Yet another day in Burgos

I’m afraid that it’s mostly medical news today, and not describing the lovely green fields that we have been walking through. After discharge from hospital yesterday I still felt awful - nausea and vomiting, and in the middle of the night I knew we couldn’t go on today…had to go back to the hospital and get help…they were lovely, and a CT showed a twisted small bowel causing some obstruction which was why I felt so nauseated, and probably the cause of the whole chain of events…so here we are, Amr booked into the hotel till next Sunday and we had to readjust our walking programme…the camino people very sympathetic and understanding (can’t be the first time a medical crisis has happened on the Camino) and tonight Amr is spending on the reclining chair in my room as the hotels are full (or super expensive) as it’s a long weekend for May Day. We are good! I am on nil by mouth (thank god I don’t have to try and eat!) and just IV fluids to rest the bowel, and hopefully in a few days it will resolve…otherwise surgery, but hope not.

Well that’s the latest. Amr will get to know Burgos really well, but it’s a lovely city and lots to see…but much more fun doing it together. Today he went to the Museum of Evolution right near our hotel, had all the time in the world for a good visit. But I do feel bad that he has to do all the mopping up and reorganisation of the trip..we hope to move on sensibly after about a week, but not sure how much walking I will be doing at first…will be cautious. Just so glad that there was a reason I was feeling bad, and that now it is being resolved. Phew…sorry, this is not really a travel report! Will try and write a bit each day, but will probably not be a huge amount to say for a little while.Weiterlesen
