Default Will be on Crutches

I decided to finally, after years of pain and problems, have my toenails on my big toes checked out. After i made my appointment last month, my big toe on my right foot started bothering me. Only when i walked, got worse when hiking down hill. Has started to make hiking more difficult and painful. I saw an ortho foot doc yesterday. he took x rays and told me i have arthritis in my big toe joint. I guess it makes sense , i just never thought of it. I was thinking it was some tendon problem, shot of cortisone, good to go. WRONG
Surgery is on June 20th. No weight bearing for 3 days , or the longer the better after that point. About 3 weeks for no driving, no hiking. Just i need to get it fixed as it is only going to get worse. I don't know how long the total healing , using crutches time is, but i will find out soon.
