In a few weeks I’ll have another X-ray done on my foot to guide the surgeon.

After that point, I’ll have a few pre-operative consults (one with the surgeon at the facility, the other with the doctor who is personally responsible for the care of my foot… if it sounds anything as confusing as it was when it was first explained to me, our understanding of it at least at the time is similar). Then I’ll have my foot operated on. I’ll have three more consults after that point to monitor healing, but it’s nowhere near as extensive as this post may make it sound, the actual operation… and that’s when I focus on healing to restore the ability to walk normally. The only thing that surprises me about all of this will be the fact that it will have taken just under six months for me to get in with a podiatrist to have a clearly foot operated on.
