Hi bunion buddies! I am having hardware removal and MIS surg
Hi bunion buddies! I am having hardware removal and MIS surgery tomorrow and dr says I will be able to walk with a boot right away. My question is for those who had the same surgery, How do you do that without a wheelchair right after surgery and getting into the house from the car? We have one step from to get into the house. Thanks in advance.

Has anyone ever had hammertoe surgery on the toe next to the big one and then years like 5years or so after surgery you stubbed it hard and broke it or stubbed it and it turned a little purple and hurt? I stubbed mine the other day and it’s been hurting and today it’s purple I’m scared it broke or fractured I do t want to have surgery again and I also had bunion surgery on the same foot and last time my toe got hammertoed because I fractured it over like 8 years ago and never took care of it, help

I'm about 6 weeks out from my MIS bunion surgery, and the aim of my posts is to try and be as honest as possible about my experience. As my vacation is coming to a close, I thought I'd go for another morning stroll... and ended up walking just over 5 km (3 miles). Not only does this fill me with confidence for the journey back, but also for my eventual return to work. I have no regrets about my decision to tackle my bunions, and as soon as my plane touches UK airspace, I want to set the wheels in motion to have my other foot done. I've said it before, but I made the mistake of following some young guy (in his 30s) vlog on YouTube who had MIS and returned to work on day 3, and was doing some sort of gym activity on day 7. Based on this video, I asked to be signed off for 2 weeks; however, I was very lucky that I had previously booked vacation time, giving me a total of 5 weeks away from work. I wouldn't recommend travelling, BUT I was able to adapt and rest — something I could not have done if I returned to work sooner. I genuinely believe that MIS recovery is faster... but... this really isn't about who gets there first. Weight-bearing is NOT the same as walking. It's like saying you can drive, but instead of getting in your regular car, I take you to the bumper cars at a fairground... it's still driving, but not the same thing. You can't forget your bone has been cut and realigned, so healing and self‑care of that gorgeous human being you see in your reflection has to be your number one priority. Take good care of yourselves, my friends.
