Is this bad enough for surgery??
Is this bad enough for surgery?? Ashley Ann Gantner Had my post-op appointment (week + 2 days) from my Minimally Invasive Surgery Bunionectomy. I was sent home from the hospital with bandages (ace-fabric wrap) and no boot. I have been using a knee scooter to get around. Today, the best thing happened during my post-op!!!! I. Got. To. ITCH. My. Foot. I *suppose* (said sarcastically) seeing my unwrapped foot was pretty cool too Actually, seeing my foot was absolutely awesome! Doc said it looks beautiful and sutures will c Tracy Bygate I had Lapiplasty surgery 5 weeks ago. But I had 4 plates and one staple. I am still in pain and have swelling. Today my doctor said to start walking in my CAM boot and only 25 to 50% weight bearing with no crutches or walker. I honestly can not figure out how to do that. Anyone have any suggestions? I just feel like I can not judge 25-50% weight bearing especially with out an aid. Linda Walter I was told I will have bandages on for 3 weeks. I will lhave a one weeks check and they will change it. Then a 2 weeks check. I will have a boot after that. Will I be able to get back to work with the boot. I have a sit down job. I already have a foot stool I use at work because of my knee. My right side seems to be getting all the work done! Anne Gracie Sorry if this is inappropriate. Delete if necessary. Just wondering does anyone else dread Spring and summer - I mean I can never find any comfortable, pretty spring/summer footwear other than trainers to hide these bunions. People walking around in flip flops etc with pretty painted toenails and I’m doing all I can to hide mine! Anyone ever find any suitable footwear.
