Recovering from ankle surgery is a journey that requires patience and persistence. After surgery by a foot doctor, your mobility will gradually return, often starting after three months, with most people feeling better by six months. Healing times vary, depending on the severity of your injury and the type of procedure, so follow your doctor's guidance closely. Your ankle may be placed in a cast and you’ll need plenty of rest and elevation to reduce swelling. Using a wheelchair or crutches will help you move while you heal, and physical therapy may be recommended as you begin putting weight back on your foot. Pain and swelling are common, but elevating your foot and taking prescribed medication can help. Proper wound care is essential, including keeping your dressing clean and dry and watching for signs of infection. For answers to your questions and more tips on ankle surgery recovery, visit our website or call our office today.

Foot health plays a big role in a child’s overall well-being, yet it’s easy to overlook. Many children face foot problems, from minor discomfort to more serious issues, but prevention is key to healthy growth, mobility, and a great quality of life. Make sure your kids wear shoes that fit well, leaving a thumb’s width between the longest toe and the shoe’s end, and encourage them to break in new shoes gradually. Good hygiene matters too, so teach your children to wash and thoroughly dry their feet daily, and always wear clean, breathable socks to prevent infections. Physical activity also keeps feet strong and healthy, so encourage activities like walking, running, and outdoor play. A foot doctor can offer advice on proper footwear and foot care habits. Give your kids a head start on lifelong foot health. Visit our website or call for more information today.

💛💙 Meet the President! 💛💙

Today the district introduces you to Brazil Rotary Club President Miranda Goodale, DPM.

Shortly after moving to Indiana from Massachusetts to start her podiatry practice in 2006, she was invited to join Rotary.

Miranda was very pleased to join because she knew Rotary to be an integral part of the local community as well as having a strong international reputation. She has enjoyed being in company with people who care deeply about their community and want to accomplish tangible results for it.

She considers her fellow members part of her family. Miranda served as Club President in 2010-11 with her third daughter being born in August of her presidential year.

She is also currently serving as president of Delta Theta Tau Sorority Alpha Omega Chapter. She plays French horn with the Brazil Concert Band and is a lector and religious education teacher at Annunciation Catholic Church. She lives in Brazil with her husband Jeffrey Etling and their three daughters.
