Hey guys, I too would be doing the surgery, but in april. Please let me know if I could pay a visit if you guys are around. I would get operated in Lecco but I plan to stay in Milan for a few days prior.

Btw, is there a psych test too? If so, any idea on what questions are asked and they answers they expect.

Haha seems to be a small gang of us now  External Method with Dr. Pili in Lecco, Italy

Won't be around this April sadly but without a shadow of a doubt surgery within 12 months still trying to figure out what I'm going to do about my job.  External Method with Dr. Pili in Lecco, Italy

I'm not aware of any psychiatric evaluation but I know Guichet required it so it's not out of the realms of possibility.

Guichet psychiatric evaluation looks like a joke. I think that he actually takes everybody if they are aware of risks

Thanks for your concern. It's not a problem for me. I could just take the exam.

I don't think there is a psyche test. Don't worry.

I have already done the surgery and things went pretty well. The surgery requires general anesthesia. When I woke up, there was a hell of pain. However, the pain faded away so quickly that later in the same evening, I did not need painkillers any more. The next day morning, things got ugly. Though the pain was gone, I had sore muscles all around my foot to the extent that I could not gather enough strength to walk. I struggled all day and couldn't go off the bed. During the night, I decided to take a shot of painkillers. I needed to see if it was the pain that got in the way. I did some warming up before going down. The hardest part was to stand up. Though I possibly wouldn't feel anything under painkillers, I could tear my muscle all in a sudden. Then I tried several times until succeeded. I walked around the room happily and even took a bath after that. It all went alright after that.

I wasn't asked to do such exercise. But I think Dr. Pili has his own reason to ask you to do that.
