I can’t believe this, we are due to go on holiday to Crete tomorrow after waiting 3 years due to covid. We have rearranged the holiday twice and we’re so excited. I have badly pulled a muscle in the back of my leg and to put weight on it is truly painful. Today is worse and I don’t know what to do - I cant even walk to the kitchen. I thought I’d call the insurance company but they close at 1 on a Saturday then open Monday. Do I go and hope to get a wheelchair at the airports and resort. Do I forfeit the holiday. I am so sad and frustrated

Thanks for the update. Get better soon, so you can ✈️ for your holiday to Crete - go easy on your knees x

Thank you for updating us. I, like others, have been thinking about you.

Although you received some good advice, ultimately only you know whether you could manage to travel or not.

I aborted a long weekend away at the last second (a sudden chest infection) and a cruise (broken leg and foot) so do know how you feel. I was not so much upset for myself but felt awful causing chaos for my husband. I hope your travelling companion was understanding.

These things happen and upsetting as they are, you are alive and will live to fight another day/holiday!

Hope you recover soon.
