When did you first venture out?
Posted , 5 users are following.
OP date was 10th October. Before my OP we arranged a
night out, ticket purchase, this will be at a seated venue
and probably for 2 hours with an interval of 15 mins, not
a long car ride from home so not long sitting in the car.
My main worry is that when I sit with my feet resting on
the floor my legs take on a red/purple colour and start to
ache a bit and feel as though they are swelling. I would
value any advice on whether other
people had these symptoms and what you did, when I
mentioned the outing to the nurse she said it should be
fine but I do worry about any damage caused by the
swelling, do I jiggle my legs every so oftern or not go?

I did phone but the only wheelchair they have is broken!
And if I wanted to sell my ticket back they'd be more
than delighted to buy it.
I was more concerned with doing long term damage to my feet as there does seem to be so many different
kinds of whys and wherefores, whether to try and see
how it goes. I do understand that we all heal differently
but its good to hear other peopes take on things.
my mind has, no doubt like others, over the last few
days gone through many different scenarios regarding
my feet, wondering how much I should and shouldn't
do but I'm good at knowing when enough is enough, it was just the 2 hour thing being away from the safety of
home.
My mind will be at rest once I've had my first dressing
changed and can see that they are, hopefully, doing ok.

like you I have both feet done, glad in a way I chose too,
I also have my little black shoes and crutches.
I'm hopeing that I'll somehow bd able to stretch them
out into the aisle. The one with a cast on is more
bothersome as it feels so restricted.
Stupid thoughts go through my mind... but not once
reading through all the bunion posts on here, and I've
been through some, have I read that someones foot has
fallen off through lack of circulation or has indeed
exploded. These are silly things for some reason I've
feared.

But everyone is different/has different experiences. Good luck with what ever you decide :-)

home if i didn't feel up to staying but it wasn't to bad,
managed to rest my worst leg over hubbys knees to
keep it elevated for most of the time.
I have no plans to venture out anywhere else now until
October 24th when I have my first dressing change.
