Darren Finley replied to Darren Finley's discussion Plantar Release Surgery"Cheers folks,

T. D. Sharkey replied to Darren Finley's discussion Plantar Release Surgery"And also, well, let's be frank, using the toilet and all that will be much easier if you are on crutches with one good foot."
Caroline Hall replied to Darren Finley's discussion Plantar Release Surgery"T.D.Sharkey-exactly! You need one non-surgical foot for sure! And barefoot isn't good."
T. D. Sharkey replied to Darren Finley's discussion Plantar Release Surgery"Woah, yeah, I would not do both at once.
