Well earlier this week I went to the doctor and scheduled my surgery. I didn't realize I would have multiple doctor appointments just to have surgery.
November 3 - size pre-op papers and review pain medications!
November 3 - crutch training at physical therapy - did you know they have an obstacle course that you have to pass on the crutches before you can have the surgery!
November 5 - physical to confirm I am ok for surgery and more blood work....yea so excited!
November 16 - surgery. They will cut the bone in 2 places, re-align it, and then re-pin it back together - I watched a video of the procedure so I now know what happens. It's not really "breaking" the foot.
I'm not allowed to put any pressure on the foot for the first week and then once I go back in to see her to remove the stitches she will show me how to start working on light pressure.
So sounds like a great Thanksgiving this year!!!!!
