Hey all, I have great news for all of you! First off I want to say, that I read posts on this article and others, and it got me very anxious that my surgery could lead to similar things. Luckily, I stayed positive and set goals for things unrelated to my surgery based on business and life goals and ambitions.
I stayed positive with how the surgery would turn out also. I egg shell fractured my calcaneous bone, and they said this surgery was necessary ( I fell off of a deck.)
I was 22 when it happened and 24 now. I made sure to stay positive and juice a lot of veggies and fruits, before and after surgery. The surgery went well, and I was brought into recovery.
I tried not to take any pain killers as I was not in much pain, but the anesthetics did run out, and I started to feel a lot of pain, so I had to take some oxy-codeine. I'd suggest taking them before it hurts too much. Listening to Jack Johnson also helped sway the pain.
After surgery I went through physical therapy, wore a boot, and did the normal things. I have stayed positive, and just kept it at that. Working as hard as possible at my recovery. Now, it's 2 1/2 years later, and I can still run a 6 minute mile, and snowboard just as good as I use to.
Please stay positive, and set goals for yourself. Life is good!
