I think I've had similar on both feet, although they didn't call it quite the same - it was a LONG time ago. Basically, the outcomes were pretty good - I had them done as a teenager, I'm 48 now, and although I did need triple arthrodesis a good few years later, and just recently, more surgery on my right ankle, I'm pretty sure the outcome was good.... it's a bit difficult to say after all this time!

Hope you're getting on OK - who did your surgery at Bournemouth?

Glad it's sounding like it's all gone well x

Just have a good rest now, put your feet up with a nice cold beer (taking medications into account of course!!) :D
