5.5 weeks post-op.

5.5 weeks post-op. Progressing in physical therapy. In addition to the usual toe mobility and balancing exercises, I did heel to toe walking on a straight line, zig zag lateral crab walks with a resistance band around my legs and monster walks with a resistance band. I actually broke a sweat. Felt good to actually work out! Not my physical therapist, but here is the lateral monster walk: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/uA9zEX3gL8U And here is the zig zag crab walk: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/twlQHjaSx94 5.5 weeks post-op.

Shared post Arnell Ernst I had bunion surgery 3 years ago. My pain and recovery had been tough. Finally went back to the doctor to discover my big toe joint is full of arthritis. We've tried anti-inflammatories, injections and ortho inserts. Nothing has helped enough. This had affected my daily life and hobbies. My next option is a big toe fusion. If you've had this done, can you share your outcome? After a failed bunion surgery, im scared for another surgery.

I always feel a light touch of anxiety before walking because I don't want any contact between my footwear and the incision site. So I took a deep breath and went for a walk in my wide-toe-box sandals (with orthopedic support), but WITHOUT using a protective Band-Aid to cushion my healing incisions. Just like Patti LaBelle & Michael McDonald, I did this 🎶On my own🎶 so I could walk with no pressure and alternate between walking faster or slower, finding my groove on my own terms. I complete all my toe/foot mobility exercises and things can still feel a little "tight" sometimes, and to the untrained eye, I probably look like I'm walking normally? But more importantly, my confidence is increasing. I can now use light/medium dumbbells for some exercises without the need for a chair... but I thought with all the core work I've been doing, Calvin Klein was going to call me for the summer ad campaign! 😅 It's worth mentioning that at about 2 weeks post-op, I noticed random light patches of skin near the incision site, and I was shedding so much skin (especially over where my old bunion used to reside) that I had to double-check it wasn't midnight and I wasn't howling at a full moon. Everything seems to have settled, and I think my obsession with moisturizing, drinking water, quality sleep, and listening to Louis Armstrong's "Wonderful World" helps a lot.
