Divas,
I am facing foot surgery at the end of August. I have too much bone and not enough cartilage in my major metatarsal joint. My podiatrist gave me three options; clean up the joint and hope for the best down the road, partial joint replacement or fusion of the joint. I opted for the first - clean it up and hope for the best. The other two options were way scarier.
Anybody ever heard of these surgeries? Any experience with recovery times etc? Any suggestions for keeping in shape while I recuperate over a longish period of time?
I have a scheduled 6-8 week ski trip starting mid-January and really want to actually be able to ski!
