I am 69 years old if that makes a difference.  I had injury to a second toe that had previously been repaired for hammertoe.  This repair surgery was 68 days ago and while it sometimes looks normal, mostly it looks like a boiled sausage, is this normal and long does it last?  It swells by the end of the day and I'm still unable to wear a closed shoe.  What should I expect as a normal recovery period.
