Hello Lauri....I'm sorry to hear that you have joined the "Girdlestone" club. It's definitely life altering, but over time, you learn to accept it and live with it. My feet both turn out a little, but more so on the left (affected side). I've always had more of a duck foot walk my entire life I think. I was put in a special boot after surgery to keep my foot/leg from rolling out while in bed. I probably used that for about 8 weeks at night. I think without it, my foot may have turned out more. It's been 2 years since surgery and I feel it is not as bad as in the beginning. I also lost my Vastus Lateralis, Iliotibial Band and part of my gluteal muscle on that side due to necrosis so that leg has a mind of it's own sometimes!!! That's great that you and your husband belong to a gym where you can get some water therapy. Keep me posted how you're doing and if you want to be Facebook friends and private message me that way, I'm fine with that. I only check emails once or twice a week. Take care and I'll be praying for you too!!! Cindy
