Disappointed....
Dale, I'm sorry you were hurting so much on your trip. i'm six months post op and just did mt first x-country trip. travel seems just plain tough for all with back stuff. Cobblestone streets sound excruciating. Did you travel with lots of pillows? I always do this. I've done a lot of world travel in a lot of pain. I think I'm cooked for now.Cried myself a river in a lot of places and got stuck in Singapore literally couldn't move for over a week. I'm sorry you suffered and hope things are calming down now. I pretty much stay on ships due to my back now. The non American ones which are repositioning cruises are reasonable and have worked out pretty well for me.
I always give myself two days of nothing after I arrive somewhere and I've just had to make changes. hope your feeling better now.
