Hi all,
My sister and I are walking the Camino del Norte, our first camino, starting in early May (it's so soon!!). Two weeks ago she broke both her wrists. The left will definitely be in a cast (either hard or removable) for at least the first three weeks of our journey, if not more; we're hoping the right will be better by the time we leave, but it might require a removable cast for a little while and it will certainly be weaker than normal even after it's free. I'll be able to help her with the backpack and other general problems, but we'd love to know if anyone has had similar experiences on the Camino and what advice you can offer. Are there particular albergues to find or avoid, or parts of the trail to look out for, or camino-specific wrist issues we should keep in mind? I'm sure it will be a wonderful journey for both of us even without fully-functioning wrists, but any thoughts would be much appreciated.
thank you!
