long awaited update...

It's been a long time since I last posted my adventures in bunions. This is because after two grueling surgeries on the same foot, I have yet to schedule my right foot. My first surgery (done by a podiatrist) was a complete and utter disaster. After it had not healed completely for more than 15 weeks of nearly no pressure - my hardware was pushing through the top of my foot. As it turned out, he had put in a 2inch plate and 6 screws to fuse my foot. My bunion was still showing and began to be more pronounced week after week. I went to see an OS to have the second surgery done just two weeks after full recovery. She removed all hardware, shaved more of the bone and inserted two simple screws. Had I gone to her in the first place, I would have been very pleased and most likely would have already gone through with the surgery on my right foot. I plan to have my 3rd surgery (right foot) done at the end of this summer.
