I had my surgery on 2 March. It was snowing. Today I tried walking around without the walking boot. As the weather was glorious I was in the garden. I wore a pair of sandals with Velcro straps across the toes and at the ankle. Walking sandals. It was bliss, like " this is the beginning of the end". So if you are feeling trapped, depressed and generally wondering if you will ever be able to walk again, take heart.

I've just got to match up the legs now. One brown one white.

    Hi - I had surgery for bunion and fusion of hammertoe on 3 February this year.  Did my first round of 18 holes of golf yesterday.   Never believed I’d have been able to do that a few months ago!!  Agree don’t despair you get there in the end just do everything you are told👣😁
