Personal journey with bilateral plantar fasciitis surgery
I Can Stand!
9Sep2008 Filed under: Immediate Post-Surgery Author: Christina
I’m very excited this evening. I was sitting at my computer for a little bit and I noticed when I stood up that I could put more weight on my left foot. Then I realized that I could evenly split the weight between both feet – meaning I could stand normally! Very excited!! I still can’t quite walk, but it’s a milestone in my recovery that I can stand. Yay!! I’m at about four weeks post-op now.
Tomorrow I am going to a new physical therapist. I wasn’t quite happy with the physical therapist I saw last week. In going through this I must have confidence in those who are working with me and on me. Know what I mean?
I got Shrek III in the mail today from my Blockbuster Online membership so I think I’ll go watch that now. Have a great night!!

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!
