Two Broken Heels 7-Jul-2004 At 11:09:49 AM lach

Hi Julian,

I broke the heel bones in both my feet, not sure of the specific part or technical name but can find out if necessary? I had surgery on my left foot four and a half weeks ago. I have a total of 7 screws and three plates holding the bone together. The right was a less severe break and has been left to mend itself.

I am not wearing plasters but have removeable cam walkers. I take these off each day to lightly excercise the joints in my feet and to shake out any numbness. Apart from the above and staying off my feet completly I am not currently doing anything else. I am not seeing anyone for rehabilitation yet but suppose I will be soon (hospital appointed).

My right foot is feeling quite good, no pain or numbness and the swelling is completly down. Left foot is still recovering from surgery and is still a bit sore, swollen and slightly numb in parts. I am guessing it is currently at least three weeks behind the right foot.

Lachlan.
