I know that surgeries are not easy to build one's courage up for....but if the outcome is positive.....it will be a good thing.

Know I had to have my knee reconstructed after blowing out my ACL playing racquettball (playing on a challenge court against an A player.....won the match, but got carried off the court) It took almost 5 years before I found a ortho Dr that knew what the problem was (before arthroscopic surgery). Had moved into a new home & couldn't even go up the stairs let alone carry the heavy boxes without my knee being so painful & being unstable.

It was a long process with all the PT....but 6 months later, I was down hill skiing in Jackson Hole at our vacation condo. Used a brace for my knee, but I was finally able to function again & even got back to playing racquettball.

It wasn't my feet, which I think may be even more difficult because of all the nerve endings in the bottom of our feet. The one thing I did get from the process was how important the physical therapy (PT) really is. I would have never been able to walk again if it weren't for the PT. All the scar tissue had to be broken up. Don't know if that's an issue with foot surgery or not....but if it is, I highly recommend doing any PT they might suggest.

Will be keeping you in my thoughts as you are going through this difficult time Know you have a lot of difficult things going on in your life.....sorry you have this on top of everything else.
