- Time of past OR future Camino
- May2018
Hi. We are Hazel, 61,and Ian, 67. I first found out about the Camino 18 months ago on a cooking show. When I called Ian he said he’s not interested in cooking shows. I said you have to see this one! Since then we were hooked. Ian was on the waiting list for hip replacement and I was in consultation for knee replacement. Ian had total hip replacement July 2016 and I had total knee replacement December 2016. Ian had arthritis and a huge cyst which restricted his movements. I had had 6 previous surgeries on my knee since the eighties which included 2 ACL reconstructions, scopes and meniscectomy and severe arthritis. We both knew the Camino was not on the cards at that time. Our plan is to do the Camino starting 3/5/18. Orisson is already booked! Both surgeons have ok’d us for the walk, saying ‘one step at a time. Just be mindful’. We are retired, me retired ish so will be in Europe for 90 days.
Our progress in our training in on #ikandothat. I have photos and videos of my surgery from admission to 3 months including anaesthetic, pain management, exercises etc. which l will post. I will do a blog and vlog when we work but how to do it before we leave. I am happy for any enquiries on my surgery which could be beneficial to others ( I am a clinical nurse specialist in anaesthetics)
I followed this forum for a year and feel like I know people already, from Kanga in Sydney to SYates in Santiago, and many, many more in between. We hope we can meet many on our journey. Look for the woman with a pink bag and knee support and a beautiful man who is extraordinary.
