Well Hell

[Aloha From Kauai]

First day of my training, 500 steps in. Face plant!

 

[trecile]

Oh no! Is it broken or sprained?
Don't try to walk on it too soon, you don't want to create further damage.

Fractured. 6 weeks, two to spare after, but will be coming out of shape. Grace is not my middle name

Well let's hope Patience is...
All the best for a..er...speedy recovery ...but slow & steady does it!

 

[C clearly]

Oh no!!!! Well, you just left enough time! But be sure to stay off it for the full 6 weeks. Best wishes.

Probably better at Grace...cough. But I'll embrace Patience knowing she'll get me to the Camino!

I like your cat

Maybe your Camino lessons have begun? Wishing you patience and a gentle Camino when you get there

 

[Anniesantiago]

Oh gosh, I am so sorry!

 

[El Cascayal]

Ouch for you in so many ways. Looks as if you have a very “I’m gonna take care of this recovery thing” feline as companion and caregiver. Buen Camino all ways.

Ouch. Bummer. Speedy recovery.

 

[Aloha From Kauai]

I like your cat

That would be Boogie, a very dedicated couch potato

 

[Aloha From Kauai]

Many thanks! My goal is not to trip myself in this contraption and do worse damage!

Boogie loves when I am at his level. He's not a lap cat, more of a "I'll stick to your side like glue" kind of guy

 

[Aloha From Kauai]

Oh gosh, I am so sorry!

Thank you Annie

Most definitely, "watch where you're going is, I suspect, a critical reminder. The Pyrenees just got a lot bigger though

 

[FourSeasons]

Oh no!, I'm so sorry. Here's to a complete recovery. The Camino will wait patiently for your return. Beautiful cat and so attentive.

I do not offer judgement. I can offer my own story. If something rings true, there is a reason for these words.

In 2017, I walked 1,000 + km in preparation for pilgrimage in 2018. My training took me to my limits and I was confident. But as it turned out, I walked a mere 100 km before I blew out my quads on my left leg. I have not been back and it will be at least another year before I can try again.

Another topic, but definitely related. If you go without health insurance, and need hospitalization, you may be allowed to leave the hospital without paying but they will send a bill a couple of months later.

Hope this helps.

I'll be insured, both with my own health care plan, but also two (one COVID) travel plans. Thank you for your thoughts.

Auwe no ho'i!!!!
I'm so sorry, @Aloha From Kauai.

I hope you're not in too much pain - and that patience is as close at hand as Boogie.

(Your timing is impeccable, so exercise those thighs however you can! You can't walk, but there are options.)

A broken ankle can have your laid up in bed. However, you can still exercise with a broken ankle with other range-of-motion and strengthening exercises.

OOPS - Still, on the positive side, it gives you leisure time to brush up on your Spanish (if needed)

Awesome! I'm going to need all the help I can get!

 

[jbreuner]

Well, hell... that sucks! Best wishes for a full recovery. And, if you go slow when you get there I might catch up with you, if I don't suffer the same fate (April 28 - June???). Ha!

 

[CaptBuddy]

It is the cat's fault. They are all Demon Spawn.
Since we got our cat I find I have gotten 8 years older!
Coincidence? I think not!
Quick recovery and Buen Camino.

 

[Kathy F.]

Aloha nui loa!
So sorry that you got off to such a rough start. On the other hand, it bodes well for the rest of your Camino - you've already gotten the jinx out of the way. Are you thinking of changing the dates to the fall?

 

[rdcalhoon]

Cat purrs are well known to accelerate bone healing. Worked for me anyway.

 

[Sue127]

What a pain! Hope your recovery is swift and sweet. Buen Camino for when you’re able.

Then I'll be healing soon, Boogie is but one!

No, if I were to change I'd wait until 2023 as I want to see the wildflowers and the storks in their nests, baby farm animals, etc. I'm planning on going, and I'll just walk real slowly

Hopefully Patience is - best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Sending good thoughts for recovery. When you again are ready to go pilgrimaging and need a house- and cat-sitter, let me know!

Always need good critter sitters!

 

[Shona]

Hi there, how’s your recovery going? Sure hope it’s all plain sailing which will transmogrifiy into stately smooth walking on the Camino. With or without Puss-in-Boots
Ultreia!
