How do you feel about falling?

@ammaw52 I understand why this would be scary. I wonder if your doctor could connect you with someone who has had this surgery and found it to be successful. I know of some amazing surgeries that have been done- my neighbor had surgery on his foot which involved his heel being removed, the bones being shaved and fit back together. It's been a really long and painful recovery but he's walking now and better than before. Sorry you're going through this.

Thank you for your kindness and compassion.
Dr probably would not give me referces to people that have had this surgery due to hippa. It sure would help if I knew of 1 person that's been thru this. And I wonder at 71 does it matter if I go around with a walker the rest of my life dragging my leg with me. This is a big surgery. The Dr said talk it over with your family, there is no family that even want to talk about it. My heart feels broken. This has not seemed important to them
Thanks for all of the good advice
