I wondered about that, too. The MD told me that I'll have a cast for a month, then have to wear a surgical "boot" for several months. If I recall correctly, he mentioned crutches, too. I have a pre-op appointment in a couple of weeks & I will get specifics then.

You know what I keep worrying about? It's so silly, but for some reason my anxiety is stuck on it. I have gel polish on my toenails and on my fingernails. I know that it used to be necessary to have gel polish removed prior to surgery. But I don't know if that's still a necessity. Will I need to have the gel on my toes removed? Or can I just leave it and let it grow out on its own? Should I plan on having my finger nails done in 2 weeks as usual, or should I have the gel on them removed altogether? And, as usual and of course, I'm going overboard worrying about my cats while I'm in surgery and afterwards. My anxious BP mind is exhausting.
