe ‘infection’ diagnosis.
Fear not, though: The JTFW will be “up and running” (pardon the pun) within a few days!
Again, a huge thank you to each and every one of you for your absolutely amazing and inspirational support.
More updates soon.

Errol
Sorry to hear that Errol. Be sure to take time to heal and get the medical OK before proceeding. Is the potential infection related to your blisters?
You’ve gone a long way (baby). All the way to Alberta. Wow!! You’re doing an amazing thing. Take care of yourself.
