Thanks for the prayer! I left you a message on another one of our posts about how today went, but just to let you know here...it went GREAT! Bone is growing so well, the gap is filling in and the bone looks strong! This surgery, as tough as it was, was much more tolerable for me than the original. I had 7 surgery sites in the first surgery, 6 around my foot and one on the side of my calf where a tendon was transferred. I also had my heel cut off, scooted over, and then screwed back on with 2 screws. The pain, even though I was on 2 pain meds and had a catherter put in at my knee feeding pain meds straight to my foot, was unbearable and I ended up in the ER 3 days after surgery needing more help for pain. I am afraid to have the other foot done, but will do it anyway, as the results are sooo worth it. Other than the one set of bones not healing last time, the rest of that foot works beautifully and wears shoes properly. I love it...it's my favorite foot lol! This time I didn't have the catheter at my knee, I had a nerve block that last 2.5 days. It worked much better. Between that and now knowing what to expect, I'll do it again in a year or so. Thanks for asking! ❤️
