Loading ...My operative leg is about 1 cm longer now. I can feel it… like I step upwards on that foot. We will see how it works out as the muscles heal. It’s all about sizing the inserts in the bone. He showed me at the checkup. The next smaller thigh insert would have taken me several cm shorter, which would have been much worse. He gave me the card of a shoe specialist who puts inserts into the soles of the sandals we all wear in Hawaii. But rather than spend the money, I am going to try to ‘homebrew’ one myself by gluing (Shoe Goo) an old flat slipper sole onto one of my better hard-sole sandals. Seems to be about the right height.
I’m just freaking amazed I am getting around this well only two weeks after surgery. Can’t wait for the muscles to heal so I’m not so ‘gimpy’ with better balance later. I’m not worried about the scar. It’s only about 4 inches on the front of the thigh. Won’t show unless I’m wearing speedos. LOL! Not happening! Can’t believe all that hardware went in thru that small cut. 🙂
