Post-op Appointment

After what seemed like 10 weeks, I finally had my post-op appointment with my surgeon. It was a really good visit and we received all good news! First, I am four weeks ahead of schedule. Instead of running in 12 weeks, I can now run in 8 weeks which is really exciting! They put me in a new shoe that I can walk in. Now, I am only walking with one crutch because I lost a lot of muscle in my leg and ankle. In one week I am allowed to wear both my tennis shoes. I can also start biking and doing the elliptical when I wear my shoes. I still have some stitches in, but my foot feels really good. I can finally stand in the shower again! It's a lot easier than trying to shower and not get my foot wet. If you are having problems with your sesamoid, I highly recommend this surgery. The recovery process isn't too bad and it is worth it to be pain free!
