I had a fusion done in 2006 and it was life changing. Could not be happier. I went from being in tears when I got into my bed and starting up again once my foot hit the floor. Now Besides being able to do just about everything I want to do, still am working 12.5 hour shifts when need on my feet. I have had some bad days here and there, but it is nothing compared to all the good days that I've gotten out of this. I now need to have a fusion done on my other ankle, and am trying to hold off as long as possible. But I feel I am again starting to lose my quality of life as I did prior to having my first ankle done. The thing holding back the most is the recovery time. I now Know that I just can't jump up and go, and it drives me to wait. I feel it comes down to what you want for yourself and your quality of life. Sit and take the drugs or go out there and dance your dance. I know which one I choose. I am not a candidate for a replacement.
