I'd love to hear from you if you've had the att surgery

[Guest guest]

Hello. I think I'm over the initial shock that Dr. P. thinks Calvin

may need the att surgery in 4-6 months, now I've accepted it and am

trying to plan/mentally prepare in the event that we do.

I'd love to hear from anyone who has been through it. How long do

they stay off their feet afterwards? Can they use crutches or so they

scoot around (he is 4 1/2)? Do they stay on pain medication for

awhile? Did you have it done in Iowa City? Did you have follow-up

done there also? How long until they can walk or run afterwards?

Anything else you can tell me that would be helpful.

We are not sure yet if he will need it on 1 or both feet, if we end up

needing it.

Thanks. Jen
