I had triple arthrodesis in april of this year. It's been a long recovery. I was in the hospital overnight, left the next day. I stayed with my mom for 9 days. I really needed help all the time for the first 5 days...probably could have gone home after that. BUT...for the first 9 weeks I couldn't cook, clean or do any laundry on my own. It's impossible to completely take care of yourself on your own. You basically need to be seated at all times and when you are up you are completely physically exhausted. 4 months post op I started feeling a lot better. Still, 7.5 months later I feel like i still have a lot more recovery to do. However, I'm having my second foot done a week from Friday. Even though I still have some pain and aching in my post-surgery foot, I'm SO glad I did it and feel like I'm well on the way being fully healed.
