You question your sanity and wish you could go back to before! But, honestly, after one week things are already looking up and by week 3 you can get outside for short walks and by week 7 you’re getting about without too much trouble at all. I’m in flats and can actually just today start fitting into some of my ‘pre-surgery’ comfort shoes. I hope you have a similar recovery – it’s amazing what our bodies can do but you do need to rest, rest, rest. I found that so hard too. I learnt to knit from watching YouTube videos!! Good luck to you (and your husband) and with the move. Cheers, Lily

And I’m on day 4 post surgery. My bandages are becoming a little loose around the heels actually, not sure why – perhaps swelling coming down already – hopeful!!

I’m glad I did as there is no way I could have coped with the level of pain I experienced on Saturday at home. My feet were like red hot pokers. I’m on day post surgery now, staying in bed mainly and just hobbling to the loo down the hall now and again. They hurt but pain has disused massively since Saturday. I’m actually finding it fairly easy to walk with the surgical boots & crutches. I am v tearful today though, not used to doing nothing, my husband has bad anxiety and it doesn’t make him the best nurse though he is doing all the cooking and looking after the kids.

We are in the UK but lived in Melbourne until last year. My husband is returning in 3 weeks and kids & me at the end of the year, looking forward to mainly living in thongs after surgical boots as should manage 2 summers this year :)

I hope you & your feet are continuing to do wel.

My goodness, your feet look scary – and I’m afraid for when it’s my turn. I have to focus on the end result.
Hope your recovery has been steady. I shall ask my husband to read this so that he knows what to expect.
Thanks for taking the time to do this. It’s very helpful.
