St. Jean to Finisterre/Muxi, Summer, 2015
I have a friend who has had replacement surgery on both her knees and, with her husband, has been planning to walk the Camino Frances this fall. Understandably, they have been quite concerned over how she will fare and are now seriously considering whether they should even go.
Having walked the Camino twice, my wife and I have a fair idea of what's in store for our friends and have encouraged them to go. We have discussed with them the idea of making reasonable goals, maintaining a comfortable and safe pace, and have assured them, as others have observed in this forum, there is no shame in using other means of transportation.
I would love to hear from anyone who has walked the Camino with one or both knees replaced. What has been your experience? Can it be done? What were the greatest challenges?
Thanks!
