I am scheduled to have a gastrocnemius tendon lengthening before christmas and I will be in a cast for at least 6 weeks. I’m worried as I am moving to live in uni soon so I will be living in halls when I have the op. Not only that but my room is at the top of four flights of stairs. After the op on one leg, they are then going to do it on the other leg so all in all I’m gonna be on crutches for about five months. I was just wondering if anyone had had an op like this and could let me know what to expect as I’m quite worried.
