Had my bunion and hammertoe surgery😊

Just wanted to thank all who encouraged me to go forward and have it done.

The surgery was 9/23 and I've not experienced one bit of pain. The only real pain is wearing this corrective boot and not being able to drive until the end of the month😉. (My friends have been wonderful in offering to take me if I need to go somewhere which I really don't except dr. appt.)

I had my follow up appt and my foot and toes look great! Best thing I've done can't wait to enjoy wearing shoes again without the pain😊

Good for you!

Glad it's behind you now and you are recovering.

Happy future shoe shopping!

@homedecor1. Wow, I'm impressed! You were out chasing alligators out of your driveway WITH A BOOT ON. What a woman

Glad to heat you're healing well. There will soon be no holding you back.

Congrads and wishing you a full recovery and back to driving yourself to and from by the end of the month as you noted. I have a bone spur on the inner aspect of my right foot making it difficult to wear a boot type shoe because of the pain it causes and I'm trying to convince myself to have it removed so your outcome may give me a bit of encouragement, thanks and take care !

@Goodie2shoes

I had a wonderful orthopedic surgeon who specializes in foot problems. I hardly have any scarring considering I had extensive joint replacement in 2 toes and large bunion removed.

Good luck if you decide surgery to correct your problem.

@homedecor1 I bet you are glad that is behind you...when you posted about the surgery I thought it sounded painful.

It sounds like you are recovering well!

Wonderful that healing is smooth. One day soon that boot will history 🥰

@homedecor1 So glad you're recovering well.

May I ask: Are you able to clean your house? Do laundry? Shower? Cook?

I live on the second floor, 31 steps. Do you think I'd be able to get outside with that boot on?

If groceries delivered, are you able to unpack them and put them away?

I only ask because I was offered this surgery and declined, not because of fearing the pain but because of thinking I wouldn't be able to do the items I mention above.

Thanks so much!!
