Just wanted to let you all on the BY know that this morning (Wednesday 6/28) I had my 2nd right foot operation!
This time for Hammertoe on my big toe!
In the Prep Room my Dr going to do the surgery noticed that the other 4 toes on my right foot were showing signs that they would windup like my Big Toe down the line sometime!
So he decided on doing ALL 5 toes at 1 operation! Saving me coming back later to finish the job!
Hopefully I'll only have to worry about my heart & Arthritis after the 3 week recovery period!
This stuff never ends for me!

Wishing you a speedy recovery.

I had a fusion of my big toe this past December, and the second toe screwed back together. I am finally able to fit into a wide sneaker, but the swelling will take at least another 6 months to subside. Once the bones of the big toe fuse completely I have the option of getting the hardware taken out (quick surgery/recovery) and you can bet I'm doing it. Small feet and bulky rods/screws are a very uncomfortable match.

Both of these foot things sound like no fun at all. Speedy recovery for you both I hope!

I had a hip replacement done 4 weeks ago and figured it was pretty major stuff. I've mentioned it to a few people and the responses haven't been along the lines of "poor baby! " but more like "oh, my wife has had both hips and both knees replaced" (geez, so sorry about that) or "yeah, I had my knee replaced, now that really hurts and the rehab was long and painful"'. Ok, sorry i mentioned it.

If you are limping around on a bum hip for way too long like I did, get that bugger replaced! At the end of three weeks I was back on a tennis court. Admittedly not moving a whole lot, but hitting a ball. Don't expect a lot of sympathy and take care of those knees!!!

Hang in there buddy!!! Just had my left knee scoped. Going to have my right knee scoped a 2nd time in a month or so. When you’re old and your body is beaten up, it’s because you “used it”. That’s a hell of a lot better than sitting on your ass all your life….:)

Good luck. Had one done in 1970, and can’t say anything good about the outcome. It’s still there, but fused and no feeling.

I've had 4 toes on the right foot done. The big toe is a pain in the butt (horrible image) but I'm resisting the knife. Hope you have a great result.
