Foot surgery for me..OT

[Guest guest]

If it's not one thing it's another....after a year of pain in my

feet and not knowing what was causing it, except for the fact that

if I wore shoes or socks it would aggravate it, I went to a

Podiatrist 4 weeks ago. He told me I had Morton's Neuroma and I

could wait or do a number of different things to try and correct it.

As we are moving in 3 weeks, I decided to establish a

consult/relationship with another podiatrist, closer to the area we

are moving to for logical reasons....he confirmed what the other Dr

said and the best option for me is surgery. So I am off to see the

surgeon next week. Basically, two nerves have enlarged and caused

benign tumours to grow around them and anything that puts pressure

at any point on my foot causes bad cramping pain that isn't relieved

until an hour or so after removing my shoes. I've been walking

around the house in barefeet and wearing flip flops since May of

last year and don't want to go through another winter of frozen feet

or pain..

besides, it's getting worse and even wearing no shoes is not helping

anymore...

I think it is an overnight stay in hospital, but it won't be

happening until I move out of this house and am ensconced in my

father in law's house or our new house, whichever happens first.

More than likely will be the second week of November. Six week

recovery I've been told. It is happening with my left foot, but is

not nearly as bad, so that gives me the ability to just have one

foot done at a time. Will probably have the left foot done sometime

next year.

And on a happier note...on the 1st of November I will become an

American citizen...am nervous about the test of knowledge I have to

pass, but think I have all the answers memorised *L*..or should I

spell that memorized? *L*

At least when I say it's the red white and blue for me, I can be

talking about both the american and aussie flag as they are the same

colours *L* And I keep my Australian citizenship also, so can have

the best of both countries if i wish...
