Time of past OR future Camino
2013
Was supposed to fly to Spain one week tomorrow to start from Ferrol on Tuesday 13 September, now I'm laid low by recurrence of diverticulitis after a twenty year break! Ho Hum can't go this year but it'll be there another year so I'll try again another time. Good Luck to anyone else doing the Inglés then, sorry to miss you.

I'm sorry to hear that Sixwheeler I hope you get over it soon I hate the antibiotics that are necessary. Before my last camino I suffered diverticulitis twice then a ruptured bowel and surgery. I was so thankful it didn't happen when I was walking. I hope that doesn't happen to you. Take care of yourself so you can be healthy and enjoy your camino when the time is right.

Sorry to hear that my friend, I was supposed to be walking my Camino with my father this year, starting on Wednesday, but sadly he was hit by a bad cold and flared up some lung problems that have been dormant for a few years. That means I'm flying solo, but hopefully will meet some interesting people along the way. Make sure you rest up and get rid of it completely, and then you can start planning the next attempt.

You must have a "deflated" feeling after all the preparations... However, your preparations also mean (if you trained), that you have more strength to face this battle. Maybe there was guidance from above that way - or at least "good luck". Get well soon!
 
Had looked forward to being on the plane with you and hopefully travelling to Ferrol together. I can understand your disappointment but a seasoned campaigner like you will return fighting!

Thanks everybody for your kind thoughts and wishes. I'm not in the least upset as it will be there another year and I'll be fitter then, it's hopefully just a temporary upset. Further tests in a couple of weeks and can then start planning again for when the rugby season is over. The messages I received were most uplifting.
