Day 2. Hospital adventure Camino de Hospidal

Fractured fibula. This little pilgrims coming home😵  I must say a huge thank you to Istvan and Barbara at Pension Curazon Puro.   They are incredible people.  They have made me so welcome and gone above and beyond the call of duty.  I would have been lost without them.  Anyone planning to come to the Camino  Frances definitely check them out.  It'll be a great way to start your pilgrimage and the foods fabulous too.

The Spanish hospital in Pamplona was incredible, so efficient. I was in and out of energency including xrays and plaster cast in under two hours.

I  have to have a needle everyday while the cast is on to prevent  thrombosis.  I've never heard of anyone having to do that before but being as I'm flying it seems like a good idea.  So..the nurse tells me this information,  arrives with syringe.   Gives me my needle and then tells me I have to do that to MYSELF for the next 6 weeks....everyday.  No mucking around with lessons on how to shoot up or crap like that here.  Just suck it up and get on with it.  It's not even an epi type thing.  So tomorrows needle is going to be interesting. 😩  
It's been a very interesting day..
