My Surgeon would not do both feet at once due to the risk of blood clots,

Did anyone else cringe when she was pulling out the wrapping from her toes?

@kalisea thanks chick :)

@ChloeM104 Nope, no crutches--my surgeon didn't want me walking around. I could hobble on my heels just fine, but I kept my feet iced and elevated as much as possible. It really speeds the healing. Good luck; you'll do great :)

@paolagzzgzz You can walk in your walking boots; there's no need for a wheelchair. I hobbled on my heels or scooted on my butt for the first days. After that, the walking boots are fine. Your feet need to be iced and elevated anyway, not wheeling or walking around.

I always thought that Doctor only can make one foot at the time for you be able to walk... but on this case are both at the same time... so I am assuming that she uses a wheelchair to moving around

Wow they look great! I can't believe how minimal the swelling, bleeding and bruising are.
