You can walk without a big toe.
Original Medicare is good about paying. If you don't have a secondary or if you are on an advantage plan you may want to change up in the next few months.
to the moderators
Is there a grace program with Mayo for patients to alleviate finance difficulties?

@gently, here is a link to Mayo Clinic's financial assistance program(s), https://www.mayoclinic.org/billing-insurance/financial-assistance.

I'd also like to invite @nursejudith, @bbrebozo, @heyjoe415, @live5today to this discussion as they have all faced a big toe joint replacement, fusion or surgery and may have some insights on their experiences with how they recovered or the difficulties they faced after the surgery.
