Wear good shoes and go barefoot a lot so the bunions don't come back!Bunionectomy surgery that I had what like 10 years ago. Shit....... man time flies.
what it looked like a few years later.
I usually keep my toenails cut short, not sure why I didn't cut them prior to surgery or before the last photo.

Here's some good foot exercises

Both my big toes have locked up due to scar tissue. I can't bend them down and bending upwards is minimal.

My Datsun ran out of electricity at the cruise night tonight, because I forgot to leave it on the battery tender.
So, while I was pulling it out of the parking space by hand, my infected finger opened up and leaked pus all over my clean paint.

I have some pretty gnar gnar bunions and I've thought about trying to get them fixed, but I've heard mixed reviews wrt whether it got better or worse afterward
Oh no, can you do some toe stretches and loosen them up? Big toes are v important for balance.

Hmm I like the name Viking's Toe better. Do you use a little pad under your first metatarsal? It's supposed to help. With your height, you don't want foot problems in your old age.
I'll dig around for a before photo. My bunions were 20 degrees or more from being straight, which was very noticeable and painful. Getting shoes that fit was the worst part. I'm happy I had both feet fixed. I didn't do the exercises post surgery so that's why the joint locked up with scar tissue. It hurt wayyyyy to much to bend like a week afterwards.

Woo, got lab results back on the shit they squeezed out of my finger. It's staph, but not MRSA.

Unfortunately I actually broke the next toe over so it hurts like a bitch if I do that. I went and saw an actual doctor because it's my big toe and not one of those minor ones. I saw the xray of the break and all. It's pretty significant and right at the joint, which could be a problem because the bones could move around and not stay set right, so they put me in a boot. Fun times. 4-6 weeks.
