. They had to break both my big toes and shave off the bones and I have steel pins in both feet. I went in as an outpatient, was there all day. Wore those funny looking orange boots home with crutches, basically had to sit on my butt to go up and down the stair, but 4 months later, i actually had heels on the first time in 10 years, and danced at my sons wedding. For years, I could not wear any kind of closed shoes or boots beccause the pain was so bad. I have never regretted the decision to have it done all at once. The first week is rough, and you look like you have pig feet, but recovery is pretty rapid. Good Luck[/quote]
Ouch, that sounds painful. Knew there was a reason why I was waiting. I had hoped by now they would be using a laser .
