Annie Lennox was right, because 🎶sweet dreams are made of this, and who am I to disagree?🎶 😅 I'm sitting at around 5 1/2 weeks post-op... from MIS bunion surgery, and today was like a dream... 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.

I’m abt 6 weeks post op. Give the go ahead to start walking. Any suggestions for a shoe/sneaker slide that I can use in this transition phase? My foot is swollen and even my “ wide” shoes/sneakers don’t fit. TYIA Shared post Jill Scheppler I’m considering MIS without hardware. I understand the healing of the bone occurs while you have the bandage wrap on for quite some time. Can anyone share results after several years of having the surgery without hardware? Shared post HappyOtter7017 Does anyone have a throbbing feeling at night time I try my best to get comfortable I would be laying here half way asleep and boom I’m back up! Feels like my incision site screaming right before I go to sleep. Shared post RadiantHedgehog6099 I am getting bunionette surgery in November. Has anyone gotten this? What can I expect?
