I HAD BOTH MY FEET DONE AT THE SAME TIME. IT HAS BEEN 5 WEEKS AND I AM WALKING AROUND MAYBE A BIT SLOWER THAN MOST BUT AT LEAST I AM WALKING. BY THE END OF THE DAY WITH MODERATE AMOUNT OF WALKING MY FEET FEEL SORE BUT NOTHING COMPARED TO WHERE I STARTED, WHICH WAS ALMOST AT A CRIPPLING POINT. I AM VERY PLEASED I HAD THE SURGERY DONE.

ALTHOUGH I STILL WOULD DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN, THIS RECOVERY HAS BEEN MUCH SLOWER THAN I HAD PLANNED. IT HAS BEEN 4 MONTHS AND I STILL HAVE SLIGHT PAIN AFTER STANDING FOR SEVERAL HOURS EVEN WITH MY ORTHODICS AND TENNIS SHOES. ONCE IN A WHILE I TAKE SOME MEDS IF I KNOW IT'S GOING TO BE MORE THAN A COUPLE OF HOURS OF RUNNING ERRANDS.
THE PAIN IS NOT BAD IN THE MORNING AFTER DOING MY STRETCHING EXCERCISES. I STARTED WATER AEROBICS 2 WEEKS AGO, AND DOING WELL SO FAR. I AM STILL LOOKING FORWARD TO THE DAY I AM TOTALLY PAIN FREE.
