Challenging for you: Difficult to keep the surgery area dry and safe, prolonged swelling in both feet as unable to stay off both at the same time usually.

Would be difficult: With both feet out of commission during the recuperation, this would be difficult. I discourage my patients from having this done. Keep in mind depending on the type of bunionectomy and hammertoe repair performed, there is on average a 6-8 week healing period for any bone work but with lower extremity surgery, particularly in the foot, the added issues with swelling are due to dependent position.
