this was what they looked like on Friday morning.....
and this on Monday afternoon.....
and this on Monday afternoon.....
I had one bunion done. I had a chevron bunionectomy. So far, so good! Totally happy with and impressed with my doctor. The time was right. I have known for years that I will need to do this surgery. I found this doctor a few years ago, and he was highly recommended. Now I found out that he is retiring from surgery in 2 months. yikes! so I just needed to go do it. He says I will be in running shoes in 2 weeks, and then I will be doing the other foot in 2 weeks from now so I will finally have decent feet! yeah!
Partly I am posting this on here, since I had such a hard time when I hunted for things on the internet about bunion surgeries, and people's experiences with them. But mostly I found the bad stories. So hopefully here will be a good one, which is what I am feeling. :)
I went in on Friday and had the surgery, and yes, took lots of pain meds over the weekend. But I woke up this morning with it feeling much better. I had taken it really easy for three days, and had been really good keeping it elevated. It paid off. Today was great.
emmett with me at the post-op visit this morning....

Hi! I'm on the verge of taking the plunge and getting my feet done, but all I read are horror stories and I'm wavering. Can I ask, now that you're over a year post-op, what are your results? Are you still happy? How long did it take you to be able to function? I'd really appreciate any btdt info you might be able to share. Thanks in advance!
