FChristopher1, thank you for your post. I will make a wee note to think of you on 4th, and well done for hanging on to your positive attitude. I do not doubt that your angels know how grateful you are for their help when you needed them. All the best for a total healing.Hey, everyone. I hope this finds you well.
Back on 11 or 12 July, you may have read of my Camino drama. Long story short, during a thunderstorm in the hills above Ponferrada, I experienced a really awful fall. Four pilgrims helped me down. The pilgrims who helped me were Vincent, Vincent's wife [I'm so sorry I never got her name!], Jose, and Roseanne.
My ACL was completely ripped away by the fall. I tore a meniscus and bruised the bones with bleeding. Fun!
Surgery takes place on 4 September.
My doctors tell me that I should recovery completely in six to twelve months. I plan on returning to finish the Camino in a year or so because, well … this is what we do.
Lessons learned:
Always, always, always get the contact information for those who help you out in any way or when you are most in need! I have no way at all of thanking Vincent, his wife, Jose, or Roseanne and I am so sorry about that. They are amazing people. From my heart, I thank them every day for helping me.
Be very careful and vigilant. I had walked the Camino before and was not worried about my progress. Yet in a second, all things changed. Be respectful of the path, its challenges, and what it takes to walk along The Way!
Finally, share what you have learned. While I'm saddened by my surgery, many comments from others who have had similar experiences have helped. Similarly, many comments from other peregrinos/peregrinas about preparation have equally helped.
Rambling done and thank you for reading this!
¡Buen Camino!
This is the bottom line everywhere but mostly we just don't want to think about it. You know it and can live from that place, which is not a bad thing at all...Yet in a second, all things changed.

Last September, just three days into our Camino my husband fell and fractured his ankle on both sides. We spent seven weeks in Pamplona following surgery and the commencement of rehab.
We are about to start our Camino again in 13 September and looking forward to it. Despite having a fair amount of metal in his foot and and limping for the first few steps when he stops for a while, he is determined to go back and have another go.
Stay positive and you too will return to complete your Camino.
