"Operation on my left foot"

About: Holme Valley Memorial Hospital / Day surgery

(as the patient),

In January I had my left foot operated on at Holme Valley Memorial Hospital at Holmfirth. It was called 5th metatarsal scarf osteotomy. I had lots of injections to numb my foot, I did not feel a thing. The surgeon who performed my operation did a very neat job on my foot, I had my stiches out 2 weeks later. Still in alot of pain but its only 2 weeks since I had my op.
