Surgery and a year later 8/22

Well, it's been just over a year since I've updated this, and a lot has happened.

Lily had surgery on 9/7/16 in Green Bay at Aurora on the east side, with Dr. Limoni.  It went very well for Lily.  She ended up having parts of her bone from the outside of her foot removed and pinned to the inside part of her foot.  Her heel was removed, shaved  a bit, and then attached back on in a different position.  It took about 2.5 hours.  Wake up was hard for Lily, but we finally got to go home about 4 hours after surgery was done.


For several months, Lily complained of pain where some of her hardware was.  We went to see Limoni, and he agreed to remove the troublesome hardware.  On 8/22/17, she had 4 pins and 2 plates removed from the inside of her foot and the top of her foot.  No pain since!  And yes, I did keep the hardware, even though Lily won't even look at it.

Lily tends to feel her hardware when the weather changes. But other than that, her foot is doing great. No pain, and the distortion of the foot seems to be much better.
