If I could go back in time, I would NEVER have had the bunion surgery... obviously, had I known that RSD would be the result, I'd have stayed far away, so be very careful with that decision if you come to it!
As for waiting... I just found out that I may have to wait until Feb. (the month my ins runs out) to get my permanent- depending on "facility approval". If I go to one facility, I'll be able to get it as soon as it's ins approved; if the other, I'll have to wait till Feb and get it right before my insurance runs out... which means post op care will be, er, non existent? It will not be good, let's just put it that way.
Luckily, I'm under my dad's great ins. till then, and I'm hoping that means that I'll be able to go to the other facility (that I'll be able to get into right away), but I'm gonna have to wait till that time comes to find out for sure- although I'll be calling people tomorrow to find out if I can get some info before than... because it's gonna eat me alive w/worry if I can't at least get an educated guess as to what's going to happen... I'm already going a bit nuts not knowing. (the girl in the office who would know the best was gone by the time I was told this info today). I'm just hoping she'll be able to tell me based on my ins. which facility I'm likely to get 'approved' for, and thus what my time-frame will look like... Boy, I did not expect this! Fingers-crossed I can get in the "good" facility!
