Foot surgery is not like a sprain, I know -- but walking casts and cons are a terrible temptation to overdo, and that works for both causes of the problem. Overdoing leads to swelling, pain, and much less enjoyment of the con. Others have mentioned that it can also impact further healing. At a con during the recovery process I found myself on my hotel-room bed watching the masquerade on tv instead of being surrounded by my friends. It's not nearly as much fun that way!

Have a great time -- use wheels! And carry a pillow for propping yourself up when it's possible.
