Right now I'm unfortunately planning my hip surgery Camino. I dislocated my hip, shredding my labrum a week after returning home. I was attempting a return to water skiing after not doing it for years since a shoulder dislocation.Have fun planning your next one ;-) Buen Camino de la Vida, SY
Thank youWell done @Penny Kingma! Best wishes and here s hoping you speedy recovery!
Take the info in...use it as preparedness...not dire warnings.
Others have there own opinions and experiences. I decided to look at it this way. Like a book or movie review. Five people could read the same book or sit side by side watching the same movie...and when asked come out with 5 different views or experiences. All people view life differently.
To those of you about to embark on your first....I'm jealous....enjoy.....
Buen Camino
Enjoy, you will have the time of your life.Your feelings...I feel them at this moment! I read/learned so much on this forum and still have 1000 questions. I can't believe that tomorrow is the day I'm leaving!! For my first one. I promise you here and now...I will experience every step! Thanks for all advice people gave me. Now I have to do it.....and I will!

Hello KentPenny, you describe such an awesome experience which I am very happy for you, could you describe what about your experience was so fulfilling and/ or enjoyable?
Beautifully saidI am also here basking in the glow of my own Camino experience just a week since I got home. One question I have been asked by many was if it met my expectations. Honestly, I launched in this adventure by trying to keep my expectations to a minimum so as to experience it as fully as possible. All I can say is that it has gone beyond anything I could have imagined. To experience the Camino through the soles of my feet, instead of through my head, was the best thing I could have done for myself. I learnt so many things about myself and life. I still have a hard time putting words to it.

I don't remember a swimming pool...breakfast was served in a old windowed solarium that fronted the hotel.Hello Penny, I am so happy to read that you completed your Camino. I think we met you at breakfast in a small hotel with a swimming pool in Saint Jean Pied de Port. You were sitting with another peregrina whom you had recently met. Both of you were about to start your Caminos. We had just finished walking the Puy Way and were going to cross the Pyrenees and go to Roncesvalles and then stop.
Penny, I love your expression, positivity and your sharing of memories. I will pray for the best for your recovery. You are blessed with that wonderful husbandView attachment 30208 Just an update on my hip situation. If you all remember I was diagnosed with a significant labrel tear to the L hip from 12 to 8 if you picture the hip joint as a clock. Last Thursday about a month later .....complaining that the R hip had similarities in pain...a second MRI. The results show a tear in the R hip from 1-2 . Not as bad but as I'm relying on that hip ....not good.
Still praying for recovery to return .
