So he was fine with my reasons for wanting to do surgery rather than 8
weeks of the boot. The surgery after care is 4 days of cast, then 4 weeks
of the boot. During the 4 weeks I can act normally except like no long
hikes and stuff.
However.
For the 4 days after the surgery he wants me in bed with my foot elevated
and iced at all times except for like trips to the bathroom.
That's a pretty monumental disruption for us. If people would rather I do 8
weeks of the boot, I'd certainly understand and would comply. Success rate
for the boot is about 80%, I'm just worried I'd just re-tear the thing.
If I can do the surgery, we need to pick a date. He normally does them on
Thursdays, and then the cast comes off on Monday.
