tkrfail21, I'm delaying bunion surgery. But my braver sister had it done on both feet. I was with her throughout and she took no pain medication and had no complications. She had to stay off her feet for two weeks. And was supposed to keep them elevated for 80% of the time the first week and 50% of the time the second week. She was given PT for a month following. It's funny how many ways there are to exercise your feet. Her feet are now quite pretty, for feet.
Your feet look nice, your bunion doesn't look very big, but at some point we don't have a choice.
I hope you have luck. If you have a sister invite her over for a couple of weeks.
