Judy, I did see a ortho surgeon but not certain if he specialized in sports 
injuries.   He was relatively young and is a member of the best know ortho 
group in Des Moines.

He said I would not be able to garden for 4 wks.   My mother & my husband 
have had surgery and were down for only a short time. I ask if he had suggestions 
to help me to sleep and he said to stay off my feet during the day.   I am 
sure that will not happen.

He did not mention a brace nor anything other than the surgery.   Fortunately 
I do not kneel to garden but bend at the waist.   I will let you know what 
happens.   Thanks for the suggestions.
