    Great outcome! I painted my toe nails this week by way of learning to love my new feet and getting to know them!!

    Hi Star, you must be thrilled, your feet look fab and very cute shoes too!!. No one but bunion sufferers would understand how something as having a normal looking foot can give so much happiness, heheeee!!! Wishing you continued good recovery, keep posting.

      Thank you Bee

      You are so right , for years I have felt so embarrassed by my crooked feet and bunions that it's unreal for me that I have normal feet now ( or as normal as can be expected). Sometimes I look at them and think are this my feet? I wish everyone the best of luck and quick recovery .

      Me too, hated my poor hurting and ugly feet so much I had real problems taking a "before" shot for myself!! I've only got one lovely new foot so far, I'm 11 weeks post op, go for final check and to arrange other foot op next week. Maybe I'll try and take a photo this week to post, showing one done one not!! Good luck to all.

      Hi Lisa

      I walking ok now , I am wearing trainers a size wider as my feet still swell and I can wear lose sandals . I have started driving with no problem.

      My normal closed toe shoes are tight

      At the moment , so probably another few weeks before I can get my feet on my normal shoes . Of course my feet get tired very quickly and I can manage about an hour of shopping at the moment but no problem moving around in the house and garden .
