Grogg,

I had a fibula replacement of my mandible in Jan 09. The swelling of my foot lasted well into the summer. I wore Crocs and would suggest some such shoe which is easily removed when you are not walking around. I tried to keep my leg elevated as much as possible when I was sitting. I always prop my foot up at the table on the leg of the pedestal. You don't have to buy a new dinning table but it would be nice if you could use A foot stool or even another chair. I had a physical therapist come to the house to help with exercises (this was paid by ins). Perhaps your dr could help you get therapy.

I still have a great deal of fatigue but my primary care physician says that it is because my body has been sujected to so much in the past few years. (In addition to all the cancer treatments I had the replacement, recsection of my lip[ and surgical implant for a bladder pacemaker and hospitilization for an infection at the site of the sutures for that.) Also I am a sr. who is not very athletic. I still get very tired easily.
