Hammer toe & bunion surgery: Experiences?

I've got surgery scheduled at the end of February for a pretty bad hammer toe on my right foot plus a bunion on the same foot. I've had to get Sidi mega shoes for quite some time just to be able to fit it into my shoe. Looks like I'm probably going to have to procedure on the toe where a pin is inserted lengthwise in the toe to facilitate straight healing.

Looking for any feedback on recovery . . . Complications? How long until you got the pin out? Were you able to jury rig any way to use a stationary trainer during recovery? I'm not looking forward to watching my cardio fitness go to heck by spring, but this timing seemed better than missing up to six weeks of "real" cycling season.

Thanks for whatever you can tell me.

BBD
