Honestly traveling solo doesn’t seem like such a huge mistake here. You traveled on a highly populated path at a good time with decent weather. Something happened and other people were close by, I doubt having a travel buddy would have made any significant difference.
That's actually a fair point - The crisis itself wouldn't have been any different if I had someone there, but the trip to the ER and journey home would've been simpler. I had to Uber from the ER back to my AirBnB (expensive), and my dad actually flew out to drive our car home and help me make a flight back in time to talk to an orthopedic surgeon. Having a friend along would've simplified things for me after the splint was set :)
