Hey guys its 12:25 here and I need some rest! But I wanted to share especially with Stace my pics. I am 3 1/2 weeks after surgery and this is what it looks like.

Thank you for sharing as well! Yeah this is day two of my own personal physical therapy aka hell. It hurts so bad that my stomache gets all upset just before I know I have to do it and I feel like I'm going to throw up the whole time. Why the hell did I have to be "blessed" with this foot issue. I am still supposed to do the other foot except now I am terrified!

What made you go to the doctor in the first place? Were your feet just sore a lot? Do you have a before surgery pic?

My "bunion" was in my big toe joint, so honestly my feet look no different now aside from a scar

Oh be glad you don't have pins holding your bone together now. Mine are likely to free themselves and they will have re-open it. They often don't hold with my surgery. EEEP. I fear this.

I have a titanium screw not sure how much this is different. I have heard many times the body rejects it and it has to be taken out eventually. I fear this too! A good friend of mine's foot kept continually swelling and she had to have the pins/screw removed. On the bright side I hear that the pin removal is much less painful and invasive just a small quick procedure. You do have to have the same kind of anesthesia but they aren't cutting through bone or anything like that so its much different.

My foot is still VERY swollen so I don't know whats going to happen.
