That doesn't look that bad at all. I was expecting more bruising and generally more disgusting looking. I think when I broke my foot it brusied worse than that. Good luck with the healing, you should take a multi-mineral supplement, it seemed to speed healing with my own. Also, avoid playing soccer games 2 weeks later, or you might get a nice bunion to deal with the rest of your life.

ow....... that looks painful.... what exactly was wrong with it? Can u still press the accelerator pedal normaly?
I had to have it fuzed, I had a pretty severe bunion (The Army said I had gout, my ASS), moderately severe DJD (Degenerative Joint Disease - Arthritus), and no cartlidge left between the bones of the first joint.

Actually, that is my foot just wrapped up, I took that one to show that my toe is about .5 to .75 inches shorter now.

Well, this IS about 3 weeks later, you should have seen it the first time they unwrapped it.

I have two titanium rods in my right forearm and have yet to set off any courthouse or airport metal detectors.
And believe you me, I've been frequenting the courthouse here....mad.gif

My father has both of his hips done in Titanium, he sets off metal detectors ALL the time. Of course being hips, they already look in the pockets and crotch area for people trying to get stuff through...
He also has spare parts. He is looking at Hip replacement operation number 7 soon. He already has the parts that go into the top of the femur, he wants the cup this time.
