Thank you for your input. I was vaguely aware of the potential of a domino effect, but having started to feel the significant pain on the other side in advance of the first procedure, I really would likely discount that. I guess I would like to, probably inappropriately, judge my subsequent recovery by my current one. It's been just over 2 months, and I really feel fine on the affected side following my initial repair. I did do a little local consulting with some professional friends since my first post, and I have decided to go ahead and get the next surgery done sooner than later. I really would like to be somewhat back in good walking shape by the first of May, because I know we'll be on our feet pretty constantly on our trip, which starts the 3rd week of May. I also want to mitigate any further chance for lingering weakness on this side, since it's my dominant hand side.

Will keep posted...
