Just got home from my second round of physical therapy. I have struggled a bit with sore feet, but a tendonitis in the knee had me limping a couple weeks ago. I almost shed a tear when I was told if I want a good chance of doing the Camino, I had to start back at 2 miles day (and no pack) last week.
I have the OK to do 2.5 miles with a pack today, tomorrow and up it to five miles on Sunday. Then back on Monday to check things out.
As challenging to hold back as it is, I am following the doctor’s notes and exercises to the tee. I also requested reservations in Orison at the end of day one just to play it safe.
Things are certainly improving and strengthening supporting muscles with a stretchy band, but oh the frustration.
Having bought my airfare last November, I am pretty much committed given the cost. It seems like the Camino is getting bigger.
Wishing everyone a Buen Camino. Please note that some of these posts while on the trail are done via mobile device and could contain poor grammar, spell check and auto text placement by the phone. I also do not know the frequency of updates since WIFI may not always be available or enjoying a day of technology detox.
