Skiing after cheilectomy

This is a follow-up on my last post - I tried skiing today. No problem at all. No pain in the foot. I am not sure if I can say anything else. I did not try skiing before cheilectomy - actually, the stiff shell of the ski boot may be offering the best protection for the damaged joint.

Scar after cheilectomy

It has been 6 months now, and - so far - I am very happy with the outcome. There is very little residual pain, not interfering with any activities - long distance running, walking, digging in the garden, or whatever this could be. The only time I was reminded I had a problem with the foot was while putting a winter boot on - having to bend my big toe to get the boot on causes some inconvenience, but it absolutely nothing compared to what it used to be. This week I am going to try skiing - this should be fine as long as soon as I get the boot on....

I do not care about the scar, but I have seen some searches pointing to this blog, so I am posting some photos below.

(don't tell me you do not like my hairy feet,  ha ha ha)
