Shirley,
My recovery was instant. I was up out of bed the very next DAY! Up and
driving a few days after .… less than a week - I was more concerned than the
Doctor was. When I went to see the Sergon in his office for a follow-up visit,
one week later, I drove. When I told him that the surgery stopped my sweating
he said ".… consider it a bonus, I can't explain why." my only side affect was
my left foot "drops" more than the other, still dose, since 1988 but it doesn't
prevent me from wearing any of my shoes. Bobbie
