In June of 2008 I had Bunion surgery on my right foot. When I had my left one done, I was non-weight bearing on crutches for 6 weeks.
However, as things sometimes happen, I was on crutches (NON weight bearing) for 12 weeks since this right foot did not want to heal properly. I did our area shop hop of 12 shops in August on crutches. Yes, it was a pain, but I would not have missed it and had a great time. The people I went with were very accomodating, and so were other people. If I had had one, I would have used a chair...
