Got to St Jean PdP 23-aug14. Made it to stage 5 (Puerta la Reina). Lost vision in my L eye (retinal detachment). Had to leave alberque by late night taxi back to Pamplona Virgin Hospital for emergency eye surgery. With gas bubble in eye, husband & I must stay here for 3-4 wks while I heal.. Hoping to bus/train to Sarria and walk into Santiago. Luckily our flight home out of Madrid is 20-Oct-14. Crazy, I know!!! -> Silver lining: Free surgery
Also, does anyone know what to do with damaged knees? When descending the "hill of forgiveness" (using 2 poles) both my knees started aching.. Like they we're hit with a baseball bat. Been resting at hotel and trying not to walk much. Any advise is welcome.
