21. My first reaction wouldn't be a good idea, but it might lead to one.

It was to get her in touch with that group I can't remember the name of that matched people with other people whose feet do not use the same size shoe. I say it isn't a good idea now because it's too early to tell - the surgery isn't healed enough for one thing and you mentioned possible work on the other foot as well for another. So it's too soon to even know what she will need. But she will need specialty footwear at some point. You could start doing research now.
