Oct 24th I had my surgery, I was very scared because I thought I would wake up in pain or even feel pain during. However I pleased to find out that I over reacted!!! 😂 I felt nothing since the moment I went into the surgery room the staff was very nice and caring they told me how the process was going to go and what I should expect, then they proceeded to put on me a intravenous catheter on a tiny vein in my hand, from then I remembered waking up once but didn't feel pain then went back to sleep, when I woke up they were already placing me in another bed, to allow me to wake up, which happened in the next hour. My surgery lasted about an hour to an hour and a half, while I was waiting in the room to recover from anesthesia they had left the IV fluids on me to help my kidneys drain the drug faster. Then when I was finally recovered my girlfriend helped me to dress and we were out of there me in a wheelchair then in crutches, of course I didn't put any weight on my foot yet, the doctor told me to start putting weight on it the next week. So I did, and at the beginning it was very hard to walk with the fixator mostly because my foot was swollen. The next day I went to the doctor so he can remove the bandages and show me how to turn which I also had to start doing a week after surgery.

The surgery
The fixator is in!

I read in some blogs that it hurts more once you start turning, however so far I have been turning for about 5 days and I have only felt intense pain once, I took a pain killer and I was fine for the whole day. I try to walk and put weight on my foot when I can, since it's still uncomfortable to walk with the device on.
