Well here I am 2 weeks post-op after having major reconstruction surgery on my right foot.  My Ortho had to shorten the bones on all of my toes, fuse 3 joints and fix tendons and some other lovely things.  He shaved and cleaned all of the joints and made them look exra nice like normal little toes of a normal woman.

 

Yesterday, they took about 50+ stitches out and next week they will take out the rest of them.  It was very painful.  My foot is extremely swollen and sore.

 

I am glad it is done and I can already see the difference.  My toes are straight and look good so far.  I will have to go there every week for the next couple of months and I have a slow road to recovery..

 

I know that in 6 months I will have to do it all over ago on the other foot. lol

 

My life as a survivor of RA..lol
