Good Outcome

First.... I want to thank everyone on this board.....I have learned so much from all of you in preparation for my triple arthrodesis surgery. I had my surgery this Monday and all went very well. One really bad day /night and now I am up and about....pain meds only mid day and before bed. I live in a quad level house that makes moving indoors a challenge. I was very active prior to surgery even with the pain..so struggling to move around is frustrating...but I am determined to so.

I feel for so many of you who have to face such terrible problerms ...but wanted to post a postive result for others facing this type of surgery. Sometimes things go very well.... hopefully I am not the exception

Re: Good Outcome

Hi, I am new to HealthBoard. I am having a Triple Arthrodesis on June 11 and am scared to death about the whole thing. I have been reading and rereading all the posts about it and learning alot from this forum. My doctor says I will be NWB for 8 weeks. I'm unclear about what happens after that and if I will be able to return to teaching when school starts up the last week of August.

Re: Good Outcome

Dotty00. Glad to hear you are doing well. I also live in a multi-level home and ended up choosing my fam. rm level close to bathroom, my office, and the garage to make my new home for a few weeks. It worked well for me and I was lucky to have help the first two weeks. You will learn all kinds of new tricks to get around and up and down stairs safely. Even though it is a long recup. each day is better then the last and 1 more day closer to walking. Good luck. Mar

Kathall, I wish I had found these boards prior to my surgery - they are very helpful. I had my surgery March 12th and am now out of a cast and in a walking boot. After 8 weeks my Dr. took x-rays and was pleased with healing so I am able to put some weight on my foot and am upright and walking with crutches and/or a walker. I would probably venture to say that at 8 weeks you will not be going back to school. Is this your right foot or left foot? If it is your right foot you will not be able to drive until you are out of your boot. I am at almost 10 wks and can't put full weight on my foot yet and still get swelling and tired after "crutching" around all day. Next step is to get back into a shoe and then I will start PT. The surgery is not bad - you will have pain meds for pain management and you will be surprised at how quickly you will be feeling better. Good luck and all the people on these boards can relate and will share such good ideas and support you in getting better. Take care, Mar
