It’s been hard. I’m a 20 year old young woman who has never worn sandals. It’s my dream and it’s becoming a reality. Some girls dream about their wedding day, I wanted new feet. Luckily I found a surgeon in orlando to perform the surgery and I had a job whose insurance plan covered the $52,431.51 tab (thats is just for my left foot!).

Which type of surgery did you do? I'm doing an external fixation on my left ft. I had the surgery 2 wks ago tomorrow. I have so many questions if you've had the same surgery.

That's great that you finally had the surgery!
This is my dream for 10 years now... my life evolves around getting this dream to come true.
It's very expensive and unfortunattly I don't have insurance as I don't live in the USA.
How did the surgery go?
Did you get a graft or an external fixator?
