Our second week saw Ngaire, my partner in crime, come to grief. She had developed blisters earlier and tried to manage them but they got to a point of no walking after just arriving in Najera. Medical treatment next morning and advised minimum of 2 days off. We knew that was optimistic. We were due in Burgos weeks end with a rest day so decided to follow our schedule best we could by bus, arriving in Burgos Thursday a day early. Organised extra night at our digs for a 2 day stay, 5 days off all up from Najera. The blisters were healing well but as Ngaire had been compensating her gait walking, ended up with a planter right foot and very sore left ACL.
Got appointment Friday with physio in Burgos. Full hour treatment, heavy massage and anti swelling machine session with a very competent young female physio, 43e and a Camino saving outcome. Left this morning(Sunday) arriving in Hornillos del Camino 6 hrs later with 4 good breaks and minor soreness treated with ice and exercises. All good. Lesson. Allow for swelling in footwear size, especially in heat. Foot wear changed accordingly via shoe stall at local Najera Market. The Camino provides.
