Pilgrim with shattered wrist

[Rambler]

Today in the Atlanta airport I saw a young lady carrying a pack with The Shell. I stopped her to see if she was leaving or returning from the Camino. She had her arm fully bandaged and had shattered her wrist in a fall outside of Pamplona. Although having to undergo a long period in the hospital, she was still enthusiastic about her few days on the Camino and the new friends she
made in Orrison.
I let her know about this forum, and hope she will join and be able to reconnect with some of those that she had walked with over those two days.
If you walked with her, please post something as she did not have time to get much more than first names.
All the best to you, fellow pilgrim, in your healing and return to the Camino in the future.

Ha! That's my cousin. I forwarded the link to her. Hopefully she will join the forum.

Yup, Saint James works in strange ways alright...

Don't know which hospital she was in, but in April 2013 my husband broke his hip in Estella. After three days in the hospital there ( a little rough), we transported to Clinicas Universitarias de Navarra in Pamplona. I have nothing but the highest praise for the staff and facilities there during his total hip replacement. AND their cafeteria had beer on tap and pretty decent wine for the caregiving wife

Sounds like my kind of hospital!

@Janbrovold not what anyone would wish for on camino, but I'm glad he got the care he needed, and you got some slight chance to sample the wine. It looks like you were able to round out the experience a bit later.
