Personal journey with bilateral plantar fasciitis surgery
Hey there!
I’m just about ready for the second surgery (right foot this time) and do I have some news. I may just have some pics from the actual surgery to post afterward. That’ll be neat for you and me.
I’m headed to San Francisco tomorrow afternoon. I think I might just pay the seals hanging out at Fisherman’s Wharf a visit. For now I still have a few things to do so I better get to it. I’m looking forward to having the surgery and getting into recovery. It’s time for these feet to heal!
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!

Actually, I think they are sea lions. I don’t know why I said seals. Oh well. At Pier 39 the sea lions come up and hang out in the sun. It’ll be a quick trip because I don’t want to walk too much and cause any swelling right before surgery. That wouldn’t be good.
I’m just about ready to head out, but have a couple of more things to do. Have a great week my friend!!
