Im getting a bunionectomy next week and I've found mixed info about whether I'm sleeping in the boot/brace I leave the hospital with, and for how long. I'm a little eeked about the idea of putting the same foam or flocked material that's been in and out of the car and elements in between my sheets at night. It doesn't matter how sedentary or active I've been- normally I remove the clothing I wore all day before going to bed. It sounds silly to get hung up on, but I am.

Can/should I get a second brace that can be my sleep brace? What would I be looking for in my shopping? Something that shields the big toe? A 90° heel bend? If anyone has specific suggestions, please let me know. Thanks!
