grand unveiling
Posted , 6 users are following.
It's been 11days since my bilateral scarf and akin osteotomy (double bunion open) and tomorrow is the grand unveiling. I'm a bit nervous as I'm not sure what to expect but also weirdly excited at the prospect of seeing my feet again and I am planning to take a photo to record the progress.
From what I have read, most of you seem to have gone back to the hospital to have dressings changed but I'm just going to the practice nurse at my GP surgery.
I assume that I'll have another dressing put on but I'm not sure what happens after that.
I don't see the consultant until 4th September.
Do I continue to wear the special shoes?
Do I try to put more weight on my feet?
Do I still need to elevate?
Has anyone else been given any follow on advice?

I had my plaster and dressing off on Monday after 12 days and my surgeon has but me in toe straps for 4 weeks and I still have to wear the shoes for the same time. But he did say if I didn't wear then 24/7 he would put me back in plaster. I am really pleased but it may also depend on what type of surgery you have as my neighbour had one of her feet done and she was in a slipper cast .
I had two scarf with screws in both feet 😳
