Jackie, I almost forgot-

regarding the bunions...

I'm telling you, not only did it cause the RSD, but it was an INCREDIBLY painful surgery! I'm talking, couldn't get out of my dad's recliner for days (I stayed there for a good week afterwards, this was pre-puppy). He would have to bring me EVERYTHING, as getting up (and lowering that foot) was so painful. I would even avoid going to the bathroom all day until I thought my bladder was going to explode, because that was such a painful experience.

Now, of course that was all temporary, but it was the cause of my RSD, so my other foot is not getting done... and I'd strongly caution you before you decide to get the surgery... I'd never do it again, but that's just me. Ugly feet are great! Nothing wrong with ugly feet, this I promise you!!!
