Hi Guys, as many of you know I have now had my bunion operation and today is day 13 of 14 days complete bed rest and I decided I felt like using my laptop for the 1st time since the op!
The operation went fairly okay, my consultant said because of the poor state of my bones it was hard to smooth the joint. He has also said I may need my ankle fusing but we are going to talk more about that when I see him on Thursday for my 1st post-op appt.
I have to say I have never felt pain like this pain, it's off the chart! Well I can tell you more when I see my consultant on Thursday afternoon. Just wanted to say Hi!

    Hi
    I hope that your operation has been a success and that with more rest things become more comfortable. I don`t have to tell you to keep,ahead of your pain with the pain relief, as you are an expert on that I am sure.
    Good luck on Thursday x

    Well done, Bubba, I'm pleased that all has gone well and I hope that continues to be the case. Any kind of operation on a foot is not to be taken lightly and you have done exactly the right thing so far - keep up the good work! DD

    Thank you everyone, hopefully my stitches will come out tomorrow because that doesn't help with the pain as they are pulling when I hobble to the bathroom!!

    Yes it's soooo painful -worse than labour! I had tramadol (which knocked me out) to take the edge off but it was still bad for the first few days.
    Hope it eases soon

    Just wanted to say it's great to know you've had the op. I hope the stitches came out okay today and that you feel a bit more comfortable now. It's horrible when stitches are pulling, I know that feeling only too well.

    I hope you'll be back to your "normal self" soon.

    Take care,
    GraceB
