Dr visit

I went to see the doctor who will be doing my Triple infusion. I have a foot that over the years has turned out because the tendon has failed. They will infuse the ankle and the foot before the toes and extend the hamstring. I will lose the sideways movement but as it is now my right foot is perpendicular to the left and that puts a strain on the leg all the way up to the hip. When I have this done I will most likely spend some time in rehab as I live alone. And won't be able to drive for 6 weeks. I looked into it last fall but the idea of being laid up during winter did not appeal to me. Hope to get it done in the next month so I will be driving and moving around before winter. Fingers crossed. Without my shoe implant, I would be in constant pain but eventually, the tendon may give away completely. Wish me luck

Wishing you all the best Joan, I can empathise, I had a foot fusion in 2017 and had to wear a pot and stay off my foot for 3 months. My iPad took a severe battering, that year!! Please keep us posted.

[Joan Robillard]

@craftymeg But did your mobility improve afterward?

Wishing you the very best, Joan. I hope you are better than ever afterwards!

[Nick]

All the best for the op Joan. It sounds like it’s definitely the best thing to do and will be worth it in the long run. 🙂

[Granagringa]

I hope it all goes as you hope! Wish we were closer to help out!

[Skip Tribby - ​🖖]

My goodness, I hope they are able to correct this problem for you. I will pray for a successful surgery even more so than the doctors hope for.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

More than luck, I will be praying for you, the drs. and the surgery! I wish I could be there to help. But I know your family is close by and will be there for you too.

[Jacqueline]

Wishing your more than luck, hope that your surgery is soon and everything will go as planned!
