Sorry to hear about your crash, hope it wasnβt too nasty and that youβre feeling ok now.
Weβre currently in Guatemala and riding the Pan Am southbound . Do you know Andrea and Jake?

I was just riding that route as a one off so haven't rubbed shoulders with many tourers. It's beautiful and plenty of cool places to camp. I guess what happened to me was just pure bad luck.
Maybe TMI but when they scraped me off the road I was in a bad way: fractured spine, lungs full of blood etc. Spent two weeks in an induced coma and then another two in intensive care recovering. Can now walk and climb stairs and looking forward to being repatriated tomorrow.

Sending yourself pesos via Western Union is your best bet. Not many places take card because of the crippling fees.
I'm in an Argentinian hospital right now after being knocked off my bike by a coach on the Ruta de Siete Lagos. Fingers crossed I get discharged today. Getting out will feel amazing after six weeks being immobile.
