They reattached a muscle in my  right foot so I would walk flat on  
the sole but they also had to remove a bone that had grown crooked  
because the spastic muscle had pulled the growing bone the wrong way  
- at least that's how it was explained to me at the time. (I'm sure  
Beth would be able to explain it better than I) - it wasn't exactly  
the same thing as cutting a tendon but I have to tell you, it only  
made things worse in the long run - my foot was weakened and my  
balance got worse.
