    Alternatives to walking if injured

    Wow! Thanks for sharing your story! Your encouragement came at the right time! Before bed I was telling my family that maybe it's time to come home. Sitting and laying around in this hostel watchihg pilgrims come and go is really difficult. I am in the "boxing ring" with my state of mind, and...

    Thank you for your suggestion, they are so appreciated. Combining a bike and walking is definitely on the list. I am fortunate to be here where it will be flat will let me test my knees.

    Update: Doctors say there isn't any damage or swelling to my knee, just more ibuprofen and another week of rest. I feel more at ease now. Not sure I want to stay at this Hostel for another week.

    Thank you David. You are a blessing. My knee is still the same. Looks like it my be another week or two before signs of improvement. That's OK, just means I have a couple more days to come up with a plan. Thank you for giving me more ideas to think over. Oh, and while living in San Antonio for...

    Alternatives to walking if injured

    A few people have mentioned using a bicycle, would you mind telling me a bit more about the process? Do I keep my backpack with me or arrange luggage transfer? Can I ride with my poncho when it rains or would I need a raincoat? Do Albergues and hostels have a place for the bike for safe...

    Absolutely! I am grateful to David and all of you. I have been picturing these ideas presented to me in my mind. I am really considering the the "mobile care" that would be a good fit for me. Thank you.

    I am hoping that I could at least do as you suggest. Practicing patience and being hopeful that I will be able to shuffle along.

    Alternatives to walking if injured

    These are really great ideas! But may be out side my comfort zone as I am a bit of an introvert. From what I noticed so far of those riding bikes is that I would be walking my bike along. I do realize that the terrain is getting flatter now. I did train as an E.M.T some 40 years ago and I am...

    Alternatives to walking if injured

    Currently I am in Burgos resting up from a knee injury. I am not giving up the possibility of continuing on foot, but in the meantime I would like ideas of options in the event that I can not.
