No Camino for me now🥲🥲

[Herbst]

Sadly 3 days before I was to leave, I fell and broke three bones in my left hand and required emergency surgery.
So, everyone walking, pls walk for me.

I am very sorry that you have suffered an injury. Wishing you a speedy healing. The Camino will wait for you.

 

[trecile]

I'm so sorry that happened to you.
Hoping that you heal quickly and that you're right handed!

 

[lovingkindness]

Flowers for you, @Herbst

 

[Sue127]

Your time will come. I'm waiting for mine, having had to postpone the Portuguese twice. Wishing you a speedy recovery. Keep thinking positively

 

[Lindsay53]

The Camino will be there when you are ready Herbst. Good luck!

So sorry to hear!
I can totally relate and must say: "Welcome to this year's club of not-walkers!" Almost same thing happened to me last month. I went to the emergency room just before my flight and hence missed it! Not fingers, but the cause does not really matter, as something planned for a long time in the end could not happen.
I know how you feel. But do you have a chance to do it next year instead? Then you could put your energy now in the new planning to compensate the frustration a bit. This is what I am doing now ...

 

[MesaWalker]

My heart goes out to you.

I'm in a similar spot where a planned Camino next Spring will need to be postponed. I'm trying (and I hope you can too) to use my future Camino as motivation to get through the healing, work the rehab, etc. and get back to long walking shape.

All the best to you.

Sorry to hear this. Hope you have a speedy recovery.

Wow! A bummer!
I’m really sorry to hear about this. Something you anticipate and prepare for such a long time suddenly goes south. As others have said, the Camino will be there waiting for you. How sweet that Camino will be!

Did much the same in 2020...had urgent surgery on my birthday ;p. I hated jars for about 3-4 months.

Get good therapy, and before you know it, you'll be taking that first step.

I do wish you a speedy and successful recovery and think of how disappointed you must feel. Maybe it will be a better experience when you finally do it. Everything for a reason and God works in ways that we more often than not do not understand. Easy for me to say when you have the pain of your hand. It was best for this to happen before you left home rather than on The Way. But a BIG Bien Camino when you finally hit that track.

Wishing you a full recovery. Whilst very disappointing for you and painful (literally) the Camino will be waiting for you. Hugs

Speedy recover @Herbst .
And may your Camino when it happens, be even more amazing to compensate for the wait.......

I am sorry to hear Jan. Best wishes in your recovery. Hoping for a Camino in your future. Take care.

Ouch! So sorry this happened. Know that the Camino will be waiting for you when you have healed.
Best wishes for a speedy recovery and good health through your waiting period.
Buen Camino.

Gutted for you. Sending best wishes for a speedy recovery.

I was scheduled to be approaching Leon about now, but my wife’s back went out and no way I would leave her alone. Hopefully one of the recommended procedures will work for her and I can reschedule for late March.

Hope she recovers soon and you can re-load and get on the road to Santiago. Bonne chance and buen camino.
