For anyone that used the surgical sandal instead of a boot… were there any times that you wished you also had a boot or was the sandal good? Shared post Kristy Eccles Hi all! Thursday will be 9 weeks post op for me. I had an appt today and my surgeon cleared me to slowly resume normal daily activities. He said I can resume exercising (low impact - elliptical/stationary bike), swim, walk barefoot, get pedicures. I am (obviously) not cleared to jump or run. He set my next appt for mid November and told me I don’t need to be seen before unless something happens. He told me it will be 6-8 months before I don’t notice my foot anymore. I don’t really have pain at this point. Just swelling and sporadic numbness/tingling, which he said will resolve with time. He also told me to be careful of the sun. I have been using Vanicream on both feet every night (although this has always been my daily routine). I am also going to start using Mederma as of tonight. Luckily, my scar is not prominent. But I would like to keep it that way lol. I just wanted to come on and share there is light at the end of the tunnel! I hope everyone else is having a speedy recovery as well! Edit to add: I also asked if there was still a restriction on shoes as at my last appt I was told to wear Hokas. He said there’s no restrictions and to wear what’s comfortable. Altho, with the swelling, I’m not sure what I’ll be able to wear other than sneakers / crocs lol Hi all! Thursday will be 9 weeks post op for me.

Shared post Natasha Johnson I’ll be 7wks post-op tmrw. I was scheduled to attend pt this morning but my therapist, sadly, had an unexpected death in her family. I was given the option of receiving pt through another therapist but decided against that. I’ll have my final 2 sessions with my regular therapist on Aug 20th and 25th. On the positive side, although I still have some peeling (in weird areas), I no longer have tenderness on the incision site, the scab is completely gone and I’m able to easily massage and moisturize the area. I walk on my treadmill 3x a day and for 30 minutes each. I’m still working on the great toe stiffness with standing heel raises. I am still able to wear my shoes for several hours w/o issues and I can feel my toe bending a little more when walking but of course, it’s not 100% yet. I also have a small amount of residual swelling at the base of my toe and on the left top area of my forefoot. I am scheduled to return to work on August 27th without restrictions🙏🏽 and I have NO PAIN!🙌🏾 Continued healing to you all. There IS a light at the end of the tunnel and it’s shining bright. 😊 I’ll be 7wks post-op tmrw.
