FHL Tendon Transfer
Last Thursday I had a second Achilles repair operation and this time was a debridement of my old Achilles, removal of bone spurs, and transfer of FHL Tendon (from big toe). 5 days later feeling ok… just uncomfortable and cannot wait to move around more! I highly recommend getting a nerve block to anyone getting any type of orthopedic operation done. This was a major contributor to my fast recovery. I went into the hospital at 8:20, in the operating room at 9:45, woke up at 1:30 and left the hospital at 3:30. Record time for me!! I am already able to move all of my toes and was relieved to see that I still have control over my big toe, as though nothing has changed! Will post more updates as I progress through my recovery… Hope all of you who have had Achilles operations get through this difficult situation in our lives with patience and courage… we are very brave people!!
