my doc said today that they just shave a little off the big bunion but moving the bone at the bottom will straighten the toe out?? does this sound right?

Sponsor Maya49 09-22-2003, 06:57 PM Hi Cind, The bunion surgery that I had done consisted of the bunion being shaved, the bone between the bunion and big toe was fractured to align the big toe. Underneath my skin is a "clip" to keep toe in place. Does that help answer your question? You surgery is scheduled soon, isn't it? Is it next week? ------------------ ~~Maya~~ cinderella777 09-23-2003, 12:23 AM Yes it is next week. Kinda nervous. I hope it all goes well. Maya49 09-23-2003, 12:05 PM Hi Cind, Anxiety before your surgery is normal and to be expected. I was actually more nervous in those days, weeks leading up to the surgery and then on the day of the surgery. On the day of the surgery I just was thinking "ok, let's get on with this and get it over" I know its a cliche but, you will do good. Please keep us posted on your recovery, ok? I'll be thinking about you. ------------------ ~~Maya~~ |
