Hello,
As the surgery is not that big, you should be discharged 2 days post surgery and dressing for up to a week depending upon the wound healing and that's it. You should do well.
To regain full function of the foot after the wound healing is completed maybe 10-15 days it may take as the pain will take some time to come down and muscle strength will return.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
