- Time of past OR future Camino
- 2009-2022: CFx6, CP, VdlPx2, Mozarabe, more later.
A few of the Forum members have known about my condition for some time.
i in Feb. 2024 I was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. I was registered in the national Parkinson registry. A miserable death was awaiting as my future. No more Caminos. I was filled with depression and suicide thoughts. It was like game over.
I have recently undergone a more detailed study of my body(!) and it turns out it was false: I have a diseise called Polyneurofasi, a nerve fault that inflicts on my legs /walking and some other issues, but not deadly.
As you may or may not know, I have walked many Caminos the last 16 years. As recently as 2014 I walked from Burgos with my daughter (48).
I will now continue to walk Caminos until I fall down for good. Next (May 2015, definitelively) at 71 years of age, with my daughter. I am old, but I am not dead,, and I can definitelely walk. Young people really need to get their eyes off their phones and go see the world, No better place than on a Camino.
However, I was scared stiff after getting the (wrong) diagnose, and had (wrongly, in hindsight) to cancel my commitment as a hospitalero in Najera this spring. Bc. a wrong decision by the doctors.
Sorry, @Rebekah Scott : Doctor's mistale.
@LTfit : Love you too. My heart is yours for your concerns.
