Re: Sucessful Foot Surgery

[Guest guest]

Hey ,

Congratulations! I'm now in my 8th week and have been in a walking cast for

approximatly 2 of them. Everything seems to be going well and the doctor says it

was a success.

One thing that is a very strange sensation is actually stepping on my heel.

Before, the heel rolled and it was more like stepping on the side of my foot.

This started a deformity.

Now I stand on what the doctor says is the tri-point stance. Kinda cool, but

still a little wierd.

Congratulations on your successful foot surgery! Surgery is never an

easy option, but it is worth it when the outcome is good. My husband

(non-CMT) had his knee replaced and the outcome was so successful it

was worth all he went through. He walks so much better and faster

than he could previously. His quality of life is so much better!

Hope your recovery continues well for you!

Glad it went well. My son in law attends Northwestern and I can't think of

a better hospital to be at as a student or patient.

I have just recently underwent a tendon transfer on my right foot. A Bridle

reconstruction. The procedure was done out of Northwestern hospital in

Chicago. Well, after 6 weeks, and 2 casts. I am finally in a walking cast! The

therapy has started. Twice a week for the next six

weeks. It was strange taking a few steps with the redone foot. The high

arch is not as noticeable. The whole architecture of the foot is very

different now. If, I had to do it over again. I, would in a minute.
