    Heather and Bev it's very true. It's more scary thinking about it before having surgery. For me I was over the moon at first when I found out I was actually having it done because I'd wanted it for years. Then as the days got closer I started getting anxious and nervous. Then when I'd actually had it done I couldn't believe it. It was over. Then it's the post op I had to worry about. But you guys will be fine. Just think about your new feet. Wow!!!wink

      Thank you Jazzy for your encouragement.  You are always so positive about your experience, its uplifting.   Mine all seems to be a bit of a rush, so am having to head my head round it all.   The Bunion appeared and made its presence known quite suddenly.  My GP referred me to a consultant very quickly and I was given 5 December as my op date or earlier if a cancellation becomes available.  Guess thats lucky in a way.  Will be mighty glad to get it over and done with.
