a week in a medical shoe, and six weeks in a rocker bottom shoe. Regular shoes as tolerable after that.
At first my Ortho wanted to fuse my toe, but I wasn't having it. I was adamant that if I couldn't wear heels after recovery, I wasn't doing surgery. Mind you, the one joint doesn't bend now, and I still wear 2.75" heels every day, and pretty much all day. He had me walk around the room in my heels, and then agreed not to fuse it. Instead he's going to put in synthetic cartilage. He said I should be able to wear heels in three months depending on how fast I mend.
