Oh boy, Anne....I hate to hear you're going to have foot surgery. I've had 4 different surgeries (8 separate incisions) on my left foot and it was a big pain in the *****....I've had bone spurs and a joint "clean out" on my big toe- the cartilege was gone and it was bone on bone. That didn't fix my problem so I had to have my big toe fused in another surgery- 8 wks. on crutches. The tendon in my little toe has been cut and repositioned. The tailors bunion on the outside of my foot has been shaved down twice. A bone spur has been shaved on the bottom of one metatarsal. I could go on and on. I'll be thinking about you and hoping that everything goes smoothly.
