Hi I am one week post op and saw the doctor yesterday.
Hi I am one week post op and saw the doctor yesterday. He was very pleased with my progress. Minimal swelling We have scheduled the left foot for 3 weeks from now. . . Has anyone had 2nd surgery so close? Shared post Andrea Weidenfeld Bitz Is this the most popular option for leg elevation? Best to keep both legs up I guess??

Shared post Ty Pie I'm sitting at about 31 days post-op... I want to be as honest as possible in this post. I had MIS surgery because "on average" you can make a quicker return to form and feel so heroic you might even get a supporting role in the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday movie. But social media is a bit like David Blaine because it can trick you into believing an "end result" is the whole story. Before my operation, I probably watched most videos on YouTube and eventually found a video of an active guy in his late 30s/early 40s who kinda made it seem like after two weeks post-op you can moonwalk like MJ did during his performance on Motown 25... But HIS journey was not mine. I think the biggest misconception is being able to 'weight bear' sooner... that is true! ...but it's NOT the same as 'walking' with full range of motion for hours at a time. My nerve zingers and swelling have reduced, but if there is too much pressure from my sandals against the incision area, it's still very uncomfortable... so my orthopedic shoe is like an American Express card: I NEVER leave home without it! 😂 I regularly massage and move my big toe. I walk at times but I try to put just as much effort and time into "rest & recovery" as I do to "activity" because we all know that Tortoise outsmarted the Hare for a reason, and slow and steady will win this race. 🐢🐇 Although my post may sound like I'll be packing my bags and moving in with Oscar the Grouch, MIS has been the BEST move I've made and any discomfort I've experienced so far is nothing compared to the pain that both my bunions brought down upon me at their worst. In fact, in late August, I will 100% get the ball rolling to get my other foot done. Take good care of yourselves, my friends. I'm sitting at about 31 days post-op...

Still dealing with swelling and inflammation but I was allowed to walk out of the hospital in my surgical boot. So, definitely a trade off between activity and swelling. Going well though. I think my xray looks pretty great! Open to hear your thoughts May be an image of xray and bone. May be an image of xray and bone Shared post
