More Information

This post is about a short walk within Budapest. I have decided to rent an apartment for a few months and try to get better with PT.

I left the hospital after about a week. The doctors were still talking about surgery, the physical therapist still didn’t want to hear anything of it, and I was still confused.

What was I supposed to do?

P.T.

I decided to give physical therapy a chance. This meant that I would have to stay in Budapest for a lot longer than I had initially planned – not weeks but months. But how?

My airbnb was too expensive to stay long term, and it was booked anyway. Luckily, I had a friend in the city. Zilin had taken care of me while I was in the hospital, bringing me meals and some of my items, and she knew someone who was renting out apartments.

I looked at exactly one studio apartment in the center, and when it turned out that there was a garage space for the Caboose and a big screen TV, I signed a contract until the end of the year.

the walk

We started walking at around noon. Zilin had come to support me, pulling the Caboose while I was limping along next to her. It was only a short distance – one of the shortest walking days on The Longest Way for sure – but to me it felt a bit overwhelming anyway.

And so, because my new physical therapist had made me promise to be extra careful, we took a break in the middle of our walk, and I lay down on a park bench, trying to blend in with the pigeons and the foliage.

An hour later we had arrived at the apartment, and thus I had gone from being one who walks to being one who rents.

    Looks like you’ve got yourself a nice little space you rented.
    Rest well, get the therapy. Hopefully you can ease into walking to Vienna.
    Any way you can make the caboose lighter, easier to pull?

    Hi Chris,
    Are you able to fly back to Germany for treatment?
    Wish you recover fully soon.
