Today is the last day. I was prescribed 12 therapy visits and that is going well. I have 4 more visits to go. My foot is still swollen but there is minimal pain. I go back to the doctor on Monday (June 9) and hopefully he will set me free. I had this surgery done on my right foot five years ago and I am pain free today. I am so glad I had it done. Any questions?

Thank you so much for posting this. It's really helpful to me and, if my Fur Posse will give me a break w/vet bills, I may consider having the surgery. (I have terrible health insurance and it's really only good if I have something catastrophic happen. I usually end up paying for most of the medical bills.)
