    well…im sure the style of surgery has changed throughout the years, and my case was pretty severe…do ur arches touch the floor and bruise? they had to shave many bones in my foot, move bones around, and they also put a Z-cut in my achilles tendon to lengthen it…maybe its different for u? i dont remember how long i had the cast on, but yes, i lost all of my muscle and couldn’t walk at all…my leg was so skinny compared to the other…it was very scary to not be able to walk…i remember falling alot in rehab because i told myself it was all in my head and i could walk…like in kill bill…you can do it, wiggle ur toes…haha…i hope your case is better than mine was…and i hope i didnt scare u!!! i only meant to prepare u!! XO

    LOL, it’s ok I’m not scared, just really shocked at your story. I think your case was more severe then mine and there are some differences in what I’m having done as opposed to what you had done.

    I don’t need the achilles tendon lengthening because I have enough flexibility in my achillies tendon (they think that some of that flexibility may be part of the problem) already so I won’t have that done. I am not having any bones shaved or cut, he’s inserting an artifical bone type wedge into my foot (he can explain it to you better then I can LOL) that’s going to naturally recreate my arch and be held in place with tension. There’s a possibility he may have to do a second procedure that involves placing screws into my heel but he will decide that while he’s in there but there won’t be any rearranging of bones. Your procedure sounds very aggressive https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif is that foot better at least?

    Funny you mention Kill Bill because that’s the first thing I thought of when you mentioned falling down and having to learn to walk again LOL. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif

    omg, i haven’t been on the site in awhile, well more like lurking here and there because of school and stuff, but now im trying to be back- sissybuns you poor little thing! im so so sorry that you’ve been in such pain all this time and you’ve been such a trooper about it too by hardly complaining at all when you’ve been hurting so badly https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif im so happy that you’re finally getting answers, how scary and frustratng that must have been when the first doctor just shrugged. im so happy that you’re gonna be alright; maybe there will be some recovery time but now theres hope for a painLESS life!! (btw, im so excited to meet you at the jam!!)

    I’m so excited to meet you too!!! I actually could have had my surgery scheduled way earlier, but I wanted to be able to walk at the Jam LOL. So I’m doing it after that. The jam is going to be my grand finale before I go under the knife! A great way to go out on a high note, I think https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif .

    awww!!! that’s awesome! like one last party before your surgery….and if it makes you feel any better, i haven’t been on my pole in like 2 months because of my ceiling,but i brought it back home with me for thanksgiving break. i was afraid id forgotten everything and lost all my strength but i hopped right back on. maybe was a little rusty but not as bad as i thought it’d be…..i hope the same happens for you, no worries https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif
