sesamoidectomy today!

It's done! Under GA for 90 minutes. Told that the bone had not deteriorated, but there were pieces of other bone (not sure where from) floating around. Had local or nerve block in at the ankle, so still no sensation of pain, just a dead foot. I can move my toes though!

In such a sexy post op shoe! At least I can walk to the toilet and get to the kitchen to make a coffee! Just don't tell my husband!

Catch up soon (they closed the old thread down!) Keep me up to date with your progress. I will need in on Wednesday when the pain kicks in!

Juliet

Hey Juliet

Wow so its all over and done with. Now just to master the recovery. Planty of books and movies.

I can't believe you are up and walking aroung to get coffee, thats so awesome. I guess the sexy post-op shoe helps with that. All the best with the recovery. keep us up to date.

Re: sesamoidectomy today!

Hey Juliet!

Congrats on the completion of your surgery! Now the road to recovery lays before you!!

My only caution to you is not to overdo it when you can't feel the pain! I keep remembering the discharge nurse making me walk five or six steps from the wheelchair at the surgery center door to the waiting car. Now, three and a half months later (when i was told it would be a 4-6 week recovery), I'm still having a lot of problems. Is it because I was told to put weight on it an hour after surgery when my doctor said no weight-bearing activities for at least a week? I'll never know. But if you still have no pain due to a local nerve block... be careful! I'd hate for you to end up having complications because you couldn't feel the pain!

Let us know how it continues to go!

Re: sesamoidectomy today!

Hi there.

The nerve block wore off last night!! The post op shoe is a wedge which off loads the forefoot. From the sofa to the toilet or kitchen is now 5 or 6 'hops' and I do not put the affected foot to the floor. I figured that would be the best way to do it!

While I was in hospital there were 2 other girls there having bunionectomies. They were also discharged in a post op shoe, without crutches, on a weight bearing basis. We were all told to elevate the foot for 3 weeks, so that's what I will do.

My husband was at home with me yesterday and shouted at me if I stood up, so today before he left for work he made sure that I have all I need next to me. The only reason I need to get up now is to go to the toilet. Everything is downstairs (save my bed, so I come down while he is here and do not attempt the stairs without him!)

The pain last night was a little bit of an issue, so I took a stronger painkiller than the hospital gave me (they only gave paracetamol and brufen!) and slept really well until I tried to turn over in my sleep, using my bad foot!! I got comfortable again and then went back to sleep!

I will try very hard to 'baby' my foot and not do much at all. Thank you for your kind and caring advice. I do really appreciate it!

Juliet

Re: sesamoidectomy today!

My foot is cold apart from my bug toe which feels warm to the touch. It doen't hurt and the bottom part still feels numb. Should I be worried about the temperature (infection?)
