I have told my family and close relatives about the surgery today. As expected, they were shocked, but after a longer conversation, they even offert me their help for the time after the surgery:)

Could you discuss the cost and living arrangements?

Also, I'm assuming you are getting stryde not precise?

Costs are about the same as betz for stryde (with nail removal)
I will only stay for about 1 week at the hospital after the surgery before returning home. I took of work for 3 months.
But I think I will have to return once a week to Dr Köhne for xrays in the beginning.

Here are some drugs I ve had to buy before surgery (just for the case):
On the left: thrombosis injections
In the middle: all sorts of painkiller
On the right: muscle relaxant and sleep aid (which Ive got prescribed by another doctor)
