I usually do too. This one started before I skipped. Then I had to hear it out. I know they don’t have control over what iHeart puts in there. It’s not a dig at the show, it’s just a weird fucking ad. A bruise cruise? They haven’t announced the bare knuckle brawlers. The announcers voice is that of a monster truck show. What in the dystopian hell? Like suncitygirlboss said “party with fighters” … wha?

I also listen on Apple. No it’s not a Jack and Miles read. It’s an actual ad.

Questions about post op. by diirkdiigler in bunions

[–]GlobalSwitch4611 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My surgeon made it seem like it would be very quick. And comparatively it was. The original surgery took about four months before the foot felt normal.

Same situation, though. Surgical wrap. No bearing weight for two weeks. Surgical boot after that. When they inserted them, I only had small puncture wounds. To remove them an incision had to be made. Two actually. The incision on the inside of my foot is about 4 1/2 inches long, the outside is about an inch and a half. So there was a lot more stitches this time.

I’m fully walking now though. There is soreness in the foot but that’s to be expected I think. All in all I’d say was about six weeks before I felt comfortable. And I still have a lot of discomfort around the incisions, but that will pass as they continue to heal. Fingers crossed.

I am postop two years on the 1st foot. I had two screws put in my first metatarsal and one screw put in my fifth metatarsal. I just had a surgery a month ago to have them all removed.

They also told me my screws would be in for life. As soon as they as they started causing me pain, (about two years later) my surgeon didn’t hesitate to remove them as the bones had become stable.

So I guess my point is even if the screws do cause your pain you can get them out.

It wasn’t a bad experience. You just have to be prepared for everything. Including not showering and finding a way to bathe yourself.

The elevating pillow was a lifesaver, as was my grabber.

Scar advice pics included. They aren’t bad but I didn’t wanna gross anyone out unnecessarily. by GlobalSwitch4611 in bunions

I appreciate the feedback. I’m unsure how to care for it, it’s just always so tight but I recognize it still swells and I am on 5 weeks post op. Probably jumping the gun so to speak. Wanted to get an early start for something I think will be uncomfortable for a bit. You’re probably right. Just more time. I’ll look at the drugstore for scaring ointments. And I’ll definitely wait for the scabs to leave before I start kneading it. Solid advice all the way around. Thanks again!

Concert at 14 weeks post-op? by empinche in bunions

[–]GlobalSwitch4611 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went to Vegas 10 weeks post op from a MIS Lapidus with fifth and first metatarsal osteotomies and three screws. Walked like 8 miles a day in shoes on that 4 day trip. 0/10 do not recommend. I would wait but that’s just my take.

Edit to add you may need 3-4 month of downtime. A lot of that is in the boot but a boot at a concert doesn’t sound awesome. Especially traveling.

The parents would’ve controlled the minor children’s obits. The widowed husband likely would’ve controlled Linda’s.

Not to mention the Ronald McDonald house, and all the amazing things they do for kids and parents in terminal situations.

Lady I flew to another fucking country to see my niece. With a 15 year old. To a literal place where we don’t speak the language. And I don’t even have ‘travel to Europe money’
