I had severe correction of the foot due to bunions on May 28. I need to have the same surgery on the other foot. I cannot put weight on the foot for 8 full weeks post-op. I would like to have the other foot corrected as soon as possible, and as I am out in the summer, I would like to get it done before I am due back to work. Is this possible, or should I wait a specific length of time before having the other foot done. I do not want another full summer of immobility, like this summer. What do Dr.'s recommend???? My orthopedic surgeon stated he would do it as soon as I want, after walking on my corrected foot.
If I get it done as soon as I can walk, will that be too hard on the corrected foot. This one will also be another 8 weeks non-weight bearing, so I will have to use the other foot with a knee walker for support for the incapacitated foot. I will also have to go back to work, ASAP post-op, which I did not have to do with the first one. What is your suggestion???
Thank you
