i have to get a peroneal tendon repair done 4 days before christmas IDK what to do the surgeon says I will be in a cast for 4 months then physical therapy to teach me how to put pressure on my tendons and work the muscles again I am just nervous I have had surgery befor but never something like this never something that takes almost a yr to recover something that will demobilize me what about my daughter i live in an upstairs apt how will i get her to school and home and take care of her the doctor says that I will not be allowed to walk on it for the first 2 months I am just scared a little bit and worried because the success rate is not all that high to me for this paticualr surgery but I am hoping that I will be able to walk withought the clicking and pain anymore so hopefully it will be well worth it

No family or a friend you can stay with who would be willing to help you out till the cast comes off ? Iam a mother of two grown children and if one of them was having this done I would have them staying with me or me staying with them till the cast came off I would be upset if my daughter did not call me and ask for help they grow up but you never lose the need to be there for them whenever they need you so think about it and ask somebody if you have no body then call adult services and talk to them even if they can not help you they may know who can

it would be a whole lot easier if I lived in a downstairs apt but I have 15 stairs that I climb up and down at least 20 to 30 times a day my daughter says she will help me but she is only 9 and there wont be much that she can do
