Thanks, knowing someone else has had the treatment makes it 'not so threatening' so to speak. Once they take the nail off they're going to put the chemical on to stop the nails ever growing back (95% proof)! I'll increase my vit C as soon as I know the date of op, maybe for a week or so before hand & maybe a few weeks after??

I don't mind the shoe bit as I haven't been able to wear shoes for about 10 months & with the way my legs, from the knees down, have 'curled' I couldn't get a pair on. I've been given braces that I have to wear 3 times a day for 3 hours on & 3 off, it's to try to correct them with out them becoming dependent on them for shape ........! I don't know if it'll work as I've only been using them for about 2 months & the OT did say it could take 6 months or more to know if they'll work.

Thanks for the support
