Personal journey with bilateral plantar fasciitis surgery
Recoverying From Today’s Surgery – August 12, 2008
12Aug2008 Filed under: Immediate Post-Surgery Author: MomThis is Christina’s Mom, Judi, giving you an update on her (left foot) surgery today.
Christina came through like a champ! We went in at 6:15 am, we were home by 11:00 am.
Thank God, she has a minimum amount of pain.
We are keeping very busy keeping ice on the incision area – 30 minutes on, 15 minutes off. This is to be done for a week. After a few hours, we’ve gotten our routine down. 
She is in good spirits and sleeping a lot.
Her focus for the next 7 days will be to keep the swelling down by keeping all weight off of her foot, to keep it elevated above her heart, and to keep it iced.
She asked me to thank you for your good thoughts, prayers, and support during this surgery and recovery period.

About this blog
When I started thinking about having surgery for my plantar fasciitis I spent hours researching online. I could only find one personal experience with plantar fasciotomy and it hadn't been updated in a long time.
So I thought I'd chronicle my journey from beginning to end and post updates as time goes on as to how well the surgeries worked for me. I'll be having two - one surgery for each foot. I have bilateral plantar fasciitis.
I also created this blog so that my family, friends, associates and clients could easily check my progress and chat with me during recovery.
So if you're visiting this blog way after I've had surgery, I hope the information you find here helps. If you're one of my family members, friends, associates or clients, I hope you'll post lots of comments because your support will keep me going strong through post-op recovery.
Regardless of when you stop by, I'm glad you're here!

Thanks for letting us know Judi! I’m glad to hear it went well. My Uncle’s hip surgery went well also. I knew it was a good surgery date.

Hi Christina,
So glad to read you are doing well and with all of Mom’s TLC you will have special time together and speedy healing. If you are a sports fan (like me) you can be enjoying the Olympics. Many thanks to your Mom, Judi, for all she is doing.
Blessings, Carolyn

It was a good surgery date! I’m so glad that your uncle’s surgery went well too. That is great news!
Thank you, Carolyn. I have been able to enjoy some of the Olympics. In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever been able to enjoy so much of it.

Oh you lucky dog watching the olympics. Hubby and I would go to bed past 2am because we are so addicted to it. Time for us to get back to regular hours, whatever that is
