Guest guest Posted September 8, 2004 Report Share Posted September 8, 2004 Well after those dreadful blisters, I simply took the shoes off on Friday morning, and refused to put them back on. I was in quite a dilemma, as I know the feet can relapse so quickly. I managed to get hold of Dr. F. and he said I could leave the shoes off, and come in on Tuesday, which I did. He came to the same conclusion I had come to: his feet are not fully corrected. He has very stiff feet, has had from the beginning, and the tenotomy did not give him full correction. Now he wants to do another tenotomy, but this time under anaesthetic. The reason he wants to do it this way is that he needs to make a slightly larger incision, so that he can see more clearly what is going on, and also he doesn't want to be crying and kicking while he is trying to work on him. We are scheduled to go in on Wednesday morning. He did say that he could recast the feet, instead of doing the heel release, but feels that has been through enough, as this has been so tough on him already. He has also ordered him different shoes - is ordering them from Iowa, although I have no idea what the shoes are, or how they differ from those that I already have. I am hoping that this is the best course of action for my little guy. Wish I could check with Dr. P. himself. and 06/24/04 bcc (and for this week, barefoot!)
