Guest guest Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 Hi everyone, we just got back from the doctors. Well we discussed with him about the surgery. Well he told us there are two surgeries he can do. The first one is the one that is 65-70% chance it will work. But the thing that concerns him, with that one, is that I barely have any muscle tone. When he looked at my foot today he was concerned about even doing it now. So he recommends another type and it is called pantalar fusion. It is where my right foot will be straight, like my foot is when I have my braces on. He said I have a better chance of this one working out than the other one. See if the other one does not work than he would have to do this one and that would mean going through another surgery and more recovery time. The down side of this one is I will be laid up for 3 months rather than 6 weeks. I just am going to worry about the kids and Bob. I hate just lying around and not doing anything. Plus I cannot even sit at the computer and do anything. So I don't know what I am going to do. I wish I had a lap top but oh well right. He does not want me to put any pressure it it all. The date for the surgery is February 22, 2007. The reason its so far in advance is he only does surgery at the hospital on Tuesdays and Thursdays. So we picked Thursday so Bob would not have to take too many days off. So I was just wondering if anyone has had this surgery done and if so how long were they in their cast.
