Surgery day , oh boy.

[1967coronet]

Well it's here, going in this early AM to Des Moines for my big toe joint fusion.
Bad part is the no weight on that foot for a few weeks,
Glad I am getting it done, the cortisone injections only last a couple months at this point.
Wonder if they use torx or Phillips lol , I will have to ask.
Catch you guys later.

Good luck, hope you have some cute nurses taken care of you.

Gotta ask, why a joint fusion on your big toe? Arthritis?

 

[Richard Cranium]

Yep, Arthritis and thanks. They told me there is a replacment joint but I have let. It go to long.
I got a second opinion and that Dr. said the same thing.
I've watched a couple U tubes vids on it and it seems most everyone gets along ok after it's healed up.

Yeah, that's what the doctors use in Canada. I have a couple of knees full of them. Whenever I travel to U.S., I make sure to pack my Robertson screw driver set, just in case I have trouble with one while I'm down there. LOL

Good luck. Refrain from kicking *** for a while.

All the best with your surgery and recovery. Have 10 screws in my neck, some mornings feel like they might have installed these:

Try to enjoy some time off your foot/feet, let others wait on you. Then get back on your foot
