Thanks for all the pros and cons. I used to be extremly active until I fell and broke my ankle skiing...Its been one break after another since 1992. Broken both ankles and feet at least once. Ive been a Flightattendant for almost 40 years so my feet are evrything to me. I cant stand the pain anymore after trying everything , so on Set 11 th Ill join you all in Joint fushion. Dr Pepper Toomey at Swedish is my Dr of choice. 5 joint fushions and bone marrow taken from my hip. He says 2 months non wieght bearing 4 more to recover...Ill come back to fly for 1 month then go off on another medical to do the other foot. Financially this will set me back about $40,000....I have no choice..Im only 59!!!! Too young for retirement and I still love to fly. Please keep your fingers crosses.. It sounds like alot of pain ahead, but Im not new to pain. The stitches experience sounds AWFUL!!!! Ill be sure to be properly medicated LOL Wish me luck Ill be intouch
