I went to see the private Orthopedic doctor yesterday courtesy of my G.P about my bunion. Very nice man, he showed me my X-Rays of my left foot and explained everything and said the best thing to do was refer me to the surgeon show him the X-Rays and he can decide to either shave down the bunion or remove it totally because mine is a weird shape almost a hook shape! So I had to choose from a list of Hospitals where I want the operation and he said I will get a letter with a date to see the surgeon it shouldn't be more than a 3 weeks I will have to wait. So at last the bunion will be sorted very soon and I will be able to wear my lovely shoes again instead of living in my bootie slippers or my very worn shoes and no more pain!!!

    What a great result! Bet you're looking forward to buying lots of new shoes.
    He did not say you will not be storm tossed, you will not be sore distressed, you will not be work weary. He said you will not be overcome.

    Hope you get it sorted, bubbadog. Neither slippers nor old shoes are good for arthritic joints.
    If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.
