Hello- Just wondering, If you waited too long to get bunion surgery, and once they did it, how was it? Like I believe I am waiting too long. My big toe is leaning toward the others, etcs. I have an appointment next week. Just curious. Shared post Ty Pie Annie Lennox was right, because if 🎶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. Look after yourselves, my friends. Annie Lennox was right, because if sweet dreams are made of this, and who am I to disagree?

I now have a tonne of pain on the side of my foot but most recently also on the ball. Feels like I’m walking on a pebble. I’m a gardener and have a small holding. With surgery will I be able to get about? I am in so much pain but not sure how to deal with being immobile when I have animals that rely on me. I’m sure I’m not the first to have this concern… would love to hear from anyone that’s been through anything similar. No photo description available. Shared post
