Tie shoes?

Good morning,
Yet another question has popped in my brain. Will I be able to tie my shoes anytime soon after a VH? I wear athletic shoes with supports in them for flat feet and usually tie they quite tight to keep secure on my feet. Should I just plan on flip flops and slippers for awhile?

I am 10 days post op and I still can not tie my shoes. I think the slippers and flip flops would be best. (((())))

uh-oh! I'n in trouble! I wear 95% of the time heels.. and maybe 1% sneakers... then barefoot... I dont think i will be able to stand my heels after surgery.. and sneakers is out of the question.. what am i going to wear when i get out of the hospital????

I found bending or stooping very difficult at first after my surgery. I wore slide on slippers home from the hospital and for a couple of weeks afterwards.

NY still have snow on the sidewalks! LOL.. it will be fun me getting out of the hospital with my tiger-paw with gold manicure sleepers!

It is still cold here in CHicago. Looks like I am going to have cold piggies for awhile!

Everyone is different, but I put on my own socks and shoes and tied the shoes before I left the hospital. I sat on the edge of the hospital bed and brought my foot up to where I could reach it. (I had a TAH, not a VH.)

I bought slip on tennis shoes, but I was able to tie my shoes by bringing my foot up to me a couple of days after I got home, and I had a TAH/BSO, so i would think you could. but everyone is differant
