I always get my annual checkup with my primary care doctor during the month of my birthday so it’s easy to remember when to go. I’ve had all kinds of orthopedic problems my whole life. At 16 I had my first bunionectomy. My bone did not heal correctly which led to 7 other revision surgery’s on my left foot alone but in the end they fused the big tie and I was sentenced to flat heel shoes the rest of my life. I’ve had bunions removed from my right foot, carpal tunnel surgeries left and right and again 30 years later. Arthritis is taking over my body. I’ve had multiple fusions on my spine, tight rope wires in my hands and now, this.
