Mid foot fusion op March 2018..........

Hi all.
I found this forum while searching for information on this op. It has been so useful. Many things I had not thought about how you all have coped after this op. I am pretty nervous about it.
I am 59 years young and have Osteoarthritis in my left foot (and other joints) my quality off life has gone downhill over the last 10 years......cannot walk very far at all, about 20 mins max, without excruciating pain, so pretty much stay at home as much as I can. When the consultant told me about this op, after trying multiple other things to help...which didn’t. I thought let’s do it. If it can give 50% less pain I’ll be happy, just to get some normality back.
i have knee problems so not sure if I can use the I-walk device. But maybe the knee walker may help.
any tips on keeping cast / boot cool...I am British, but live in Singapore at average of 30c daily ?? So I know it will be uncomfortable.
thanks again for all your advise

Thank you so much for you’re reply and concerns. I had not thought of an ice machine, but not quite sure what type you mean. Maybe you have a photo or link to a website that stocks them.
