Good to hear. Hope everything continues to work out in your favor. Stay positive.

Good to hear about your new heel option! I hope this works out great.

It's very interesting that this can be done at all. What a neat time we live in.

Awesome....Good luck...After having 4 surgeries on knees and ankles. Rehab is the key. Stay up and quick recovery

Well it's surgery +2 weeks and things are moving slow. The site that they harvested the skin from has finally shed, so it's good. The spot that they took the muscle from (basically crotch to knee ) is still a little sore, and I have stupid drains in there... which sucks. The heel itself is ugly, but they always start like that I guess. There will be at least one more surgery on the foot to re-shape it once they are sure it takes. Still lookin at more than a year before I'm walking. Might still need bone graft on the tibia. I'm attaching some pics, but they're a little graphic... you've been warned.
